Texas has no state income tax. Every dollar you save on software stays in your pocket. The $765 annual savings from switching to Nexa is real money — not reduced by state taxes.
Extreme summer heat drives HVAC demand. Hurricane risk on Gulf Coast. Year-round construction. Rapid population growth in DFW, Austin, Houston, San Antonio creates sustained demand. Freeze events (like 2021) create emergency plumbing/HVAC surge.
Chimney Cleaners in Amarillo should plan their cash flow around these patterns. Nexa's budget envelope system helps you set aside revenue during peak season to cover slow months — something Jobber can't do because it keeps taking your money $42/month during slow months.
Whether you call it invoice management, a program for jobs, or a invoicing system — most chimney cleaners in Amarillo string together Jobber, Housecall Pro, QuickBooks, Square plus other subscriptions. That's $1,044/year in SaaS payments. Over the next 5 years at today's prices, that stack costs $5,220.
With Nexa, you own your tools. Your CRM, invoice management, booking, jobs, time tracking, and financial tools — in a single program. A single action books a client. A single action generates an invoice. No copying between apps. No third-party glue. No add-on costs. It's a buy once — save money the moment you switch. For chimney cleaners in Amarillo weighing the switch, the 30-day money-back guarantee covers the migration window — you can run Nexa in parallel with your existing subscriptions, verify the workflow handles your real client load, and only cancel the monthly tools once you are confident the data and processes have settled in.
Fall rush is on, so the schedule is packed with people who want the chimney swept before they light the first fire. First house is a classic annual cleaning: I lay drop cloths from the door to the hearth, seal the firebox, and set up the HEPA vacuum so soot doesn't get loose, then run the rods up the flue with a brush sized to the tile liner, working the creosote loose from below. I drop the inspection camera down to check my work and the liner, and it looks clean. Second house is the problem one: the flue is coated in shiny, hard glazed creosote from burning unseasoned wood, the kind a brush bounces off, so I have to explain it's a chimney-fire hazard and quote a chemical treatment and a return visit. On the roof I check the cap and find it rusted through with a gap a bird already nested in, more bad news to deliver. After lunch I sweep a wood stove with a stiffer brush and clear the connector pipe. The last call is an inspection only, a home sale, where I camera the flue, check the crown for cracks, run the moisture meter on the masonry, and write it up. I vacuum every firebox spotless before I leave because the fastest way to lose a customer is a sooty footprint on their carpet, and I log which chimneys need a follow-up so they're booked before winter hits.
That is the work Nexa is built around: the job, the client, the hours and the invoice live in one place, so the paperwork side of the day doesn't need a second shift.
Every one of those was bought once and earns its keep for years. Nexa is priced the same way: $279 once, and it keeps working whether business is busy or slow.

We build a chimney sweep's guide the same way every time, and we'd rather you trust it than take it on faith. Nexa is our product, so the test we hold ourselves to is simple: a tool only "wins" a job here when it genuinely does that job better for a chimney sweep — and where something free, open-source, or buy-once does it better, we say so and link you to it. Where Nexa falls short (payroll is the honest example), we name the alternative outright.
Found something out of date? Prices change and we don't catch every move the day it happens. This guide is published and maintained by the Nexa team; if a figure here is wrong, tell us and we'll fix it — getting it right matters more to us than the sale.
