On The Top Roofing
Brett spent over a decade running crews, leads, complaints, and Friday afternoon scheduling miracles in Springfield, Ohio. He learned the hard way that good systems are the difference between a profitable summer and chaos.
Zaptask A.I. wasn't built in a glass tower by people who've never picked up a service call. It was built by Brett Simpson โ former owner of On The Top Roofing โ and shaped by what a service business owner actually deals with at 7am Monday morning.
Founder ran roofing crews for over a decade. Every workflow shaped by what a real service business actually deals with.
Sales leads silo'd from finance. Department-level access. HIPAA-grade encryption built in from day one.
Brett personally configures every account. If something breaks, you text him directly. No support queue overseas.
Portal up in 24. AI assistants trained and live in 48. No multi-month implementations. No consulting fees.
Most software founders start in software. Brett didn't. He started on a ladder in the rain, holding a clipboard and a phone that wouldn't stop ringing. Here's how it went.
Brett spent over a decade running crews, leads, complaints, and Friday afternoon scheduling miracles in Springfield, Ohio. He learned the hard way that good systems are the difference between a profitable summer and chaos.
The housing collapse stopped the phones overnight. Crews idled. Survival meant reinvention. By 11pm Monday, Brett was teaching himself HTML and CSS at the kitchen table.
MySQL unlocked dynamic data. Sites that actually did something โ quote tracking, customer logs, scheduling boards. The seed of every Zaptask feature was planted in this period.
Java for logic. JavaScript for the front end. C++ for the parts that needed precision. Year by year, the toolkit grew. The vision was still vague โ but the chops were getting real.
Python pulled it all together. Suddenly the inefficiencies Brett had lived through on roofs โ botched schedules, vanishing inventory, endless call loops โ were solvable in code. The lightbulb came on: why patch problems manually when AI could preempt them?
Built in Springfield, Ohio. Multi-tenant. HIPAA-ready. Configured to industry from day one โ not a generic AI bolt-on. The platform Brett wishes he'd had when he was running crews.
Multi-tenant platform live. Paying clients across multiple verticals. Brett still personally onboards every account and answers his own phone. Service business background, service business work ethic.
No army of account managers. No tier-1 support queue. Just two operators who've been on the wrong end of a missed call and built the company so you don't have to be.

Former owner of On The Top Roofing in Springfield, Ohio โ where he learned at 1am on rainy roofs that good systems separate profit from chaos. Self-taught coder since 2008. Today he builds Zaptask, personally onboards every client, and answers his own phone. If something breaks, you text him โ not a support queue overseas.

30+ years in operations. Terry started in the 1990s as one of the first sales consultants at On The Top Roofing โ Brett's company at the time. His knack for systems and customer experience moved him into Director of Operations within months. Now at Zaptask, he works directly with business owners โ manufacturers, contractors, healthcare practices, retailers โ to find exactly where AI saves time and beats competitors, then makes sure it actually gets implemented. No buzzwords. Just operations expertise meeting practical AI.
This is the punchline of the story. Brett didn't read a book about service business pain points. He ran the route. Every feature in Zaptask traces back to a specific moment of "this shouldn't be this hard."
