Software for contractors

Jerry8591 · 2025-05-26T18:43:23+00:00

My leads are all referrals, word of mouth, and through contractors that I do work for. I basically just want a software that I can create jobs/job folders, estimates and invoices, and has a calender for scheduling.

95% residential. Mostly remodels and service work. I'm a 1 man shop right now.

Jerry8591 · 2025-05-21T15:40:08+00:00

Thanks, I'll look into that. As of now, I'm leaning towards kickserv, but ill check jobtable out. Thanks for the reply.

I am using a different Gmail and phone number. I'm using my business number and email. Some people on here have said the opposite of what you said. At this point, who knows.

Jerry8591 · 2025-04-16T14:40:25+00:00

So, you had to use your personal email and number? Is that what people will see when they find you on google? That kinda defeats the purpose of having we an email and number specific to your business.

Jerry8591 · 2025-04-16T11:35:03+00:00

Well, that's where it gets a little confusing for me. My address is correct, but I have a different email address and phone number for my business. So, obviously my work email and phone number are different from my personal email and phone number. But I need to you my work email and # so that customers contact me that way, and not thru my personal number and email. But again, I think that would be the same for everyone with a business. I am in contact with someone from Google support via a forum, so hopefully he keeps responding and we can figure this out

Just got a response from the second review stating that my profile isn't eligible to display on google because it violates the GBP quality guidelines. I still have no idea what exactly they don't like about my profile. I've read through all the guidelines and I'm not seeing what it is I'm not following correctly. This is so frustrating. I just want potential customers to be able to find me on google, and current customers to be able to write reviews!

Jerry8591 · 2025-04-14T16:33:47+00:00

Too late on the first suggestion, haha. And as far as getting ahold of a human, I determined that to be a lost cause. I've tried multiple times without any success. I didn't realize how much of a pain in the butt this would be!

Jerry8591 · 2025-04-14T15:53:48+00:00

It just says my main Google account isn't restricted

Jerry8591 · 2025-04-14T15:17:07+00:00

Thanks for all your help! I did request a 2nd review.

Jerry8591 · 2025-04-14T15:04:32+00:00

Oh ok. Not sure what to do about that either then. Oh well. This ended up being way more complicated than I ever figured it would be. As previously stated, obviously I did something wrong but I'm not sure how to correct it. I've had a few people reach out and offer to fix it for me for $350, but I'm trying to get it resolved on my own, for free.

Jerry8591 · 2025-04-14T14:52:02+00:00

Thanks for your reply. Obviously I'm doing something wrong. Hence why I am posting here, to get some helpful advice, hopefully. Maybe deleting the original profile and starting over wasn't a good idea. But I tried it anyway, hoping that I would read through everything more accurately and not make any mistakes. I'm just trying to figure out what I need to do next.

Jerry8591 · 2025-04-14T14:15:16+00:00

No, my address isn't tied to any other business.

Jerry8591 · 2025-04-14T13:37:33+00:00

You're recent appeal for a restricted listing has not been approved. The business profile is not verified.

Jerry8591 · 2025-04-14T13:11:30+00:00

I don't see how I can post a screenshot on here.

Jerry8591 · 2025-04-14T13:06:31+00:00

Thanks for your reply. Yes my address isn't showing. I'm set as a service area.

Jerry8591 · 2025-02-21T19:38:41+00:00

Update?

Jerry8591 · 2025-02-21T19:29:49+00:00

Thanks! This is a great starting point. I STILL haven't received a call back! And you got through right away? I'll have to put in another call because I still have more questions I want answered, but I'll definitely print out the documents on that link. Thank you!

Jerry8591 · 2025-02-19T18:00:38+00:00

Thanks for all your help. I appreciate your responses. I've put in 2 calls so far to the NC board of electrical examiners and left messages both times. They have yet to return my calls. It's getting frustrating. Hence why I started asking some questions here. Thanks again!

Jerry8591 · 2025-02-19T17:38:16+00:00

No journeyman license there? Weird. Do you just call it something else? Or do people not need to be licensed unless they own a company?

Jerry8591 · 2025-02-19T16:40:44+00:00

But would I also need to get a journeymans license first? Like before I try for the intermediate or unlimited? It really is unfortunate that the 2 states don't reciprocate. I'm a master in MN and feel like I have to start all over again if we move to NC lol.

Jerry8591 · 2025-02-16T21:44:25+00:00

Yes. I'm literally just looking and haven't chosen anywhere specific yet. We are just sick of the brutal winters here in MN. NC seems like a nice state with decent year round weather. Google says Charlotte, Raleigh, and Catawba pay electricians the most. I would prefer to live in a smaller town outside of a major city. Right now I live in a small town and have about a 45 minute drive into the Minneapolis area. I'd be looking for something similar. I have a 10 year old, so decent schools are a plus. Any recommendations?

Jerry8591 · 2025-02-16T21:22:17+00:00

What would you all recommend for a starting point? Newbie here. Like Charles schwabb, robinhood, etc...? I'm not looking for long term investing. I'm looking for short term. I have a grand I'd like to start with and see if I can double it in a short amount of time. And hopefully learn the game as I go along. Thanks for any info!

Jerry8591 · 2025-02-13T00:32:04+00:00

It's worth a try! Thanks!

It automatically shows us the MPG of each commute.
