Fire Sprinkler Installers face unique challenges: AHJ inspection scheduling — every job needs the local fire marshal. NFPA 13 vs 13R vs 13D compliance varies by occupancy type. Hydrostatic test pressure (200 psi for 2 hours minimum). Annual ITM (inspection, testing, maintenance) recurring contracts. Permit and plan-approval lag pushes commercial jobs by weeks. On top of all that, Housecall Pro charges $99/month ($1,188/year) — money that comes directly from your revenue. The median fire sprinkler installer earns $55,000/year. Software at $1,188/year is a meaningful percentage of that income, every year, forever. And you do not own anything.
