Apps for contractors and home service businesses

ServiceTitan and Housecall Pro work. They also charge $150–$400/month per tech, process your invoices for a fee, and lock your customer data inside their platform. A custom app gives you scheduling, quoting, dispatch, and client management without the per-seat subscription — and your customers interact with your brand, not a generic field-service marketplace.

Why field service platforms eventually get expensive

$150–$400

/month per technician for ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro, or Jobber — before any add-ons for marketing, financing, or reporting modules.

% of invoices

platform payment processing fees on every job closed through the app, on top of your existing Stripe or Square rates.

Theirs

your customer history, scheduling data, and pricing lives inside the vendor's platform. Leaving costs you data migration pain and customer communication disruption.

A custom-branded field service app pays itself back in 12–24 months for most small multi-tech operations, and you own the data from day one.

What we build for contractors

Job scheduling & dispatch

Customer-facing booking plus an internal dispatch view. Route jobs to the right technician, push job details to their phone, track arrival and completion in real time.

Quoting & invoicing

Customer submits job details and photos, you send an estimate in-app, they approve and pay a deposit. Digital work orders, signed on the tech's phone at job completion.

Client records & history

Full service history per address, equipment records, notes, preferred tech, and warranty dates. Searchable by address, not just customer name — critical for multi-unit properties.

Status updates & reminders

Push notifications and SMS for appointment reminders, tech en-route alerts, and job completion confirmations. Cuts no-shows and reduces inbound calls asking "where's my tech."

Payments & tips

Stripe-powered in-app payment at job completion. Saved card for repeat customers. Optional tip prompt. No separate card reader required for in-person collection.

Owner dashboard

Revenue per tech, job completion rate, average ticket, open quotes, and service area heat map. On your phone, not locked in a vendor portal that requires a browser login.

Common questions

Contractor apps typically fall in the Business Utility tier ($6,500–$9,000) for job scheduling, quoting, client management, and dispatch. Simpler field apps — technician task lists, inspection checklists, digital work orders — may fit the Companion App tier ($4,500–$6,500) if they complement an existing system rather than replacing one. The right scope depends on whether you need customer-facing booking or just internal field tools. Estimate your cost →
Yes — dual-sided apps with a customer-facing booking interface and a separate field worker dispatch view are a standard pattern for home service businesses. Customers book, the system routes the job to the right technician, the tech gets job details on their phone, and the customer gets status updates and an invoice when the job closes. It replaces phone-tag scheduling and paper work orders in one build.
For the core functionality — scheduling, quoting, invoicing, and client records — yes. A custom app doesn't charge per-technician monthly seat fees or take a percentage of invoices. For very large operations with complex route optimization and deep accounting integrations, an enterprise platform may still make sense. For most independent contractors and small multi-tech operations, the payback period on a custom build is 12–24 months. See tier pricing →
Yes — customer-facing quote request flows are a standard feature. Customers describe the job (text, photos, job type), you review and respond with an estimate, and they approve and schedule through the same interface. Approval and deposit collection handled in-app with Stripe — cuts the back-and-forth of emailing PDFs and chasing payment before the job starts.
