“So simple, professional, and gives the customer so many options to pay including financing and credit cards. It has upped my business sales 35%-45%.”

More jobs. Faster payments. Less paperwork.
You spend the day troubleshooting, quoting panel upgrades, and running between installs. But, there's still paperwork to finish after hours. Joist's electrical estimating and invoicing app lets you quote work from the jobsite. You can invoice at the property and organize customer details, too. Plus, homeowners see exactly what they’re paying for, which wins their trust.

You arrive for a troubleshooting call. Then, the homeowner asks about panel upgrades or new wiring. Later that week, you’re trying to piece the quote together from photos and notes. The homeowner is sick of waiting, so they call someone else.
With Joist
Use Joist's electrical estimate software to send professional estimates fast. You can store customer photos, notes, and past job history under each property address for fast follow up. And for bigger projects like panel upgrades, it’s easy to offer homeowner financing.
You finished the job days ago, but the invoice? It's still not done. The visit turned into extra troubleshooting, added repairs, and a supply run. Now you’re trying to remember what to charge before you miss billable work or the customer questions the final price.
With Joist
Get paid faster with mobile invoicing for electrical contractors. Add labor, materials, and markups while the work is fresh, then accept payments from your phone. Send invoices before leaving the property and give homeowners a clear breakdown of the work completed.
The last thing you feel like doing after a week of service calls and same-day jobs is bookkeeping. Receipts are everywhere, expenses are hard to track, and getting a handle on the money side of your business keeps getting pushed to the bottom of your to-do list.
With Joist
With Joist, receipts don’t get buried in jobsite paperwork. Expense tracking stores them from your phone, while reporting gives you a quick view of the cash that came in that month. And if you’ve got a new opportunity ahead but need funds, apply for Joist Lending in the app.
You already worked at the house before, but now you’re digging through old texts and photos, trying to remember panel details or what permits you need. That wastes time before the visit and can make you look unprepared in front of the homeowner.
With Joist
Joist's electrical invoice app improves contractor organization. Store client history, photos, invoices, and property details in one place. Quickly find what you need before service calls, repairs, and repeat visits. Expense tracking and reporting help keep the admin side organized.
Whether wiring for a remodel or performing repairs, you already won the customer. So why are you still chasing new leads while they search Google and hire a competitor with more reviews? Good work doesn’t always turn into repeat business on its own.
With Joist
After a customer pays, Joist can automatically send a Google review request. More good reviews help homeowners trust your business before they call. That means past electrical jobs can keep bringing in new customers instead of disappearing once the invoice is paid.
“Very easy to navigate and create custom invoices and estimates; easy to keep a database of clients and customers; easy to keep a rolling list of items and set pricing on each line item.”
