The independent, vendor-neutral guide to AI — built by a contractor who's been in the field, run the crews, and now builds AI solutions for the trades.
Licensed contractor, AI strategist, and the person behind AI for Contractors.
Chuck Kile isn't a tech blogger who read a few articles about AI. He's a licensed contractor with over two decades of hands-on experience in the construction industry. He's pulled permits, managed crews, dealt with customers, and understands the daily realities of running a contracting business.
After years in the field, Chuck founded a marketing agency dedicated to serving contractors and home service professionals. Over 8 years, he worked with more than 130 contractors — learning their pain points, operational challenges, and what actually moves the needle for their businesses.
Most AI content is written by tech marketers trying to sell you something. Chuck created AI for Contractors as an independent, vendor-neutral resource because contractors deserve straight-talk guidance from someone who understands both the technology and the trade.
There are no affiliate links influencing recommendations. No sponsored reviews. No gated content. Just practical, honest information about how AI can help — or can't help — your contracting business.
Chuck also runs the "Chuck the Contractor" YouTube channel, where he shares practical insights on technology, marketing, and business strategies for contractors in a no-nonsense, easy-to-understand format.
Beyond writing about AI, Chuck is actively building AI solutions for the trades through Adapt Digital Solutions. This hands-on experience developing and deploying real AI tools for contractors informs every article on this site — ensuring the advice is grounded in what actually works, not theoretical possibilities.
