Catch the request
Share one public request link or QR code. Customers describe the work, leave contact details, and the lead lands on your dashboard.
For every local trade & home-service pro
The field-service OS that keeps the job, the crew, and the truck in sync.
HometownLift Biz gives contractors the Jobber-style workflow customers expect: request links, estimates, schedules, invoices, and online card payment. Then it goes further with QR truck inventory, crew badges, and project boards for work that does not fit a neat calendar box.

Everything competitors teach buyers to expect, without losing the field details.
The baseline is now obvious: capture leads, send quotes, schedule the work, invoice, and take payment. HometownLift Biz covers that flow and adds the physical accountability small crews actually need.
Quote from the truck
Build a line-item estimate, send a clean approval link, and turn accepted work into the job without retyping.
Run the week
Schedule jobs, assign crew, keep customer details close, and move bigger projects through boards instead of side spreadsheets.
Get paid and accountable
Invoice with an online card-payment link, record every payment, then track field activity through QR truck inventory and crew badges.
Where HometownLift wins
Built for the parts of the job that are still in the truck, not just the office.
Truck-level inventory competitors bury or skip
QR kiosks let a crew count gear from the field, tied to the actual truck or shop location. That matters when saws, harnesses, ladders, and compressors move all day.
Crew badges instead of shared passwords
QR plus PIN identity gives field workers a fast way to sign actions without creating full software accounts for every helper.
Boards for jobs that take more than one visit
Roofing, remodels, painting, tree work, and concrete jobs rarely fit a single appointment. Boards keep phases, checklists, photos, and ownership visible.
Competitive read
Match the field-service checklist, then beat it on crew accountability.
Jobber, Housecall Pro, and Workiz set the category expectation. The way to beat them is not more menu items; it is a tighter shop system that includes the worksite, the truck, and the crew.

Common questions
The stuff every contractor asks before signing up.
Do I need a credit card to start?
No. Sign up with an email, set up your shop, and share your request link without entering a card. You add billing only when you pick a plan.
Do my customers need to download anything?
No. Estimates, invoices, and card payments all open from a link you text or email — no app, no login, no password for your customers.
Am I locked into a contract?
No. Plans are month-to-month and you can cancel anytime. Annual billing is there if you want two months free, not because we need a lock-in.
What happens to my leads if I'm on a roof all day?
The request link takes the customer's details for you and drops the lead on your dashboard, so the job doesn't depend on you answering the phone.
How is this different from Jobber or Housecall Pro?
Same core workflow — requests, quotes, scheduling, invoices, payments — at a flat shop price instead of per-user seats and add-ons. Plus the field layer they skip: QR truck inventory, crew badges, and project boards.
Who's behind this
Built by one builder who answers the email.
HometownLift Biz is built and run by a small independent shop — not a venture-fueled sales machine. That's why the pricing is flat and public, why there's no sales call, and why support means emailing the person who wrote the code: hello@hometownlift.com.
