Roll Call! Meet & introduce yourself to other Cleaning and Property Maintenance pros

If you’ve ever thought, “How are other businesses like mine handling this?” you’re in the right place!

This space is for Cleaning and Property Maintenance industry pros to connect, compare notes, and talk shop with others who understand the day-to-day realities of running your type of business.

👋 Introduce Yourself

Drop a comment and tell us:

  • Your name
  • Business name
  • Industry
  • Years in business
  • Location (City/State/Province)
  • Let us know if you’re joining us for LIVE networking on March 17 (more details below)

The more context you share, the better connections you’ll make. 🙌

Pro tip: Search your city or state in the forum to easily find other pros in your area.

📅 Want to connect LIVE?

We’re running a pilot to host virtual weekly LIVE Industry Networking starting on March 17, running until April 7. If you’d be interested in joining for the first or following sessions (don’t need to commit to all but you're welcome to join!), make sure to let us know in the comments.

🤝 Culture of this space

Think of this forum board like a room full of peers who understand your world.

Share what’s working. Ask real questions. Talk through challenges.

The goal is to power your success and raise the standard of home service industries together.

💬 Looking for conversation starters?

This space works best when conversations are industry-specific and experience-based. You might jump in with something like:

  • “How are other [industry] pros pricing this service right now?”
  • “Is anyone else seeing this shift in their market?”
  • “What’s been working for you when it comes to ____?"
🤔 Why are industries grouped together? 

We’ve intentionally clustered similar industries to keep conversations active and relevant. These groupings reflect shared business models, operational challenges, and pricing conversations so you can learn from peers who “get it,” even if they’re not in your exact trade.

If your question applies to all home service businesses, feel free to post in our broader forum boards.

Pro tip: Check out the industry tags to get even more specific

Looking forward to seeing this space come to life. 🚀

    would love to join the networking event! What time will it be?

    I haven't met any other professional organizers using Jobber, but love connecting and feeling inspired by other industries (like cleaning, power washing, etc.). I'm curious to know if anyone is using Claude Cowork or anything of the like to help with automating things in their business!

      Sarah, 

       

      I would love to connect. I run a very similar company, The Moving Genie, in Toronto, Canada, and would be happy to chat about how I use Jobber, and would love to know more about how you're using Claude.

       Welcome to the community, Kathy! 

      Thanks for taking the time to introduce yourself. It sounds like there are a lot of exciting things happening this year for your business. 
      I sent you an email inviting you to our networking event happening on March 24. We hope to see you there 👋


  • Hi all,

    Regina here, I run Blanco Group in Sydney – we do cleaning, maintenance, and short-term rental turnovers. Our business has grown fast. Excited about what I can scale to with Jobber. 
    I am looking for specific help to set up best practices, reduce friction to integrate Jobber + Xero + Zapier properly (zapier is just an option), I do use Xero, Google and Jobber, but very early days and all is manual.

    I’d really appreciate advice, tips, or anyone who’s done this for a similar business!
    Message me here or on my email pelase regina@blancogroup.au

We have been in business now going on 4 years. I always sign up for the live networking but something always comes up. Is it possible to have these events recorded so that we can re-watch them?
