FAQ
Many homeowners are looking for high-quality work, but the full project cost can feel overwhelming all at once. Offering homeowner financing through Joist gives customers a way to spread payments over time, making larger projects feel more manageable. That helps you convert more leads into jobs, protect your full scope of work, and increase your average project size without lowering your pricing.
Happy customers are most likely to leave a review right after the job is finished and payment is complete. Joist helps you capture that moment automatically by sending review requests for you. A steady stream of recent 5-star reviews offers social proof, builds trust with future customers, helps you stand out online, and makes it easier to win new work.
Traditional bank loans can take weeks, require lengthy applications, and create delays when you need funds quickly. Joist Lending helps you check your options in minutes and access funding as soon as the next business day. That means you can buy materials, cover payroll, or move quickly on a larger opportunity without waiting on bank approvals or complicated paperwork.
A free membership is included for US-based Joist Pro and Elite subscribers, so you can get more value from the purchases and tools you already use. Along with rewards on qualifying materials and supply purchases, members get access to contractor resources, expert insights, and community support designed to help businesses keep growing.
Growth works best when every part of your business supports the next opportunity. Financing helps you win larger jobs, reviews help establish credibility with future customers, business funding helps you move quickly when opportunities come up, and rewards help lower everyday costs. Together, these tools help you build momentum, improve cash flow, and strategically scale your business over time.
