Challenges Before Choosing JobTread
What were the biggest challenges you faced in your construction projects prior to using JobTread?
"Before JobTread, I was using other softwares and I couldn’t afford to hire anybody else. I was so disorganized that I didn't know how much money I was making or how much money I was spending. I struggled with inaccurate job costing, and inefficiencies in communication and project management."
How did those challenges impact your team's morale, project timelines, and client relationships?
"The lack of organization and visibility into project finances made it difficult to hire additional help and affected my family life. I would come home from a long day's work, sometimes 14 hour days, and I have kids at home but I’d still have work to do. JobTread changed that by automating tasks, streamlining processes, and providing real-time data."
Which JobTread features have made the biggest impact on your remodeling business?
"Investing in efficiency is crucial for success. Take the leap, explore the software, and leverage resources like pre-built templates to streamline your workflow. You can customize the templates to align with your specific needs and preferences."

Any last remaining thoughts or advice for remodelers looking to grow their business?
"In 2024, writing on a napkin is no longer an acceptable form of doing an estimate, or doing a ballpark estimate, or doing anything for that matter other than wiping food off your face. If you want to be a professional company, you have to give a professional appearance. Spend the money, buy a subscription to JobTread and do yourself a favor. Learn it, have your team learn it, and then just be successful. It really just takes sharpening your mind and using these products at your disposal and doing what needs to be done, and you'll be successful."
