Insulation

Different insulation types, different pricing. Your estimates should show that.

Insulation is not one-size-fits-all. Spray foam costs more than blown-in cellulose. Closed-cell is a different price than open-cell. Rigid board in a crawlspace is a different scope than batts in an attic. Every job has different materials, different R-value targets, and different labor — and the homeowner or builder needs to see exactly what they are getting.

Jobkore was built by a licensed contractor who understands trade-specific estimating. Not a generic invoicing app that makes you cram everything into one line. Just estimates, invoices, and payments — built for contractors who price by area, material type, and R-value.

Estimate by area, R-value, and material type

An insulation estimate needs to be clear about what is going where. The attic gets blown-in cellulose to R-49. The rim joists get closed-cell spray foam to R-21. The basement walls get rigid board. Jobkore lets you organize estimates into sections with line items, square footage, R-values, and unit pricing so the client or builder sees the full scope at a glance.

When you break the estimate down by area and material — attic in one section, walls in another, crawlspace in a third — there is no confusion about what is included. The client understands why spray foam costs more than batts, and you are not fielding calls asking what was in the price.

Invoice for new construction and retrofit work

Insulation work comes in two flavors — new construction and energy retrofits — and they bill differently. New construction is often one invoice to the builder at rough-in. Retrofits might involve a deposit, a progress payment, and a final after the blower door test. Jobkore lets you create multiple invoices against the same estimate to match however the job pays out.

For retrofit customers applying for energy rebates or tax credits, having a detailed, professional invoice that shows material types, R-values, and square footage makes the rebate process easier for everyone. Your invoice does double duty as documentation.

Hank AI builds the estimate from your measurements

You just walked an attic, a crawlspace, and a garage. You have measurements on your phone, photos of the existing insulation (or lack of it), and notes about what the homeowner wants. Hank AI takes all of that and organizes it into structured estimate sections by area and material type. You review, add your pricing, and send.

For insulation contractors bidding multiple jobs a week — especially during retrofit season — Hank means you are not spending your evenings building estimates from scratch. The structure is done. You just add the numbers.

Collect payments online, no extra fees

Whether it is a builder paying net-30 or a homeowner paying on completion, Jobkore lets you send invoices with a payment link. Your clients pay by credit card or bank transfer from the link you send. No checks to chase. No "I forgot, remind me next week."

Stripe handles payment processing at their standard rate — Jobkore charges zero additional fees on top. You keep more of what you earn, and the client gets a simple, professional payment experience.

Your whole business in one dashboard

Revenue this month, outstanding balances, overdue invoices, estimates waiting for approval — all in one place. Whether you are running a two-man crew or a fleet of spray rigs, you know exactly where your business stands without digging through email or spreadsheets.
