Why Skilled Trades Choose CPC

If you’re in the trades, you already know the story. The customer gets charged $100, $125, sometimes even $150 an hour for your labor—but when payday comes, you’re only pocketing $20 or $25. The company you work for keeps the rest. You’re the one sweating in the attic, on the roof, under the sink, or in the dirt trenching lines, yet someone else gets the lion’s share of the reward.

At CostPlus Contracting (CPC), we believe that’s broken. It’s backwards. And it’s time for a change.

A New Model That Respects the Worker

CPC is built on a principle of transparency for homeowners, but that same principle extends to the people who make it all happen—you. Instead of hiding behind inflated rates and keeping most of the money for management or overhead, we flip the model upside down.

Here’s how it works: when a customer pays us for labor, you—the skilled tradesperson—get that pay. Period. We don’t water it down. We don’t slash it in half. We don’t treat you like a commodity.

At CPC, if the customer pays $50 an hour for labor, that’s what you see in your paycheck. You’re finally paid what you’re actually worth.

Why This Matters

The trades are the backbone of our communities. Without you, roofs don’t get built, HVAC systems don’t run, plumbing doesn’t flow, lights don’t turn on, and homes don’t stand. Yet, for decades, the people doing the hardest, most essential work have been undervalued and underpaid while companies padded their margins.

We’re here to say: enough is enough.

At CPC, we don’t just talk about valuing the trades—we prove it by putting the money where it belongs: in the hands of the people who do the work.

More Than Just a Job—A Career Built on Respect

When you work at CPC, you’re not just punching a clock. You’re part of a movement that’s reshaping the trades forever. We’re creating a culture where workers are:

  • Paid Fairly – You earn what the job is actually worth, not a fraction of it.

  • Respected Deeply – Your skills, sweat, and knowledge are recognized as the lifeblood of our business.

  • Empowered to Grow – With higher pay and clear pathways to learn new trades, you’re in control of your future.

  • Part of a Bigger Vision – CPC isn’t just about one trade—it’s about transforming every trade. You have the opportunity to be on the frontlines of that revolution.

The Pride of Ownership

There’s something powerful that happens when you’re paid directly for the value you create. Work stops feeling like “just a job” and starts feeling like ownership. At CPC, when you put in eight hours of sweat, you know exactly what that time is worth—and you see it in your paycheck. That connection builds pride, loyalty, and a sense of dignity that’s been missing in the trades for far too long.

Join the Revolution

The trades are changing, and CPC is leading the charge. We’re building something bigger than a business—we’re building a future where tradespeople are treated as partners, not pawns.

If you’re tired of giving your best while only getting crumbs, if you’re ready to be part of a company that actually values your labor the way customers value it, then CPC is where you belong.

This isn’t just another job offer. This is your chance to help change the game for every skilled tradesperson who comes after you. At CPC, you’ll finally earn what you’re worth. You’ll finally be respected for what you bring. And you’ll finally have the chance to build not just homes and systems—but a career and a life that make you proud.

At CPC, we don’t just hire tradespeople. We honor them. We empower them. We pay them what they deserve.

The old way is broken. The future is here. Come join us and be part of it.
