Insulation Installers face unique challenges: R-value math per job (climate zone, attic vs walls vs crawlspace). Spray foam vs blown-in vs batt = three separate skill sets, three pricings. Energy-rebate paperwork passthrough (utility rebates make customers happy). Air-sealing prep work that homeowners didn't budget for. Respirator-fit annual cert and OSHA records. On top of all that, Jobber charges $69/month ($828/year) — money that comes directly from your revenue. The median insulation installer earns $55,000/year. Software at $828/year is a meaningful percentage of that income, every year, forever. And you do not own anything.

Jobber is just one piece. What else are you losing money on?

7am at an attic retrofit — homeowner wants R-49, currently R-19. 8am air-sealing prep (cans, foam in the can lights). 10am cellulose machine fired up, hose to the attic, a helper on the gun. Noon you've got 1,200 pounds blown in. 1pm IR check on a wall section. 3pm rebate paperwork with the homeowner. 5pm second job — a basement rim joist with closed-cell foam.
