Foundation Repair face unique challenges: Settlement diagnosis is half engineering, half experience. Push pier vs helical pier vs crack injection = different price tiers. Engineered drawings + permit lag pushes job start dates by weeks. Transferable lifetime warranty paperwork. Realtor referrals — pre-sale inspection work peaks in spring. On top of all that, QuickBooks charges $55/month ($660/year) — money that comes directly from your revenue. The median foundation repair earns $55,000/year. Software at $660/year is a meaningful percentage of that income, every year, forever. And you do not own anything.
Your Hydraulic concrete cylinder press (push pier rig) 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.
