Fencing

You set posts and build fence. Your software should handle the rest.

Fencing work is straightforward — measure the property, price the materials, build it right. But the business side can get messy fast. Handwritten quotes on the tailgate, texts about pricing that disappear in your thread, payments you have to chase for weeks after the job is done.

Jobkore was built by a licensed contractor who needed something better. It handles estimates, invoices, and payments without the extra baggage. No project management suite, no scheduling tools, no features designed for businesses that do not look like yours. Just the tools that help you price work, close jobs, and get paid.

Estimates that show material versus labor

Fence clients want to understand what they are paying for. They want to see the cost of cedar versus vinyl, what the gates add, and how much is labor. A single lump number without a breakdown makes them wonder if they are getting a fair deal.

Jobkore lets you organize estimates into sections with line items, quantities, and rates. Break it out by fence run, list gates as separate items, and split material from labor. Whether you price by linear foot or by section, the client gets a clear, professional estimate — and you win more jobs because of it.

Change orders when the scope changes

The homeowner decides they want a double gate instead of a single. Or they add a side yard run that was not in the original walkthrough. Or you hit rock while digging post holes and need to adjust pricing. Those changes need to be documented and approved — not handled over a phone call.

Jobkore handles change orders as separate documents tied to the original estimate. The client sees the added scope, the price difference, and signs off before you do the work. When it is time to bill, the change order has its own invoice. Clean, documented, no arguments.

Hank AI turns your site notes into a ready estimate

After walking the property, you have measurements, photos of the grade, notes about existing fence removal, and a list of what the client wants — "200 feet of 6-foot cedar, privacy, two gates, tear out the old chain link." Hank AI reads all of it and organizes it into sections and line items. You review, add your pricing, and send.

For fence contractors who bid multiple properties a week, Hank gets the estimate out the same day as the walkthrough. That speed matters — the contractor who sends a professional estimate first usually wins the job.

Invoice the job and get paid online

Most fence jobs are a deposit and a balance on completion. Jobkore lets you create invoices tied to your estimate, bill a deposit upfront, and send the final invoice the day the job wraps. Your client gets a link to pay online by credit card or bank transfer.

No chasing checks. No "I will leave it under the mat." No Venmo back-and-forth. Stripe handles the processing at their standard rate — Jobkore charges zero additional fees on top.

Revenue this month, outstanding balances, overdue invoices, estimates waiting on approval — your dashboard shows all of it. You know exactly where your business stands without scrolling through texts or digging through a filing cabinet.
