The EveryContractor.com concept
is born: match consumers and industry professionals through technology
and first-class customer service. EveryContractor’s founder, David
Johnson, lays the groundwork for creating one of the first information
networks of its kind. The goal: make finding a building or home improvement
contractor easy, safe and free. The company is unofficially known
as VegasContractors.com and the focus is initially within Nevada.
Originally, this fledgling business is housed in the founder’s home.
