Built from firsthand experience with the challenges contractors face

Joist began with a simple goal: make running a contracting business easier. After building and growing their own service-based company in Eastern Canada, our founders saw how much time contractors were spending on paperwork, payment collection, and admin tasks. They created Joist so contractors could estimate jobs, send invoices, accept payments, and stay organized—without adding more complexity to the workday.
