← Soffit and Fascia Bid Calculator
This calculator vs. Jobber
Two different shapes: Jobber is account-based field-service software for running a home-service business across clients, scheduling, and crews. This page is a free, private worksheet for one question — what should this soffit-and-fascia job cost, given its eave footage, wrap-versus-replace scope, and story access, before you quote it.
What each tool is for
Jobber is field-service management software founded in 2011 and headquartered in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, used by home-service businesses across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, lawn care, and cleaning trades. It combines client management, quoting, scheduling, invoicing, and payment collection into one subscription system meant to run a whole business across every job and every crew, and it says it serves over 200,000 users. It is sold as an ongoing subscription account. Jobber's own pricing page is not reachable from this session to confirm today's exact plan names or dollar figures, so no price for it is invented here: only its well-documented identity and category — home-service field-service management software, sold as a subscription account — are stated, and no dollar amount for Jobber appears on this page.
This calculator does none of what Jobber does. It does not manage clients, schedule crews, send invoices, or collect payments, and it stores no customer or job record on a server. It takes the eave lineal feet, aluminum wrap versus vinyl tear-off replace versus new wood replace, 1-story versus 2-story pump-jack versus 3-story scaffolding access, solid versus vented versus hidden-vent soffit, and rot and gutter-detach extras, plus loaded wage, overhead, and target margin, and turns that into the walk-away price below which the job loses money, a same-eave three-scope comparison table, and a copyable customer-facing bid summary — plus a printable customer proposal with scope lines and a signature block. It runs free in any browser, keeps no account, and uploads nothing you type.
| Question | Where to answer it |
|---|---|
| I run a soffit-and-fascia business and need client management, quoting, scheduling, invoicing, and payments in one system across every crew and every job. | Jobber, or a comparable field-service platform — running a whole business is not something this calculator does. |
| What should I charge for this job, given its eave footage and scope? | This calculator — free, instant, private, no account. |
| How much does a wood replace with rot repair actually add over a wrap-over-existing special? | This calculator's "Same eave, three scopes" comparison, not a blended per-foot rate. |
| Is the price I'm about to quote still above my walk-away cost for this job? | This calculator's walk-away price check. |
| I need one shared account so my whole crew is scheduling, invoicing, and collecting payment the same way. | Jobber, or a comparable field-service platform. |
| How does the math behind a soffit-and-fascia bid actually work? | This calculator's own pricing walkthrough. |
| Do I need to create an account or sign up to use the tool? | This calculator: no. Jobber is used through a subscription account. |
Most soffit-and-fascia contractors get different value from each: Jobber (or a comparable field-service platform) for running client management, scheduling, invoicing, and payments across a whole business as an ongoing subscription, and a private calculator like this one for an instant, no-login answer to what one job should cost from its eave footage and access before a business system is involved. This page's own figures are a pricing model, not a scheduled job, an invoice, or a signed proposal, and neither this calculator nor Jobber is a roofing, siding, or building-code opinion.
This tool needs no account and no sign-in: it is a static page, the arithmetic runs in your browser, and once it has loaded it keeps working with the connection off.
Common questions
Should I use this calculator or Jobber?
They do different jobs, and a soffit-and-fascia contractor of any size will likely end up touching both eventually. Jobber is field-service management software founded in 2011 and headquartered in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, used by home-service businesses across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, lawn care, and cleaning trades. It combines client management, quoting, scheduling, invoicing, and payment collection into one subscription system, and it says it serves over 200,000 users. It is sold as an ongoing subscription account. Jobber's own pricing page is not reachable from this session to confirm today's exact plan names or dollar figures, so no price for it is invented here: only its well-documented identity and category — home-service field-service management software, sold as a subscription account — are stated, and no dollar amount for Jobber appears on this page. This calculator does one narrower thing: starting from eave lineal feet, wrap versus vinyl-replace versus wood-replace scope, 1-story versus 2-story versus 3-story access, soffit type, and rot and gutter-detach extras, plus loaded wage, overhead, and target margin, it turns that into the walk-away price and where the bid's cost is actually coming from, plus a printable customer proposal — before any of it touches a business-management system. It runs free in any browser, keeps no account, and uploads nothing you type. A soffit-and-fascia contractor who already manages clients, scheduling, invoicing, and payments across every job and every crew is better served by Jobber or a comparable field-service platform; a contractor who wants an instant, private answer to what one job should cost from its eave footage and access before opening a business system is in the right place here.
