• EASILY MANAGE CLIENTS - Create, organize, and store valuable client info, so you can access their info anytime, on the go.
• SAVES TIME - Complete work at the jobsite or on the go, rather than spending your evenings and weekends catching up on paperwork after a long day

Started my small handyman/home improvement business back in 2017 when I came across this app. Godsend with it's ease of use and professional appearance it gave to my clients. I don't use the invoice/pay feature, I still use every day to produce professional results w/pics. Don't mind paying the minor monthly $ as the creators need to make their $ too. Recently though, having "trouble connecting to host servers". No other issues w/any other app. Great product. Just annoyed by connection issues.

Love the app. Streamlines operations for my business. Very professional looking. Only thing I'd like to see changed is being able to turn on covering the cost of the electronic payment fee after contract is signed. We don't know how customers are going to pay until payment is required. Which is usually not due at the time of signing but at the time work is going to start.

Love the app. Need to renew my subscription. Didnthtink I was going back to my remodeling career, but I did and joist makes everything easier and professional for myself and the clients. Miss not being able to add before and after photos. Great invoice and estimate app. I have even had clients use the financial lender option.

Hey Robert, we appreciate you sharing your feedback, and welcome back to remodelling! With Joist Pro, you have two ways to add photos to your document so that you can show your clients before and after shots. We sent you an email to see how we can help you get back up and running, and look forward to picking things up with you from there.
