been in the handyman game for a couple years now, mostly doing drywall patches, deck repairs, and the occasional smart lock install with those August models. I'm up in Minnesota and the winters mean I gotta track jobs tight to avoid scheduling screwups when the snow hits. Currently using Jobber but it's clunky for invoicing small jobs like fixing squeaky floors or mounting TVs with Sanus brackets. Saw a thread on r/handyman where guys raved about Housecall Pro for its quick quoting on handyman stuff, so thinking of switching. Anyone else made the jump? What's your go-to for tracking materials like 2x4s or caulk without the hassle? Guy in Handyman Nation group mentioned integrating with QuickBooks for better collections on those odd jobs.
jobber's invoicing is a total clusterfuck for small gigs, feels like they designed it to piss off solo handymen like us. housecall pro ain't much better, but at least it doesn't nickel and dime you on every damn quote like angi leads do.

housecall pro's quoting is way faster for those small handyman jobs, i switched last year and cut my invoicing time in half. for materials tracking, it syncs alright with quickbooks but i still use their inventory add-on to log stuff like 2x4s without the headache.

dont jump to housecall pro without checking their integration fees first, i got hit with a surprise $200/month add-on for quickbooks sync and it turned my invoicing into a bigger hassle than jobber ever was.
