Tiered per-square-foot tile pricing, satellite kitchen wall measurement, lot-number tile and grout inventory, AI-powered Before/After visualization, builder and designer pipelines — all in one platform from $29.99/month.
Backsplash work is half showroom and half craft. A homeowner brings in a Pinterest board with subway tile, herringbone marble, and zellige in earthy terracotta — and expects you to walk in, measure the wall behind the range, price three options to the square foot, and tell them which one survives a 12-burner cooktop and a toddler with a juice box. Generic field service software can’t carry that conversation. QuoteIQ can. It’s the only CRM for backsplash installation companies built around per-square-foot tile pricing, satellite measurement, lot-number inventory, and the kitchen designer and builder pipelines that drive real backsplash revenue.
Backsplash installation lives at the intersection of three trades. It’s tile work, so you need waterproofing prep, mortar and grout knowledge, and a tile saw. It’s a finish trade, so the install has to land flush against cabinets, range hoods, outlets, and quartz waterfalls. And it’s a design product, so customers compare textures, edge profiles, grout colors, and pattern layouts before they sign anything. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, tile and marble setters earn median wages well above the construction trades average — but the spread between top and bottom earners in this trade is wide. The difference is almost always operational: who quotes faster, who upsells the herringbone tier, who tracks margin on each job, and who collects the review that lands the next kitchen.
Most field service platforms were built for one-truck pressure washing or HVAC service-call workflows. They handle a flat estimate, a credit-card invoice, and a thank-you text. They don’t handle ceramic 3×6 subway at $9.50 per square foot installed alongside large-format porcelain slab at $32 per square foot installed on the same proposal. They don’t pre-measure backsplash square footage from a satellite kitchen footprint before you drive 40 minutes to the consultation. And they don’t track Walker Zanger zellige in 12 colors, glass mosaic sheets in 8 finishes, and three boxes of marble subway across the warehouse, the truck, and four active job sites — without losing a lot number when a homeowner orders a repair piece three years later.
QuoteIQ was built by people who actually ran service businesses. Co-founders Mike Vidan and Justin Rogers spent more than 20 years each operating field service companies before they built the platform — Mike on the pricing, sales, and customer side; Justin on the systems, software, and scaling side. You can watch them break down real operator workflows on the QuoteIQ YouTube channel. Every feature in this platform exists because they hit the wall it solves while running their own crews.
Options Estimates let backsplash installers present three tiered prices on one proposal — Standard ceramic subway, Upgraded handmade ceramic or glass mosaic, Premium zellige or large-format slab. Homeowners pick a tier instead of choosing between you and a cheaper bid. MapMeasure Pro measures backsplash square footage from satellite imagery in 60 seconds, so you walk into the consultation already knowing the wall covers 38 square feet behind the range and 14 square feet on the side wall. Inventory Tracking handles tile by SKU, color, lot number, and box count across the warehouse, the install van, and active job sites — so when a homeowner texts in 18 months asking for a replacement tile after a hood swap, you know exactly which lot you ordered and where the leftovers ended up.
Pipelines CRM tracks the channels that drive real backsplash revenue separately. Direct homeowner kitchen leads in one Kanban. Kitchen remodeler subcontract relationships in another. Builder backsplash packages in a third. Interior designer specifications in a fourth. AI Before/After previews render a homeowner’s existing dated tile transformed into the herringbone marble they’ve been pinning for two years — and that single visual closes the Premium tier on jobs where a typed estimate would have lost to a $400 cheaper bid. Contract attachments auto-attach your tile installation contract, lippage tolerance disclosures, and warranty terms to every approved estimate. This is what a real CRM for backsplash installation companies looks like — every step of the workflow, from satellite measurement to lot-tracked inventory to designer pipelines, in one platform.
The Short Version: QuoteIQ is the #1 CRM for backsplash installation companies in 2026 — a field service platform that combines per-square-foot tiered tile pricing, satellite kitchen wall measurement, lot-number tile inventory, AI Before/After visualization, and dedicated builder and designer pipelines for $29.99 to $699/month, with a 14-day free trial on every plan.
Every backsplash company starts with two trucks and a saw. The ones that scale to a real operation share one thing: a CRM for backsplash installation companies that handles tiled pricing, satellite measurement, lot inventory, photo documentation, designer pipelines, and AI selling tools without bolting on six different subscriptions. Here are the 12 features that move the needle.
Present Standard ceramic 3×6 subway at $9.50/sq ft installed, Upgraded handmade ceramic or glass mosaic at $18/sq ft, and Premium zellige, marble subway, or large-format porcelain slab at $32/sq ft — all on one proposal with grout color, edge profile, and pattern layout side by side.
Learn more →Pre-measure backsplash square footage from satellite kitchen footprints before the consultation. Pull cabinet runs, island returns, and full-height wall area in 60 seconds — quote the wall before you walk through the door.
Learn more →Track ceramic, porcelain, glass mosaic, marble subway, and zellige by SKU, color, lot number, and box count across the warehouse, the install van, and active job sites. Lot-number tagging makes warranty replacements three years later trivial.
Learn more →Track tile, thinset, grout, sealer, sub costs (electrician for outlet relocations), and labor against the contract on every job. See real margin on a $1,400 ceramic subway versus a $4,200 marble herringbone — in real time, not at the end of the month.
Learn more →Render the homeowner’s existing dated 4×4 ceramic transformed into the herringbone marble they’ve been pinning for two years. The visual closes Premium tier projects that a typed estimate alone would lose to a cheaper bid.
Learn more →4K phase documentation — pre-demo conditions, drywall and outlet prep, backer board or waterproofing membrane, thinset, tile set, grout cure, sealer application, finished install. Timestamped photos protect warranty claims and feed the next ten Pinterest-pinned proposals.

Learn more →Here’s how a typical day looks for a backsplash installation company using QuoteIQ — from morning warehouse prep through closing a Premium herringbone kitchen, upselling a designer client, tracking margin in real time, and triggering review requests that land tomorrow’s bookings.
Open EmployeeHub on the warehouse iPad. Crew A is set for the Hutchinson kitchen — 38 square feet of zellige in Sage Green at $32/sq ft Premium tier, signed at $1,820 last Tuesday. Crew B has two production-builder kitchens to roll through, both Standard ceramic subway at $760 each. Pull the Hutchinson tile bin from Inventory Tracking — 11 boxes of zellige Lot #7421, three 50-lb bags of white modified thinset, two cartridges of unsanded grout in Mushroom, half a bottle of penetrating sealer. Inventory shows lot numbers tagged, so if a tile cracks during set, the replacement order pulls from the same lot. Crew B’s truck loads from the production-builder pre-built bin — eight boxes of 3×6 white subway, sanded grout in Bright White. Both trucks roll by 7:30 AM. GPS tracking shows Crew A on I-405, Crew B already at the builder site.
Crew A arrives at the Hutchinson home. The existing 4×4 ceramic comes off the wall in sheets — pre-1995 mastic, easy demo. QuoteIQ Cam captures pre-demo conditions, the bare drywall, the cabinet upper run, and the existing range hood for permit and warranty documentation. The estimator notices the drywall is a textured paint over old paper — needs cement backer board behind the range to handle the heat. He pulls up the signed contract on his phone in Contract Attachments, confirms backer board is included in the Premium tier, and the lead installer sets HardieBacker over thinset with ring-shank nails. Cam captures the backer board install. By 10:30 AM the wall is prepped and the herringbone layout chalk-line is snapped. Meanwhile Crew B at the production-builder site has already finished one kitchen — Standard subway, 22 square feet, $760, two-hour install — and is loading for the next house.
The owner takes a consultation across town. New homeowner with a fully renovated kitchen in 2019, but the original builder-grade 3×6 subway is now too plain for the new soft-close cabinets and quartz waterfall island she just added. Before driving over, she measured the wall using MapMeasure Pro and Property Street View: 28 square feet of backsplash, including a 6-foot island return. On site he builds three tiers in Options Estimates: Standard ceramic 3×6 in a refreshed color at $9.50/sq ft = $266, Upgraded handmade ceramic with imperfect edges at $18/sq ft = $504, Premium marble herringbone with brass schluter edge at $32/sq ft = $896. AI Before/After renders the existing kitchen with each tier — the homeowner sees her own kitchen with the marble herringbone in 12 seconds and signs the Premium estimate via e-signature on the spot. Deposit collected via Online Payments: $448 (50% deposit) on her phone before he leaves the driveway.
The owner’s phone buzzes — interior designer Lauren from a Carmel-based firm is texting in ClientHub. Her client just signed a $42,000 kitchen renovation with a tile budget she had pegged at $2,400, but the homeowner saw a magazine spread and now wants to upgrade to large-format porcelain slab on the range wall — full-height, 32 square feet at $42/sq ft custom = $1,344 — with a coordinated 18-square-foot zellige bar wall at $32/sq ft = $576. Total revised tile package: $1,920 plus the original ceramic for the perimeter at $342, ringing in at $2,262 — only $138 off the original budget but with a project value bump that adds $510 to the designer’s invoice and a portfolio piece for both companies. The owner builds the revised Options Estimate with line items for slab cutout (range hood, outlets, schluter), runs Business Calculators to confirm the slab job hits a 52% gross margin against a $2,200 contract, and sends the proposal back through ClientHub by 2:15 PM. Lauren signs by 4 PM. Pipelines CRM moves the deal from “Designer Lead” to “Won” — Lauren’s pipeline now shows 8 confirmed projects this year at an average of $2,400 = $19,200 in tracked designer revenue from one referral source.
Crew A finishes the herringbone set at the Hutchinson home. QuoteIQ Cam captures the finished set, the grout-ready state, and the sealed and cured walk-through (scheduled for tomorrow morning before the homeowner gets home from work). Lead installer logs the day in Time Tracker Pro: two installers, 8.5 hours each, $26/hr loaded labor cost = $442. Job Costing shows the full line: $1,820 contract value · $612 zellige material (11 boxes at $55.60/box) · $98 thinset and grout · $44 backer board and fasteners · $442 labor · $36 fuel and route allocation = $1,232 total cost. Gross margin: $588 or 32.3%. The owner sees this in Business Analytics the moment Time Tracker syncs — and notes that Premium tier zellige jobs are landing 8 points below his target 40% margin because zellige cuts are slower (handmade tile, irregular sizes) than standard porcelain. He flags the issue in Team Communication: next quarter, Premium zellige labor rate moves from $40/sq ft to $46/sq ft.
Two production-builder kitchens cleared this morning by Crew B trigger automated Review Multiplier requests as the grout cures — both homeowners get a personalized text Monday morning with before/after photos pulled from AI Before/After, asking for a Google review. Owner pulls up Business Analytics for the week: 11 backsplash projects completed, $14,840 collected, $5,920 gross margin (39.9%), 6 active designer relationships in Pipelines, 2 builder accounts cycling 18 homes/quarter, lifetime Google reviews up to 187 (8 added this month), and the Hutchinson zellige photo set is queued for the Pinterest and Houzz upload. SMS Campaigns queues a Tuesday “spring kitchen refresh” promo to past homeowners 4+ years out from their last backsplash. Tomorrow’s sealed and cured walk-through at the Hutchinson home will trigger the final 50% draw and another Review Multiplier fire — and Lauren the designer is already routing a referral kitchen for next week’s consultation.
That entire day — from satellite-measured pre-quote at the Maple Lane consultation to a $896 Premium herringbone close to a $1,920 designer slab upsell to per-square-foot job costing on the Hutchinson zellige to triggered review requests on the production-builder kitchens — runs on one platform. QuoteIQ. No backsplash spreadsheet. No CompanyCam subscription. No second phone line. One CRM for backsplash installation companies, built by working contractors, that handles the tile, the pipeline, the photo, the margin, and the review on a single login.
“Same day. Not tomorrow morning — same day. Whoever sends a clear, specific estimate first is the one the customer starts comparing everyone else to. That’s a psychological anchor, and it’s real.”

Most field service software was built for one-truck pressure washing or replacement-cycle HVAC. Backsplash installers don’t fit that mold — the trade needs tiered tile pricing, lot inventory, satellite kitchen measurement, and designer pipelines that generic platforms can’t natively handle. Here’s how QuoteIQ stacks up against the three platforms most backsplash companies evaluate before signing.
| Feature | QuoteIQ | Jobber | Housecall Pro | ServiceTitan |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tiered per-sq-ft tile pricing | ✅ Native | ⚠️ Beta (desktop only) | ⚠️ Add-on or MAX only | ✅ Native |
| Satellite kitchen measurement | ✅ Native (MapMeasure Pro) | ❌ GoiLawn add-on $67–255/mo | ❌ GoiLawn add-on $67–255/mo | ⚠️ Limited |

| Real monthly price (full feature match) | $149.99/mo (Pro) | $448+/mo | $750+/mo | $1,800+/mo |
QuoteIQ Pro at $149.99/month delivers what Jobber Grow plus add-ons costs $448+/month to assemble, what Housecall Pro Essentials with photo and review add-ons costs $750+/month to deliver, and what ServiceTitan charges $1,800+/month for on a 12-month contract. That’s $3,576 to $19,800 in annual software savings — capital that funds another install van, a second saw setup, or a marketing campaign that pulls in 30 more designer-referred kitchens. Beyond price, the gap that matters most for backsplash installers is the native combination of MapMeasure Pro, AI Before/After, lot-tracked tile inventory, and Pipelines CRM in a single login — every other platform assembles those features through a stack of third-party subscriptions that double the monthly cost and triple the failure points.
Backsplash work has two crew profiles that look almost nothing alike on a job site. The premium herringbone, marble, and zellige work needs a slow hand and a perfectionist’s eye for layout. The production-builder ceramic subway work needs speed, repeatability, and a crew that can clear three kitchens in one day. EmployeeHub manages both with role-based permissions, time tracking, and per-crew job assignment.
Two-person crew running zellige, marble herringbone, large-format porcelain slab, and full-height designer specifications. Lead installer at $32/hour loaded, second installer at $24/hour. Average ticket $1,800–$4,200, average install time 1.5–3 days per kitchen. Crew A pulls higher pay because the layout work, schluter cuts, and grout-color matching require the patience and the eye that production crews don’t develop. QuoteIQ Cam documentation is double on these jobs because the photos drive the next 10 designer referrals.
Two-person crew running standard ceramic subway, simple porcelain, and basic glass mosaic on production-builder accounts and bread-and-butter homeowner kitchens. Lead at $26/hour, helper at $18/hour. Average ticket $760–$1,400, average install time 4–6 hours per kitchen. Crew B clears 2–3 kitchens a day on builder accounts and turns 8–12 jobs a week in volume season. Route Density clusters the day’s stops so windshield time stays under 10% of billable hours.
Estimator handles homeowner consultations, designer site visits, builder account check-ins, and the proposal-to-close pipeline. EmployeeHub Manager role gives him access to Pipelines CRM across all four channels, Business Analytics for close rate tracking, and Options Estimates for tier-based proposals — but he can’t see the per-employee labor rates or the W-2 backend. He sees what he needs to close, nothing more. Sales Tracker shows his close rate by tier — currently 71% on Standard, 58% on Upgraded, 47% on Premium — so the owner knows where to coach him.
A backsplash company with two trucks and one estimator can clear $400,000 to $700,000 a year. The companies that hit those numbers don’t lean on one revenue channel — they build three. Pipelines CRM tracks each channel separately so the owner sees exactly where revenue comes from and where to invest the next marketing dollar.
Channel 1 — Direct homeowner kitchen leads. The bread and butter of every backsplash company. Local search, Google Business Profile, and Houzz drive the inbound. Average ticket $1,200 across all tiers. A two-truck operation closing 5 direct homeowner kitchens per week × 48 weeks × $1,200 = $288,000 annually. Review Multiplier compounds this channel — every closed kitchen triggers a review request with the AI Before/After photo embedded, and a backsplash business with 200 Google reviews ranks above competitors with 40 in every kitchen-related search query in the service area. National Association of Home Builders remodeling expenditure data shows kitchen tile spend is up year over year — the demand is there if you can rank for it.
Channel 2 — Kitchen remodeler and general contractor subcontract. Mid-volume kitchen remodelers do 12–25 kitchens a year and most of them sub the backsplash to a specialist instead of a generalist tile setter. Average ticket on remodeler-fed work is higher than direct ($1,800 versus $1,200) because remodeler clients self-select into Upgraded and Premium tiers. Three remodeler relationships at 18 kitchens/year × $1,800 = $97,200 annually. The trick is consistency — show up on time, document with QuoteIQ Cam, hit margin on the price the remodeler quoted his client, and the relationship pays for 5 years.
Channel 3 — Builder backsplash packages and interior designer specifications. One mid-size builder cycling 36 spec homes a year at $1,400 backsplash spec = $50,400 in baseline revenue. Add a single interior designer doing 6 high-end kitchens a year at $3,200 average tile package = $19,200. Two designer relationships and one builder account = $88,800 — predictable, recurring, and high-margin because the spec is locked in before you walk in. The catch is the relationship needs a system: ClientHub for designer texting, Pipelines CRM for builder spec home rotation, and Google Calendar Sync so designer appointment-setting happens without phone tag.
Combined: $288K + $97K + $89K = $474,000 in annual revenue with a two-truck crew, one estimator, and a real CRM for backsplash installation companies running the tile, the inventory, the photos, the proposals, and the pipelines from one login. The U.S. Small Business Administration notes that integrated operations software is consistently among the highest-ROI investments for trade contractors — and for backsplash specifically, the consolidation of pricing, photo, inventory, and pipeline into a single platform is what separates a 1-truck operator from a 5-figure-monthly operation.
“The feature with the clearest revenue impact is follow-up automation. These are conversations that never happen because the contractor doesn’t have time to initiate them manually. Every one of those touchpoints is a revenue opportunity.”

Every QuoteIQ plan ships with the full backsplash workflow stack — Standard Estimates, Options Estimates, Package Estimates, Quick Estimates, Scheduling, Invoicing, Online Payments, e-signatures, contract attachments, Job Costing, expense tracking, Inventory Tracking, EmployeeHub, Time Tracker Pro, GPS tracking, Team Communication, ClientHub texting, Review Multiplier, MapMeasure Pro, QuoteIQ Cam, AI Autopilot, AI Estimator, AI Text Generator, AI Image Generator, Virtual Call Team, Pipelines CRM, Sales Tracker, Business Analytics, Email Automation, 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, QuickBooks Integration, and AI Website Builder. No add-on subscriptions. No per-feature surcharges. One platform, one price, every tool a backsplash installer actually uses on a real workday.
All plans include a 14-day free trial. No contracts. Cancel anytime. Every plan ships with MapMeasure Pro, AI Before/After, the 24/7 Virtual Call Team, AI Autopilot voice control, QuoteIQ Cam, Pipelines CRM, Route Density, and Review Multiplier — no add-ons, no per-feature surcharges, no third-party integrations to assemble.
For most growing backsplash companies, the Pro plan at $149.99/month is the right starting point — four users covers the owner, the estimator, and two crew leads, and Pro unlocks ClientHub texting, per-job tile cost tracking, Pipelines CRM, automation, and QuickBooks Online sync. Multi-crew shops with a dedicated office manager and a sales rep usually move to Elite at $299/month for the seven-user limit. A single Pro subscription replaces what Jobber Grow plus CompanyCam plus a separate routing tool plus a separate AI receptionist would cost — usually $448 to $750/month assembled — saving $3,576 to $7,200 a year that goes back into a second tile saw, a marketing budget, or a third install van.
Compare that to Jobber at $448+/month for an equivalent feature set, Housecall Pro at $750+/month for the MAX-tier comparable build, or ServiceTitan at $1,800+/month on a 12-month contract — and the math gets simple. QuoteIQ ships every tool in the box, on a month-to-month plan, with a 14-day free trial that lets you build three real estimates, send three real proposals, close one real backsplash, and decide before you spend a dollar.
“From quoting to scheduling to measuring—every tool my service business needs.”
— Echevarria Roney · App Store · Verified ReviewQuoteIQ is purpose-built around the workflow backsplash installers actually run — tiered per-square-foot tile pricing through Options Estimates, satellite kitchen wall measurement through MapMeasure Pro, lot-number tile and grout inventory across the warehouse and the install van, AI Before/After previews that close Premium tier work, 4K phase documentation through QuoteIQ Cam, separate Kanban pipelines for designer, builder, remodeler, and direct homeowner channels, and a 24/7 AI Virtual Call Team that books consultations while you’re grouting. Generic field service software requires assembling 4–6 third-party subscriptions to match what QuoteIQ ships natively for $149.99/month.
Yes. QuoteIQ offers a 14-day free trial on all plans. No contracts. Cancel anytime. The trial is full-feature — every backsplash installer can build real Options Estimates with Standard, Upgraded, and Premium tile tiers, pre-measure real kitchens with MapMeasure Pro, render real AI Before/After previews, and process a real customer e-signature and online payment before the trial ends.
Options Estimates let backsplash installers present three tiers on a single proposal — Standard ceramic 3×6 subway at one per-square-foot rate, Upgraded handmade ceramic, glass mosaic, or porcelain at a higher rate, and Premium zellige, marble subway, large-format porcelain slab, or full-height custom tile at the top rate. Homeowners pick the tier that fits their kitchen and their budget instead of choosing between you and a cheaper bid. Backsplash companies running tiered Options report 30–50% higher average tickets compared to single-price flat estimates.
Yes. QuoteIQ Inventory Tracking handles tile by full attribute — SKU, manufacturer, color, lot number, box count, and current location across the warehouse, install vans, and active job sites. Lot-number tagging is the single most important inventory feature for tile work because cut pieces and warranty replacements need to come from the same dye lot, and ceramic, porcelain, and natural stone all run color and shade variation between lots.
Yes — through three combined features. AI Before/After previews render the homeowner’s existing kitchen with the proposed tile, in seconds, so the visual gets compared against memory not Pinterest. Options Estimates put Standard, Upgraded, and Premium tiers side by side on the proposal so the choice frame shifts from “yes or no” to “which tier.” Package Estimates bundle backsplash plus butler’s pantry plus bar wall into a single discounted package. Together these three features lift average ticket 30–50% on consultations that would otherwise have closed at the cheapest tier.
Pipelines CRM gives backsplash installers separate visual Kanban boards for direct homeowner kitchen leads, kitchen remodeler subcontract work, builder backsplash packages, and interior designer specifications. Each pipeline can have its own pricing, its own follow-up cadence, and its own conversion stages. ClientHub texting handles designer back-and-forth without phone tag, Google Calendar Sync schedules designer site visits without double-booking the install crew, and Sales Tracker reports close rate by channel so the owner knows where to invest the next marketing dollar.
Yes. MapMeasure Pro pulls property and structure outlines from satellite imagery and Property Street View shows the home’s age, style, and condition before driving to a consultation. Combined with cabinet-run estimates from the homeowner’s intake form, a backsplash installer can pre-quote 70% of typical residential kitchens before leaving the truck — saving 30–60 minutes per consultation and surfacing the obvious “no, your kitchen is 18 square feet not 38” reality check before the proposal goes out.
QuoteIQ Cam captures 4K timestamped photos at every install phase — pre-demo conditions, drywall and outlet prep, cement backer board or waterproofing membrane, thinset trowel pattern, tile set, grout cure, sealer application, and finished install. Photos are auto-tagged to the job record and stored alongside the contract, the proposal, and the final invoice — so when a homeowner calls in 18 months about a hairline grout crack near the range, the warranty conversation has every photo in one place.
Yes. QuoteIQ syncs natively with QuickBooks Online for invoicing, payment recording, expense categorization, and customer record matching. Every approved Options Estimate flows to QuickBooks as an invoice, every collected deposit and final payment posts as received, and every tile, thinset, grout, and sealer purchase logged in QuoteIQ Expense Tracking categorizes against the right job for accurate per-kitchen margin reporting.
QuoteIQ Pro at $149.99/month delivers what Jobber Grow plus CompanyCam plus add-ons would cost $448+/month to assemble, what Housecall Pro Essentials with Sales Proposal and review tools would cost $750+/month to deliver, and what ServiceTitan charges $1,800+/month for on a 12-month contract. Annual software savings range from $3,576 to $19,800. Elite is $299/month and Max is $699/month — both still less than the comparable Jobber or Housecall Pro stack.
