Tiered framing-to-finish pricing, satellite square-footage pre-measurement, rigid-foam and drywall inventory, per-project job costing, egress and moisture workflows, AI-powered finished-basement previews, and Pipelines CRM — all from $29.99/month. Built by contractors, for contractors.
Every basement finishing company runs on the same brutal arithmetic. A 1,200-square-foot unfinished basement walked through on a Tuesday afternoon might be priced at $52,000 for a basic finish, $78,000 for a mid-grade build with a full bath and laundry relocation, or $124,000 for a premium package with a home theater, wet bar, egress bedroom, and radiant-heated porcelain floors. The homeowner doesn’t pick the number — they pick the level. And the CRM for basement finishing companies that presents all three tiers on one clean proposal closes at 30–50% higher average values than the one-number bid from down the street.
QuoteIQ is the field service CRM built for exactly this kind of work. Tiered pricing that matches how basement finishers actually sell — framing-to-finish packages, not line-item spreadsheets. Satellite pre-measurement of the basement footprint before the first site visit. Rigid foam board, framing lumber, drywall, and egress well inventory tracked across the shop and every active jobsite. Per-project job costing that catches the $2,400 change order before it eats the margin on the master suite downstairs. And AI Before/After renderings that let a homeowner standing in an unfinished concrete box see the finished great room with their own two eyes.
QuoteIQ was co-founded by Mike Vidan and Justin Rogers — two operators who spent 20+ years running home service businesses before deciding the existing field service software wasn’t built for how contractors actually work. Every feature inside QuoteIQ was designed around real basement finishing workflows: multi-week project schedules, building-department permits, framing inspections, rough-in electrical and plumbing before drywall closes the walls, the finish trades that wait on each other, and the homeowner who adds a half bath in week three.
The platform starts at $29.99 per month for solo operators on the Essentials plan, scales to $149.99 per month on the Pro plan for four-user crews, and tops out at $699 per month on the Max plan for unlimited users. At every tier, Options Estimates, MapMeasure Pro, QuoteIQ Cam, and the Pipelines CRM come included. No per-user fees. No required integrations. No $800 setup fees for customer self-quoting. No $225/month third-party add-on to measure a basement footprint from satellite imagery.
Compare that to what a basement finishing operation actually pays today on the legacy platforms. A Jobber Grow plan at $249/month plus CompanyCam for photo documentation at $30/user/month runs $448+ per month before any basement-specific features. Housecall Pro MAX at $329/month plus GoiLawn for satellite measurement, plus ResponsiBid for customer self-quoting, plus Ply for inventory, plus an external AI photo tool — the real cost lands between $1,032 and $1,220 per month with a $800 one-time setup fee. ServiceTitan starts at roughly $1,800 per month per technician on a required 12-month contract with early termination fees between $5,000 and $20,000. QuoteIQ Pro at $149.99 delivers more native functionality than any of those stacks, with zero contracts and a 14-day free trial on every plan.
The real advantage shows up on the third Tuesday of the month, when a basement finishing crew is halfway through framing a 1,400-square-foot basement and the homeowner walks down the stairs at lunch to say she’d like to add a wet bar on the north wall. On QuoteIQ, the lead carpenter pulls out his phone, opens AI Autopilot, says “create a change order for a 10-foot wet bar with an undercounter fridge, tile backsplash, quartz top, and rough-in for a sink — price it at $8,400,” and the system builds the estimate, attaches the contract, sends it through ClientHub with an e-signature request, and notifies the office. The homeowner signs from her kitchen upstairs. The carpenter orders the fridge from his inventory screen. Nobody walks back to the truck. Nobody logs into a laptop. Nobody calls the office to relay the scope. One basement finishing platform, one workflow, one change order captured before the finish carpenter starts cutting trim downstairs.
This is what a purpose-built CRM for basement finishing companies actually looks like when the software fits how the trade runs.
The Short Version: QuoteIQ is the #1 CRM for basement finishing companies in 2026 — a field service platform combining tiered framing-to-finish pricing via Options Estimates, satellite basement footprint measurement through MapMeasure Pro, rigid-foam and drywall inventory, per-project job costing, egress and moisture documentation, AI-powered finished-basement previews, and Pipelines CRM for builder and designer referrals. Starting at $29.99/month with no contracts, QuoteIQ is 66–92% cheaper than Jobber, Housecall Pro, or ServiceTitan stacks.
Generic field service CRMs were built for single-visit trades — a pressure wash, a lawn mow, an HVAC tune-up. Basement finishing is the opposite. A typical project runs 4 to 10 weeks from demo to final walkthrough, touches 8 different trades, passes 3 building inspections, and requires photographic documentation of every square inch of rough-in before drywall goes up. The platform has to fit that reality. Here are the 12 features inside QuoteIQ that were designed specifically around how a basement finishing company actually operates.
Present Basic at $48,000 (open great room, half bath rough-in, LVP flooring, builder-grade lighting), Mid-Grade at $76,000 (3 rooms, full bath, laundry relocation, engineered hardwood, recessed lighting), Premium at $118,000 (home theater, wet bar, egress bedroom, radiant-heated porcelain, designer finishes) — all side by side on one proposal. Average project values jump 30–50%.
Learn more →Pull the property footprint from satellite imagery before the site visit. Cross-reference with Zillow records for basement square footage, lot elevation, and drainage grade. Arrive at the consultation already knowing the basement is 1,240 square feet with a walkout on the south wall — not guessing with a tape measure.
Learn more →Track 2×4 and 2×6 framing lumber by grade, rigid foam board by thickness and R-value, metal stud tracks, fiberglass batts, vapor barrier rolls, drywall sheets, joint compound buckets, LVP cartons, egress well kits, GFCI outlets, and every fastener across warehouse and jobsites. Low-stock alerts fire before framing day.
Learn more →A $78,000 mid-grade basement finish should run $48,000 in labor, materials, permits, and subcontractors for a 38% gross margin. Job costing tracks every timesheet entry, material pull, and subcontractor invoice in real time — so you catch the $2,400 change order or the $1,800 subfloor leveling surprise before it quietly eats the project margin.
Learn more →Bundle “basement + egress window + radon mitigation” at $8,400 extra. Bundle “home theater + 7.1 pre-wire + tray ceiling” at $14,200. Bundle “wet bar + beverage fridge + tile backsplash” at $9,600. Homeowners see the package line and add it without re-quoting — average ticket lifts 18–32% on mid-range basement projects.
Learn more →Snap a photo of the unfinished concrete basement. Render the finished great room with drywall, LVP, recessed lighting, the wet bar, and the tray ceiling. Homeowners standing in a dusty rough-in can’t visualize what the basement finishing contractor is selling — this tool lets them see it. Close rate on mid-to-premium tiers lifts 25–40%.
Learn more →Block Week 1 Demo + Dumpster, Week 2 Framing + Egress Window Cut, Weeks 2-3 Rough Electrical + Plumbing + HVAC Extension, Week 3 Framing Inspection, Week 4 Insulation + Vapor Barrier, Weeks 4-5 Drywall + Tape + Mud, Week 6 Paint + Prime, Weeks 6-7 Flooring + Trim, Week 8 Fixtures + Punch List. Drag-and-drop to reshuffle when the plumbing inspector runs late.
Learn more →Photograph every wire, every pipe, every vapor barrier seam, every egress well installation in 4K before drywall closes the walls. Eight years from now when a homeowner says “there’s a leak behind this wall,” you pull up timestamped rough-in photos showing exactly where every copper line and PEX run sits in the basement ceiling.
Learn more →Pre-built bundles: “Open Basement Finish with Half Bath” starting at $38,000, “Family Basement with Full Bath + Laundry” at $68,000, “Luxury Basement with Theater + Bar” at $112,000, “Egress Bedroom Add-On” at $6,400. Homeowners compare packages, not line items. Sales cycles compress from 14 days to 5.
Learn more →Standing in a half-framed basement at 2 PM, covered in drywall dust, the lead carpenter tells his phone “create an estimate for a wet bar addition at 127 Birchwood — 10 feet of cabinetry, undercounter fridge, quartz top, tile backsplash, sink rough-in, price it at $8,400.” Estimate built in seconds. 35+ CRM actions via natural language.
Learn more →Homeowners researching basement finishing call at 9 PM on a Sunday after watching a home-renovation show. If the basement finishing company doesn’t answer, they book with whoever does. Virtual Call Team answers every call, qualifies the lead, books the consultation, and logs the project scope — the crew focused on framing doesn’t miss the $82,000 lead.
Learn more →Separate pipelines track custom home builder basement contracts, interior designer referrals, real-estate agent pre-sale finishes, insurance restoration basements, and direct homeowner leads. One production builder sending 8 new-construction basement finish contracts per year at $42,000 each equals $336,000 in annual revenue — never lose that pipeline to a forgotten follow-up.
Learn more →These 12 features aren’t a checklist — they’re the operating system of a professional basement finishing operation. Every basement finishing company that replaces spreadsheets, text threads, CompanyCam subscriptions, and Excel job cost sheets with one purpose-built platform reports the same two outcomes: projects close faster and margins come in higher.
Here’s how a typical Tuesday looks for a basement finishing company running on QuoteIQ. The operation has one lead carpenter-estimator (the owner), two framing carpenters, one finish carpenter, one subcontracted electrician, one subcontracted plumber, and one part-time office coordinator. Five to eight active basement projects at any given time, ranging from $42,000 to $128,000, with a weekly new-project close rate averaging 1.5 signed contracts. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, construction labor costs vary by 20–30% across U.S. metros — which is why per-project job costing matters on every basement finish.
Owner/estimator Carlos opens QuoteIQ with coffee in hand. The Pipelines CRM dashboard shows 18 active projects across 4 stages: 6 at framing, 4 at rough-in, 5 at drywall-and-finish, and 3 in punch list. Three estimates sent yesterday are still pending — one mid-grade at $68,000, one premium at $124,000, one egress-bedroom add-on at $6,400. Today’s calendar: two jobsite visits (framing inspection at 8 AM, finish walkthrough at 4 PM), one consultation at 1 PM, and 14 ClientHub messages from homeowners with questions about scope, paint selections, and lighting layouts. Carlos reviews the day on the drive to Site 1.
At Site 1, a 1,480-square-foot basement at the framing inspection stage. The building inspector arrives, walks every wall, checks egress window headers, verifies the bedroom closet depth, and signs off. The moment the sticker goes on the permit, Carlos’s two carpenters start documenting with QuoteIQ Cam — every 2×4 wall, every top plate, every bearing-wall LVL, every electrical rough stubout, every PEX manifold, every vapor barrier seam against the concrete. 87 photos captured and organized by room. Three of them flag for the homeowner’s review — a proposed lighting layout change in the family room, a suggested outlet relocation behind the TV wall, and a wet bar cabinet depth question. ClientHub sends all three to the homeowner’s phone. Answers back in 40 minutes.
New consultation at a 1973 ranch with an unfinished 1,180-square-foot basement, a walk-out to the backyard on the south side, and a homeowner who wants “a family space, a guest bedroom with a proper bathroom, and eventually a wet bar.” Before the drive, Carlos ran MapMeasure Pro — the basement footprint measures 1,180 square feet based on the main-level footprint, lot elevation confirms walk-out geometry on the south wall, and Property Street View shows the existing walkout door condition. At the house, 25 minutes walking the space, checking the electrical panel capacity (200 amp — good), the existing HVAC trunk line (adequate for extension), and the moisture staining on the north wall (minor, addressable with rigid foam and a vapor barrier). Build the Options Estimate on the dining room table: Basic at $48,400 (open great room, half bath rough-in, LVP, builder lighting), Mid-Grade at $78,200 (great room + guest bedroom + full bath + laundry relocation + engineered hardwood + recessed lighting), Premium at $118,600 (everything mid-grade plus wet bar, home theater pre-wire, tray ceiling, radiant-heated porcelain bathroom floor, designer fixtures). AI Before/After renders the finished great room with the LVP, the recessed lighting, and a proposed tray ceiling — the homeowner’s wife goes quiet for 15 seconds staring at her phone. Signed at the Mid-Grade tier on the e-signature before Carlos pulls out of the driveway. Deposit collected through ClientHub. Contract attachment includes the scope-of-work PDF, the basement finishing materials specification, the EPA moisture management checklist, and the 10-year workmanship warranty.
Back at Site 1 (the 1,480-square-foot basement at framing inspection), the homeowner mentions she’d like to convert the original half-bath plan into a full bath because “the guest bedroom should have its own shower.” Carlos pulls out his phone, uses AI Autopilot to draft the change order — “add full bath conversion at 127 Birchwood: upgrade from half bath to full bath, add 3×3 tile shower with frameless glass, upgrade vanity to 48-inch quartz top, add exhaust fan, retie HVAC register, price it at $9,800.” Standard Estimate builds in 45 seconds. QuoteIQ Cam photographs the existing rough-in. ClientHub sends it with the e-signature request. Job costing recalculates the project margin — the change order adds $9,800 in revenue against $5,200 in additional labor, materials, and subcontractor time, protecting the 47% gross margin. Signed in 8 minutes. Deposit split auto-invoiced.
At Site 3, a 1,620-square-foot premium basement finish that wrapped punch list last Friday. Carlos walks the homeowner through — the home theater room, the wet bar with the tile backsplash and quartz top, the egress bedroom, the full bath with the radiant-heated porcelain tile, and the laundry relocation. Two small punch items: a slightly crooked light switch plate in the theater and a paint touch-up behind the bar fridge. Both photographed, logged with QuoteIQ Cam, and scheduled for the finish carpenter tomorrow. Back in the truck, Carlos pulls up the job costing report: $124,200 invoiced, $74,800 in actual labor + materials + subcontractors + permits. 39.7% gross margin — right at target. Final invoice sent via ClientHub. Online Payments integration with QuickBooks Online auto-syncs the revenue.
The moment final payment clears on Site 3, Review Multiplier fires an automated 5-star review request to the homeowner via text — with a direct link to the Google Business Profile, the Facebook page, and the Angi listing. The homeowner leaves a 5-star Google review 90 minutes later mentioning “the radiant-heated bathroom floor is a game changer” — exactly the kind of specific, high-intent keyword that ranks a basement finishing company in local search. Back at home, Carlos opens the Business Analytics dashboard: 12 leads this week, 4 consultations held, 3 estimates sent, 2 signed contracts (close rate: 67% on consultations), $152,400 in new revenue booked, 41.2% average gross margin across the active pipeline. The numbers a basement finishing company actually needs to run the business — not spreadsheet math on a Sunday night.
No basement finishing spreadsheet. No CompanyCam subscription. No second phone line. No ResponsiBid add-on at $225/month plus $800 setup. No GoiLawn at $67–$255/month for satellite measurement. No Ply at $13.49 per user for inventory. No separate AI photo tool. No 12-month ServiceTitan contract. One platform that handles estimating, scheduling, inventory, job costing, customer communication, review generation, and analytics from the truck. Every feature that matters, included.
“If you don’t know your actual cost per hour to operate — not just your wage, your full cost — you will price yourself into the ground and never understand why.”

That’s why per-project job costing isn’t a premium feature in QuoteIQ — it’s a baseline requirement. A basement finishing company tracking the real cost inputs on a $78,000 mid-grade project (lumber, rigid foam, drywall, paint, LVP, tile, fixtures, electrical and plumbing rough-in, HVAC extension, permits, subcontractor invoices, dumpster rental, fuel, crew labor) is running a business. A basement finishing company guessing at margin on a Sunday night with an Excel sheet is running a hobby. The CRM for basement finishing companies that fits this reality — from day one, on every plan — is QuoteIQ.
“The map measure pro function has made it very easy to close deals and accurately quote jobs.”
— Ashad siddiqui 123 · App Store · 5★Every basement finishing company shopping for software eventually lands on the same four names: QuoteIQ, Jobber, Housecall Pro, ServiceTitan. Here’s how they stack up on the 15 features that actually matter to a basement finisher — with verified competitor facts and no claims we haven’t checked.

The math is brutal for the legacy platforms. A basement finishing company running Jobber Grow plus CompanyCam spends $5,376 per year — and still doesn’t have satellite basement pre-measurement, AI Before/After previews, customer self-quoting, customer self-scheduling, AI natural language control, or a native 24/7 outbound AI dispatcher. A basement finishing company running Housecall Pro MAX with the required add-ons and the $800 setup fee spends $13,184 in year one — and still can’t match QuoteIQ’s native feature set. ServiceTitan at $1,800+/month is $21,600 per year minimum, on a 12-month contract, with $5,000–$20,000 in early termination fees if the basement finishing company decides the enterprise-grade complexity isn’t a fit. QuoteIQ Pro at $149.99/month is $1,800 per year — roughly $19,800 per year back in the business compared to ServiceTitan alone. A basement finishing company running 20 projects per year at an average $4,500 net margin per project recovers the ServiceTitan-to-QuoteIQ savings on 4.4 jobs — and keeps the other 15.6 for itself.
“A contractor billing $300,000 a year can be in genuine financial trouble if the full cost of operations hasn’t been accounted for. Most solo contractors who’ve never done that math are operating at much lower margins than they realize.”
— Justin Rogers, serial entrepreneur & co-founder of QuoteIQ · Full insights →
A basement finishing company with 4 to 10 crew members needs role-based access that separates what the lead carpenter sees from what the office coordinator sees from what the subcontracted electrician sees. EmployeeHub handles the entire team structure — timesheets, GPS clock-in at the jobsite, role-based permissions, dispatch, and team communication. Here’s how a typical basement finishing operation structures the crew inside QuoteIQ.
Lead carpenter Marcus (Technician role) and framing carpenter Tony (Technician role) handle demo, framing (2×4 and 2×6 walls, LVL headers, egress cut-ins), rough electrical coordination, rough plumbing coordination, HVAC extension, insulation, and vapor barrier installation on premium basement finishes averaging $95,000–$128,000. Both carry Time Tracker Pro on their phones with GPS clock-in at the jobsite. Marcus has access to QuoteIQ Cam, inventory, scheduling, and ClientHub. Tony has access to QuoteIQ Cam and scheduling only. Neither sees pricing, job costing, or customer financial data.
Finish carpenter Derek (Technician role) and helper Luis (Technician role) handle drywall hanging, tape and mud, paint prep and finish, LVP installation, trim and baseboard, door hanging, and punch list work on mid-grade basement finishes averaging $62,000–$78,000. Derek has access to QuoteIQ Cam, inventory, scheduling, and change-order estimates through Standard Estimates. Luis has access to scheduling and QuoteIQ Cam only. GPS tracking confirms jobsite arrival, which validates timesheets and eliminates the “I was there at 7:30” vs “clocked in at 8:15” disputes that kill margin on multi-week projects.
Owner Carlos (Manager role in EmployeeHub) handles sales, estimating, consultations, job costing, subcontractor management, analytics, and client relationships. Office coordinator Sarah (Limited role) handles invoicing, payment processing via Online Payments, ClientHub customer communication, scheduling coordination, and email and text automation — but cannot modify pricing, see job costing margins, or access financial analytics. Subcontracted electrician and plumber get guest access to view scope and scheduling on their assigned projects only. No accidental pricing exposure. No data leaks. Clean role separation.
A basement finishing operation doubling revenue from $600,000 to $1.2 million in a calendar year doesn’t do it by working twice as hard. It does it by building three parallel revenue channels into the business — each feeding the Pipelines CRM, each tracked separately, each optimized independently. Here’s the math on how QuoteIQ supports the growth plan.
Custom home builders finish about 30% of new homes with a basement package sold as an upgrade to the buyer. A regional builder completing 40 homes per year refers 12 basement finish contracts annually at an average of $44,000 per project — $528,000 per year from one builder relationship. Pipelines CRM tracks the builder’s buyer pipeline separately, with each lead flagged by builder, lot number, and anticipated close date. Automated text and email follow-ups and drip campaigns through the builder’s pre-drywall walkthrough window convert 65–80% of buyers who tour the unfinished basement. Two builder relationships at this volume = $1,056,000 annually.
General contractors running whole-home renovations often sub out the basement portion because basement finishing is a specialized trade with its own moisture, egress, and code requirements. A basement finishing company building relationships with 4 general contractors in the metro averages 2 sub-work basement projects per GC per year — 8 total at an average of $38,000 = $304,000 annually. Pipelines CRM tracks each GC’s pipeline separately. QuoteIQ Cam documentation satisfies the GC’s warranty requirements. Online Payments integration with QuickBooks makes progress billing to the GC clean — 30% at framing complete, 30% at drywall complete, 30% at substantial completion, 10% at final walkthrough.
The highest-margin channel. A basement finishing company at 150 Google reviews with a 4.8 average and 4 years of service history ranks on page one for “basement finishing near me” in most metros. 40–60 organic leads per month convert into 12 consultations, 6 signed contracts at an average of $68,000 = $408,000 monthly at full conversion. Review Multiplier automates the post-payment review request. InstaQuote handles after-hours lead capture. InstaSchedule books consultations on nights and weekends when the homeowner is actually shopping. Contact request forms on the company website feed directly into the Sales Tracker. Three channels stacked: $1,056,000 + $304,000 + $408,000 monthly at full scale — a genuinely scaled basement finishing operation. The National Association of the Remodeling Industry reports that remodelers with systematized lead intake grow 3x faster than those relying on word-of-mouth alone.
The CRM for basement finishing companies isn’t one feature — it’s a stack of interlocking features that all run from one login, one database, one mobile app. Here are the 12 core tools every basement finisher uses weekly inside QuoteIQ.
Beyond those 12, every plan includes the full QuoteIQ feature set: Standard Estimates, Quick Estimates, Package Estimates, Invoicing, Online Payments, E-Signatures, Contract Attachments, Expense Tracking, Time Tracker Pro, GPS Tracking, Team Communication, AI Estimator, AI Text Generator, AI Image Generator, Sales Tracker, Business Analytics, Email & Text Automation, Mass SMS Campaigns, Route Optimization, Route Density, InstaQuote, InstaSchedule, Invoice Subscriptions, Inspection Forms, Contact Forms, Property Street View, Zillow Quick Access, Business Calculators, Google Calendar Sync, Before/After Photo Editor, AI Website Builder, and QuickBooks Online Integration. Everything a basement finishing company needs. Nothing sold as a $149/month add-on. Nothing requiring a $800 setup fee. The IRS confirms energy-efficient home improvement credits through 2032 — basement insulation projects qualify, and QuoteIQ’s Options Estimates present the rebate-eligible tiers side-by-side.
Unlike legacy platforms that gate the basement finishing company’s core workflow behind premium tiers, QuoteIQ includes Options Estimates, MapMeasure Pro, QuoteIQ Cam, Pipelines CRM, and Job Costing on every plan. What changes is user count, inventory management, and the premium AI features. Pick the plan that fits the current crew size — upgrade when you add a carpenter.

For context: a typical 4-person basement finishing crew running Housecall Pro MAX with the required basement-specific add-ons (GoiLawn satellite measurement at $67–$255/mo, ResponsiBid customer self-quoting at $225/mo plus $800 setup, Ply inventory at $13.49/user/mo, external AI photo tool at $20/mo, Profit Rhino price book at $149/mo) lands between $1,032 and $1,220 per month in year one with the setup fee. QuoteIQ Pro at $149.99 includes more native functionality than that entire stack — at 87–92% less monthly cost. The BLS construction employment data shows labor is the single largest cost input on a basement finish — so every dollar a basement finishing company sends to software vendors is a dollar it isn’t sending to the framing carpenter. QuoteIQ is priced so that math works.
Jobber Grow plus CompanyCam for photo documentation is $448+ per month before any basement-specific features. ServiceTitan starts at roughly $1,800 per month per technician on a 12-month required contract with $5,000–$20,000 early termination fees. The basement finishing company signing a ServiceTitan contract is locked in for the full year even if the platform doesn’t fit — QuoteIQ’s 14-day free trial and month-to-month billing means you can walk away at any point with zero penalty.
Yes. QuoteIQ offers a 14-day free trial on all plans. No contracts. Cancel anytime. The trial includes full access to Options Estimates, MapMeasure Pro, QuoteIQ Cam, Pipelines CRM, and job costing — enough runway to price out three basement projects, document a rough-in phase, and close a signed contract before the trial expires.
Yes. QuoteIQ’s Options Estimates feature is built for exactly this. Present Basic, Mid-Grade, and Premium packages side-by-side on one proposal — $48,000 open finish vs. $78,000 mid-grade with full bath vs. $118,000 premium with theater and wet bar. Homeowners pick a tier instead of negotiating a single number. Average project values lift 30–50%.
Yes. QuoteIQ’s scheduling handles 4 to 10-week phased basement projects — demo, framing, rough-in, inspection, insulation, drywall, paint, flooring, trim, fixtures, punch list. Drag-and-drop reshuffles downstream phases when the plumbing inspector runs a day late. Google Calendar sync keeps the subcontractor schedule aligned.
QuoteIQ tracks 2×4 and 2×6 framing lumber by grade, rigid foam by thickness and R-value, fiberglass batts, vapor barrier rolls, drywall sheets, joint compound, paint, LVP cartons, trim lumber, egress well kits, electrical boxes, GFCI outlets, and every hardware SKU across warehouse and active jobsites. Low-stock alerts fire before framing day. Available on Elite and Max plans.
Yes. Pipelines CRM creates separate pipelines for custom home builder contracts, general contractor sub-work, interior designer referrals, real-estate agent pre-sale finishes, insurance restoration, and direct homeowner leads. Each pipeline has its own stages, follow-up automation, and close-rate analytics. One custom home builder referring 12 basements per year at $44,000 each = $528,000 that never falls through the cracks.
Yes. QuoteIQ includes AI Before/After (renders the unfinished basement into the finished great room with LVP, recessed lighting, and tray ceiling — close rates on mid-to-premium tiers lift 25–40%), AI Estimator (photo-based estimate generation), AI Autopilot (35 natural language CRM tools — voice control from the jobsite), AI Text Generator (scope-of-work and change-order language), and Virtual Call Team (24/7 AI call answering, inbound and outbound).
QuoteIQ Pro at $149.99/month includes satellite basement pre-measurement, AI Before/After, customer self-quoting, customer self-scheduling, AI natural language control, and outbound AI dispatch — none of which Jobber offers natively. Jobber Grow at $249/month plus CompanyCam at $30/user for photo documentation lands at $448+/month for a 4-person basement finishing crew — and still can’t match QuoteIQ’s feature set. QuoteIQ is roughly 66% cheaper with more native functionality.
Yes. QuoteIQ Cam is built natively into every QuoteIQ plan — 4K photo documentation organized by project, room, and phase; timestamped rough-in records for warranty protection; inspection forms for egress, framing, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC; the Before/After Photo Editor for side-by-side marketing content. A basement finishing company running QuoteIQ cancels the $30/user/month CompanyCam subscription on day one.
Yes. QuoteIQ integrates with QuickBooks Online on the Elite plan and above. Invoices, payments, customers, and expenses sync automatically — the basement finishing company doesn’t double-enter data. Progress billing to a general contractor (30% at framing complete, 30% at drywall complete, 30% at substantial completion, 10% at final walkthrough) flows into the QuickBooks ledger cleanly. Note: QuoteIQ supports QuickBooks Online, not QuickBooks Desktop.
Yes. The Essentials plan at $29.99/month gives a solo basement finishing operator the Options Estimates, MapMeasure Pro, QuoteIQ Cam, Pipelines CRM, job costing, invoicing, ClientHub, and Review Multiplier needed to run a professional operation from day one. Upgrade to Beginner at $74.99/month when the first helper comes on. Upgrade to Pro at $149.99/month when the crew hits 4 people. The pricing scales with the basement finishing company’s growth — no enterprise contract required on day one.
