Frequently Asked Questions

What's the best CRM for a retail-only roofer?

AccuLynx or JobNimbus — which should I pick?

Storm/insurance roofers at $2M+: AccuLynx narrowly. Mixed retail + storm or pure roofing under $2M: JobNimbus typically wins on price (20-40% cheaper) and mobile UX.

Google LSA: $35-$120 (best ROI). Storm canvassing: $50-$150 in labor. HomeAdvisor/Angi: $40-$120 but split with 3-5 competitors. Local SEO: $0-$25 long-term but takes 6-18 months.
