The math doesn't lie.
Stucco Contractors deal with unique challenges that generic software was not built for: Weather delays critical — can't apply stucco in rain or extreme temps. Per-square-foot estimating requires accurate wall measurements. Multi-day cure times between coats extend job timelines. Material waste from mixing more than needed. Housecall Pro charges $99/month on top of these daily realities. The median stucco contractor earns $45,000/year — $1,188/year in software subscriptions is a significant percentage of that income, paid every year, forever.
Nexa is $279 once. Invoicing, scheduling, CRM, time tracking, accounting — all connected, built for stucco contractors. You own it like you own your Stucco sprayer and mixer.
You're on day 2 of a residential stucco job — scratch coat applied yesterday, today is the brown coat. Materials: $800 in stucco mix, mesh, and corner bead. You quoted $5,500 for the job. Rain is forecast for Thursday, which delays the finish coat by 2 days. You have a helper at $180/day and scaffolding rental at $200/week. Another homeowner wants a quote for a repair job ($800 range). Your estimating is square footage math on a scrap of paper.
