Work directly with Wes.
I’ve spent years in business operations, real estate and renovation finding where work gets stuck and making it simpler.
Now I help small trades improve the customer side of the business, from the first call or text through quotes, scheduling, payments and follow-up.
One example setup.
See one possible setup in action.
This fictional contractor example shows one way the customer side can work together. Some businesses need a new website. Others only need help with calls, Google, quotes, payments or follow-up.
What does it cost?
Fix one thing or get the whole setup handled. You only pay for what your business actually needs.
No required monthly Pro Setup fee. When paid third-party tools are needed, most solo-pro setups are about $15–$35/month, plus normal domain and payment-processing costs. You’ll see every ongoing cost before work starts.
Not sure what you actually need?
Start with a Free First Look. I’ll show you what’s worth fixing, what can stay, and what it would cost.
You may not need a big software system.
If you’re running solo or with a small team and don’t need dispatch, GPS, job costing or multiple crews, a simpler setup may give you everything you actually need.
| Comparison topic | The Pro Setup Best for solo & small trades | All-in-One Software Jobber + Housecall Pro | Do It Yourself |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cost | One-time setup. Most solo pros spend about $15–$35/month on third-party tools afterward. | Ongoing subscription. Jobber’s solo plans run about $29–$149/month; Housecall Pro runs about $59–$299/month with annual billing. Phone, AI and other features can cost extra. | Lowest upfront cost, but you spend your own time choosing, setting up and maintaining everything. |
| Setup | Wes sets it up. You learn only what you actually use. | You configure and learn a system designed to manage much more of the business. | You research, choose and configure everything yourself. |
| Calls & texts | Business phone, voicemail, texting + automatic replies to missed calls, texts and voicemails. | Comparable communication costs more. Jobber requires Grow for two-way SMS/custom automations; Housecall Pro requires its paid Voice add-on for business phone + missed-call automation. | You choose and configure the phone, texting and automations yourself. |
| Quotes & payments | Professional quotes + flexible ways to get paid in person or remotely without another monthly software fee. | Strong tools, but they’re tied to the larger paid software system. | You choose and connect the quoting and payment tools yourself. |
| Website, Google & reviews | Your actual web presence gets fixed. Keep what’s good, clean up Google, improve or build the website, and set up reviews. | Website and review tools are available, but the software is primarily built to manage jobs and field operations. | You build, optimize and maintain everything yourself. |
| Scheduling & crews | Simple calendar + reminder setup. I show you how to handle multi-day and recurring jobs; you control your schedule. Not designed for dispatch, routing, GPS or crew management. | Clear winner for complex scheduling. Built for dispatch, crews, routing, GPS, job costing and broader field operations. | You choose the tools and figure out the calendar, reminders and follow-up yourself. |

Scheduling & crews
Running solo or with a small team? If you mainly need calls, texts, quotes, a simple job calendar, payments, reviews, Google and a website, The Pro Setup is the simpler fit. Need crews, dispatch, GPS or job costing? An all-in-one system makes more sense.
Competitor pricing checked August 2026 on the official Jobber and Housecall Pro pricing pages. Pricing, promotions, team limits, and add-ons can change.
Questions owners usually ask first.
Is this just a website service?
No. A website may be part of the fix, but The Pro Setup can also help with calls, texts, Google, quotes, a simple job calendar and reminders, payments, reviews and follow-up. You can explore an example contractor setup, but many businesses do not need a full website rebuild.
Do I have to figure out the software myself?
No. I recommend what makes sense, handle the setup and testing, and show you the few things you’ll actually use.
Are there monthly software costs?
Sometimes. Most solo-pro setups are about $15–$35/month in third-party tools, plus normal domain and payment-processing costs. There is no required monthly Pro Setup fee, and you’ll see every ongoing cost first.
Do I have to pay the full amount upfront?
Smaller jobs are usually paid before I start. Larger projects can be split into payments when it makes sense. You’ll see the full project price and payment terms before any work begins.
