FOUNDERS

Kurt_400x400_IMG_6541-1.jpg

THE MACHINIST

Kurt Huber is a lifelong machinist who’s worked on everything from 20-ton castings to aerospace parts. He’s the kind of guy who sees wasted motion and immediately starts building a better way. Not a corporate guy. Just someone who loves to make smart machines that solve real problems.

THE IDEA GUY

Dave Carter is a Marine vet, former corrections officer, and a guy who knows hard work inside and out. He was up on his own roof one day — sweating, scraping, and fed up with how slow and painful the tear-off was — when the idea hit him.

If you’ve ever stood on a hot roof with your back screaming and your arms shot before lunch — you know what we’re talking about.

Tearing off shingles is brutal.

It’s slow. It’s back-breaking. And it chews through good workers faster than most owners care to admit.

Most of the time, the tools are part of the problem, they haven’t changed in 30 years. Same old pry bars and shovels. Same hunching over. Same sore backs and lost time.

We decided to fix that.

Two Guys. One Mission:

Make Shingle Removal Suck Less.

Ask any crew lead or foreman — shingle removal is the worst part of roofing.

Your guys get smoked by 10am. Good workers leave. Jobs run over. And you and your clients don’t have time to spare these days.

 

We knew there had to be a better way to:

  • Tear off faster

  • Keep your crew upright

  • Stop wasting money on slow labor or busted tools

  • And give crews something that actually helps them
