Backed by Y Combinator · trusted by contractors nationwide
Jobber's quotes suit quick service jobs. Bolster is built for real construction bids — assemblies, on-screen takeoff, and AutoCost live pricing from 100M+ items — so a multi-line remodel or build is accurate in minutes.
For bigger jobs, the proposal closes the deal. Bolster turns the estimate into an interactive, client-ready proposal with optional items and good/better/best upgrades — the kind of bid presentation a service-ticket tool isn't built for.
Describe the project and Bolster's Construction Intelligence runs the whole flow — scope, estimate, takeoff and photoreal renderings like the one shown. Purpose-built for construction, not field-service dispatch.
Jobber is excellent for recurring home services. Bolster is built for construction bidding and builds.
