Tornado alley — storm damage creates major seasonal surge (March-June). Extreme heat in summer. Oil industry creates specialized service demand. Ice storms in winter cause significant damage.
Tile Setters in Broken Arrow 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 still bills you $42/month whether you have clients or not.
Whether you call it billing, a platform for jobs, or a invoicing system — most tile setters in Broken Arrow mix and match Jobber, Housecall Pro, QuickBooks, Square along with other platforms. That's $1,044/year in subscriptions. In half a decade at today's prices, that bill reaches $5,220.

One tap books a client. One tap generates an invoice. No duplicate data entry. No Zapier. No sync fees. It's a no subscription — save money right away. For tile setters in Broken Arrow 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.
Tile is only as good as what's underneath, so every job starts with the surface: floors checked for flatness and deflection, walls in wet areas built with cement board or a waterproofing membrane, because a leaking shower destroys the framing behind it. Showers get the most care: sloping the floor to the drain, waterproofing every seam and corner, and flood-testing before any tile goes on. Layout comes next, snapping lines so the rows are straight, the cuts at the edges are balanced, and no one ends up with a thin sliver of tile at the doorway. Then setting, spreading thinset with the right trowel, back-buttering large tiles, and levelling as I go, since big-format tiles show every lip. Cutting takes time: wet saw for porcelain, careful notches around pipes and outlets. Grout and sealing are a separate day. I quote by the square foot, with prep, waterproofing and demolition listed separately, and the client usually buys the tile, so I tell them how much to order with waste.
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 tile setter'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 tile setter — 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.
