Best Contractors Software


What is the best Roofing/General Contractors Software for customer database,jobcosting,payroll,etc. I'm trying to learn the contractors quickbook edition, but don't seem to really like its estimate and invoicing features. Is there any recommended software out there for Roofing/General Contractors that is better than quickbooks.

Re: Best Contractors Software


I am currently using Quickbooks Contractor for my customer, job costing, and payroll. Then use EasyEst for my estimating. It will transport your estimate right into quickbooks where you can use the invoicing and job costing features.
I agree with you though - the estimating features of Quickbooks are fairly limited unless you always do exactly the same thing on every job.
