What do you like best about Joist?

The most helpful in using Joist is that you can easily invoice our clients. I haven't had any errors as well when using this tool. Also, it's way faster, efficient and accurate when making an invoice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Joist?

As for the moment, it would be great if, when making an invoice, the tool can still detect the client recorded in our account, and it may not duplicate in the "My Clients" icon. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Joist solving and how is that benefiting you?

Joist is an efficient and accurate tool when creating an invoice for our clients. Navigating the tool is easy and if I would be having issues with the tool, we can still have the choice to communicate with the customer service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very easy to navigate and create custom invoices and estimates; easy to keep a database of clients & customers; easy to keep a rolling list of items and set pricing on each line item. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Joist?

Honestly, there isn't much I don't like or that doesn't work very well with Joist. The only complaint I've had in recent years is the app not working great for some employees but we're always able to work around it using the computer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Joist solving and how is that benefiting you?

Keeping track of individual line items and pricing which helps streamline our pricing from job to job. Also helpful keeping track of all estimates sent through various project managers at the company in one spot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Joist?

I’ve been with joist since day 1. In July 2014, I gave them a shot upon receiving my California Roofing Contractor’s License. #1005829. In almost 7 years, I’ve never had a single issue. I’ve started over at invoice and estimate #1, once again. They take credit cards which is huge. Every client has paid my roofing company because we are always paid. We are paid on time.

Joist doesn’t try to extort or threaten you. They want to help you!

Recently , joist initiated a new credit card platform. I’ve used Pay Pal for years and it’s been up and down, recently on my personal selling account had a 20 long wait for $300 bucks. I was skeptical as hell when I first heard joist was taking on PayPal.

I was furious and even thought about jumping ship. Imagine starting your own company, no loans , no debt you own a nice dump truck, a new Audi, no law suites, cash flow after cash flow. Other than locking down California, we’ve been doing roofs, siding, decking all day and everyday, 10 months outta the year in a heavy weather region.

Next thing I know a loyal Client of mine emailed me and ask if I could do a small $7500 roof in Roseville Ca for him. “Here’s $7500- Thank you Brian”. No negotiations, Not bs or haggling, he’s a big time real estate investor that has approx 500 rental properties. Pay pal didn’t stutter at all! They sent a message stating I’d been paid that evening. “ You’ll be paid within a few hours” On that same night it was transferred to my account as I’d set it on automatic transfers. No extra charges nada.

All credit card companies charge 2.9% minimum and mo charge an extra fee per transaction. That’s all they charged and boom, got it in my account fast and banged that roof out 2 days . That’s what I call “Rock-in and Rollin”, Faster than joists last system that was impeccably excellent! I gave it a shot and I’m good to go.love it! I do believe joist has grown into a contender in the application contractor business and I’ve written 1000-2000 plus estimates. One click they’d turned into invoices and emails go out. I’ve grown with joist. I’ve never gotten behind. I do all my invoices and I’m the only one in there because if I make a mistake, I’m accountable for my actions, however I hurt someone or hurt myself. Joist has everything I thin reach to conquer and keep your cash flow constant with joist, no matter which industry you are looking for..5 stars to Darcy Fitzpatrick!

His confidence in his product and and his solution of telling me “They’re going to work close with PayPal and see to it that their payments are efficient and their customer service is effective. PayPal is into a new realm with proven businesses due to joists relationship. If PayPal try’s to strong arm joists clients, (yes joists clients not PayPal’s contractors), trust me, the folks at joist are committed to being #1 in estimates and invoices. I look forward to the day they exceed companies like quick books. I’ll be on the board of directors (lol jk) laughing all the way to Costa Rica and back by private jet. ...best app, best service not a single issue!

Absolutely nothing. I’m a huge fan and probably the most effective user...well at least the most effective user I know :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Joist solving and how is that benefiting you?

Problems? Being a. Roofing Contractor’s is a huge problem. Joist doesn’t add to my work load. They ease my evenings and long days of estimates. Btw I’ve never lost or misplaced a single estimate or invoice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Joist?

Joist USED to be great, until they began making major platform changes WITHOUT first polling or notifiying users BEFOREHAND. I wake up two days ago and discover they have changes payment processors from the flawless WePay to the utterly incompetent and useless PayPal. No notice. No warning, not even a ‘hey we’re thinking of changing payment processors, who should we use? “ They have become so immune to feedback it’s embarrassing. Take your business elsewhere. I hear Wave is a great alternative. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Joist solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am leaving their platform because they no longer solve any problem for me without me having to fork out far too much money for things like reports, that are included in every other invoicing provider. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Joist?

My favorite feature is being able to see when a customer has looked at an estimate or invoice you sent them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Joist?

I don't like that I can't search for estimates or invoices via line items or words in them. It makes it more time consuming to find an older estimate that I may need to pull up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Joist:

Try Joist for free before you or your company considers paying. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Joist?

I can make estimates and generate invoices from it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Joist?

After using the app for years and generate a lot of money in processing fees for them on a monthly basis one day out of the blue they removed my logo and other basic features requiring me to upgrade to be able yo have them again. Ridiculous with all the profits they make out of all the credit card volume America Refinishing Pros manages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Joist:

Look for other options since logo and other features are not offered for free anymore Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Joist solving and how is that benefiting you?

They process the money really quick. In 24 to 48 hours the funds are in the America Refinishing Pros bank account Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
