Roll Call! Meet & introduce yourself to other Construction and Home Improvement pros

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

This space is for Construction and Home Improvement 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. 🚀

    Hello, my name is Dave Ogle, Own a Roof Maxx Dealership in Dayton, Ohio area.  We do roof treatments on asphalt shingles that qualify to extend the life of you roof at a fraction of the cost of a new roof.

    I just bought the dealership a few months ago... I have been in the construction / wholesale nursery/ landscape industry all my life.  Over thirty years in the industries.

    I am interested in knowing more about LIVE networking

    My interest in this community started today!  I discovered Jobber when i was looking at a landscape business for sale.  Currently, My Roof Maxx business does not use jobber but i am curious to know if anyone uses Jobber for customer contact management such as Client Tether.  Does Jobber integrate with QuickBooks?  Social media platforms? I am interested in how you are using Jobber to make you business flow better.

    Thank You!

    Dave Ogle

      Hey Dave 👋  Thanks for taking the time to introduce yourself. 
      It's awesome to see members from all different backgrounds and years of experience. 
      I send you an email about our upcoming networking event, we hope to see you there!

      Jobber integrates with Quickbooks (you can read about the integration here
      It does not integrate with social media platforms like Instagram, Facebook, etc. 
      Jobber has a page here that covers how its software can support roofing businesses like yours! 

      For better visibility, I recommend starting a post in our Using Jobber - Customer Management board to ask your question about customer contact management.
