Why Paving Contractors Leave Jobber

✗Per-user pricing scales expensively ($29/user/month)
✗Marketing Suite is extra $79/month on lower tiers
✗Job costing only on Grow plan
✗Expense tracking locked to higher tiers
✗Real cost often $300-600/month for small teams
✗I recently canceled two subscriptions. HouseCall Pro is far superior. This company held me hostage for $8,250 for seven days claiming it was my first
✗Jobber is an overengineered platform that still lacks basic functionality. Confirmation emails cannot include a clear list of services being provided.
✗Their pricing could use some help. Features locked to higher tier should be included as default.
Paving Contractors are leaving Jobber every week.

You're not the only one who's had enough.

Why This Matters for Paving Contractors

Most of my work is asphalt driveways, parking lots and repairs. A new driveway starts with the base, which is where most failures begin: excavating to the right depth, installing and compacting gravel in layers, and grading so water runs off rather than pooling. Asphalt arrives hot from the plant and the clock starts; it has to be spread, raked and rolled at the right temperature, so the crew and trucks are timed to keep it flowing. Edges get compacted and the finished surface has to be smooth and pitched correctly. Parking lots add line striping, handicap spaces that meet code, and drainage around catch basins. Repairs are steady work: crack sealing, patching potholes, and sealcoating that protects the surface from sun and water every few years. The season runs from spring to late fall, since asphalt can't be laid in the cold. Equipment, rollers, pavers and trucks, is expensive to own and maintain. I quote by the square foot, with base work and removal of the old surface listed separately, and take a deposit to schedule.

Paving Contractors face unique challenges: Material costs (asphalt, gravel, concrete) fluctuate with oil prices. Weather delays push schedules out and overlap jobs. Large job deposits tie up cash between mobilization and completion. Sealcoating season is short and weather-dependent. On top of all that, Jobber charges $49/month ($588/year) — money that comes directly from your revenue. The median paving contractor earns $50,000/year. Software at $588/year is a meaningful percentage of that income, every year, forever. And you do not own anything.

Your Asphalt and concrete equipment is yours. You bought it once. Nexa works the same way — $279 once for invoicing, scheduling, CRM, time tracking, and full accounting. All connected. All offline-capable. You own it like you own your tools.
