It was simple and effective. **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Samantha H. | Administrative Assistant, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 27, 2026 **What do you like best about Joist?** The most helpful thing about Joist was that it was simple to use and it allowed us to teach others how to use it fairly quickly as well. I also like how you can search every year and month on a sheet and it shows the clients that we serviced in that time, that is really helpful when we call clients to check back up on them a year later. **What do you dislike about Joist?** the least helpful thing I liked about joist was that it doesn't let you schedule jobs for employees. **What problems is Joist solving and how is that benefiting you?** It is solving the hassle of invoicing. It has helped us in the entire process, making it easier, faster and more organized which has then led to less errors. It helpes us keep organized and it allows us to worry about one less thing because we know that we have what we need recorded on every invoice and it all filled for us as well. ### 2. Joist Pros and Cons **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Douglas M. | Owner/Office Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 30, 2025 **What do you like best about Joist?** We would get notifications anytime anyone opened up an estimate or invoice (even if multiple times), if CC payment, we were paid the next business day, no matter the time the payment was made, we could enter change orders for signature, and the sync with Quickbooks Online worked well. It also offered financing through Acorn, so that was a plus. It was very user friendly. **What do you dislike about Joist?** It didn't have a marketing email tool or a way to ask for Google reviews after a job was completed. We had to do that manually. It also didn't have a way to job cost or let us have a way to track costs from each job. It was also getting more and more expensive to be lacking important functions. **What problems is Joist solving and how is that benefiting you?** I don't know. We stopped using it about 6 months ago. ### 3. Efficient Invoice Tool **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Karen Marie G. | L2 Associate, Real Estate, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 26, 2023 **What do you like best about Joist?** The most helpful in using Joist is that you can easily invoice our clients. I haven't had any errors as well when using this tool. Also, it's way faster, efficient and accurate when making an invoice. **What do you dislike about Joist?** As for the moment, it would be great if, when making an invoice, the tool can still detect the client recorded in our account, and it may not duplicate in the "My Clients" icon. **What problems is Joist solving and how is that benefiting you?** Joist is an efficient and accurate tool when creating an invoice for our clients. Navigating the tool is easy and if I would be having issues with the tool, we can still have the choice to communicate with the customer service. ### 4.

The only complaint I've had in recent years is the app not working great for some employees but we're always able to work around it using the computer. **What problems is Joist solving and how is that benefiting you?** Keeping track of individual line items and pricing which helps streamline our pricing from job to job. Also helpful keeping track of all estimates sent through various project managers at the company in one spot. ### 5.

My only suggestion would be to be able create a gift card portal where customers can purchase to gift. **What problems is Joist solving and how is that benefiting you?** Because it's accessible from a phone app, I'm able to create estimates quicker. ### 9. 7 Year All Star - Fan of the Joist Application and Community. Love the App! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Brian C. | Owner/Operator, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 10, 2021 **What do you like best about Joist?** I’ve been with joist since day 1. In July 2014, I gave them a shot upon receiving my California Roofing Contractor’s License. #1005829. In almost 7 years, I’ve never had a single issue. I’ve started over at invoice and estimate #1, once again. They take credit cards which is huge. Every client has paid my roofing company because we are always paid. We are paid on time. Joist doesn’t try to extort or threaten you. They want to help you! Recently , joist initiated a new credit card platform. I’ve used Pay Pal for years and it’s been up and down, recently on my personal selling account had a 20 long wait for $300 bucks. I was skeptical as hell when I first heard joist was taking on PayPal. I was furious and even thought about jumping ship. Imagine starting your own company, no loans , no debt you own a nice dump truck, a new Audi, no law suites, cash flow after cash flow. Other than locking down California, we’ve been doing roofs, siding, decking all day and everyday, 10 months outta the year in a heavy weather region. Next thing I know a loyal Client of mine emailed me and ask if I could do a small $7500 roof in Roseville Ca for him. “Here’s $7500- Thank you Brian”. No negotiations, Not bs or haggling, he’s a big time real estate investor that has approx 500 rental properties. Pay pal didn’t stutter at all! They sent a message stating I’d been paid that evening. “ You’ll be paid within a few hours” On that same night it was transferred to my account as I’d set it on automatic transfers. No extra charges nada. All credit card companies charge 2.9% minimum and mo charge an extra fee per transaction. That’s all they charged and boom, got it in my account fast and banged that roof out 2 days . That’s what I call “Rock-in and Rollin”, Faster than joists last system that was impeccably excellent! I gave it a shot and I’m good to go.love it! I do believe joist has grown into a contender in the application contractor business and I’ve written 1000-2000 plus estimates. One click they’d turned into invoices and emails go out. I’ve grown with joist. I’ve never gotten behind. I do all my invoices and I’m the only one in there because if I make a mistake, I’m accountable for my actions, however I hurt someone or hurt myself. Joist has everything I thin reach to conquer and keep your cash flow constant with joist, no matter which industry you are looking for..5 stars to Darcy Fitzpatrick! His confidence in his product and and his solution of telling me “They’re going to work close with PayPal and see to it that their payments are efficient and their customer service is effective. PayPal is into a new realm with proven businesses due to joists relationship. If PayPal try’s to strong arm joists clients, (yes joists clients not PayPal’s contractors), trust me, the folks at joist are committed to being #1 in estimates and invoices. I look forward to the day they exceed companies like quick books. I’ll be on the board of directors (lol jk) laughing all the way to Costa Rica and back by private jet. ...best app, best service not a single issue! Brian Clark DC Roofing & Waterproofing Systems INC 1005829 California’s Preferred Roofing & Waterproofing Contractor! “Our Clients Expectations are our reality” I believe joists objectives and goals are to that of my expectations.... “Began at Zero • Average 750,000- 1 million annually • 7 years.”. https://roofoverlay.com **What do you dislike about Joist?** Absolutely nothing. I’m a huge fan and probably the most effective user...well at least the most effective user I know :) **What problems is Joist solving and how is that benefiting you?** Problems? Being a. Roofing Contractor’s is a huge problem. Joist doesn’t add to my work load. They ease my evenings and long days of estimates. Btw I’ve never lost or misplaced a single estimate or invoice. ### 10. Joist has failed. Run. **Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Mike G. | Proprietor, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 02, 2021 **What do you like best about Joist?** Joist USED to be great, until they began making major platform changes WITHOUT first polling or notifiying users BEFOREHAND. I wake up two days ago and discover they have changes payment processors from the flawless WePay to the utterly incompetent and useless PayPal. No notice. No warning, not even a ‘hey we’re thinking of changing payment processors, who should we use? “ They have become so immune to feedback it’s embarrassing. Take your business elsewhere. I hear Wave is a great alternative. **What do you dislike about Joist?** They have become so immune to feedback it’s embarrassing. Take your business elsewhere. I hear Wave is a great alternative. **What problems is Joist solving and how is that benefiting you?** I am leaving their platform because they no longer solve any problem for me without me having to fork out far too much money for things like reports, that are included in every other invoicing provider. ### 11. Streamline Your Billing **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Brandon B. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 16, 2020 **What do you like best about Joist?** My favorite feature is being able to see when a customer has looked at an estimate or invoice you sent them. **What do you dislike about Joist?** I don't like that I can't search for estimates or invoices via line items or words in them. It makes it more time consuming to find an older estimate that I may need to pull up. **Recommendations to others considering Joist:** Try Joist for free before you or your company considers paying. **What problems is Joist solving and how is that benefiting you?** With Joist I am easily able to create and send estimates for clients. It has made my billing process more efficient and reduced the time to prepare an estimate. ### 12. App developer has become too greedy **Rating:** 1.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Construction | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 27, 2020 **What do you like best about Joist?** I can make estimates and generate invoices from it **What do you dislike about Joist?** After using the app for years and generate a lot of money in processing fees for them on a monthly basis one day out of the blue they removed my logo and other basic features requiring me to upgrade to be able yo have them again. Ridiculous with all the profits they make out of all the credit card volume America Refinishing Pros manages. **Recommendations to others considering Joist:** Look for other options since logo and other features are not offered for free anymore **What problems is Joist solving and how is that benefiting you?** They process the money really quick. In 24 to 48 hours the funds are in the America Refinishing Pros bank account ### 13. Respectable but Underdeveloped **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Nate N. | Owner, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 08, 2019 **What do you like best about Joist?** It's incredibly easy to use with a low learning curve. It organizes clients and contracts well enough and allows for multiple fields including logo, legal and just about everything else to be manipulated giving a decent amount of control to the user to customize estimates and contracts. It also is easy to use across multiple platforms. I have used it on all my devices including iOS, Andriod and PC with ease. Also, the fact that I can be notified when a client just opens the contract to view it does wonders for my business. It helps me plan strategy for my business much better. For example, if a client who said they were not interested in signing my contract, reviews it a month later, I can speculate they are reconsidering before they even contact me. **What do you dislike about Joist?** It's slightly underdeveloped. I would like to see more organizing features such as how clients or contracts can be organized or found, not just based on date or alphabetical order. Also, there is a 10 image limit allowed on the contract which is constraining. Finally, and most annoying, it does not allow for hyperlinks to be inserted. These last two issues are especially annoying for me because if I want to incorporate multiple photos into the contract, my best workaround is to attach a link to google photos album. Unfortunately, the text remains as text and does not convert into a hyperlink. **Recommendations to others considering Joist:** Very easy to use. You do not need a lot of computer knowledge nor training. A very desirable quality to many non-tech savvy individuals in the construction industry. **What problems is Joist solving and how is that benefiting you?** As stated earlier, it helps me stay organized with my clients, plan strategy for future contracts and comes at no cost to me as it mainly a free program. ### 14. Using joist has made things easier for me. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** John H. | Owner, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 04, 2019 **What do you like best about Joist?** One of the best things about using joist for me is the ease of keeping all my invoices in one place, and not having to find a place for paperwork. **What do you dislike about Joist?** I really have not found anything that I don't like about joist and I have been using it for over a year now. **What problems is Joist solving and how is that benefiting you?** I don't have to go meet in person to send quotes. I can just send it to client and they can sign and we can start work. This sometimes saves a couple days of back and forth when I can be working. ### 15. Great and fast invoicing system. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Betty k. | Civil Engineer, Construction, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 05, 2019 **What do you like best about Joist?** This platform it's simple, easy to use and also keep every record.

All while holding funds from your fully paid invoices! **Recommendations to others considering Joist:** Look Elsewhere! **What problems is Joist solving and how is that benefiting you?** Nice that it is phone based ### 17.
