Every question, one page.

FAQ

General questions

Trial, pricing, security, and the big picture.

Yes — 14 days, no credit card required. You get full access to every feature (no locked tiers, no trial limitations) so you can evaluate the product with real project data.

By trade

Answers for your line of work

Every trade runs a little differently. These sections pull the questions we get from each segment in detail.

FAQ

Roofers

Insurance documentation, suppliers, progress billing, and more.

You can upload inspection photos, scope-of-work PDFs, and any claim-related documents directly to a project. Everything stays organized by project so you can pull the full file whenever you need it. Clients and homeowners can access project documents through the secure client portal link; there's no adjuster-specific workflow or integration with claim estimating software today.

FAQ

General contractors

Subs, change orders, retention, RFIs, and integrations.

Yes for the expense + payment tracking side — every vendor bill (subcontractor invoice) lives on the vendor record with paid/unpaid status, bill numbers, and attached receipts. We don't generate 1099 forms or file them for you; that's an accounting-platform job, and Breche's data exports cleanly for use with QuickBooks or your accountant.

FAQ

Remodelers

Selections, change orders, allowances, and the client portal.

Selections are their own signable document. You build a sheet of titled sections (Kitchen, Master Bath), each holding the items the customer decides on and the priced options they choose between — with photos, so they can see what they are picking. Send it and the customer picks and signs on an interactive page; signing files a signed PDF, marks each selection approved with its chosen option, and emails everyone a copy. Each selection can carry an internal allowance, and an over-allowance pick offers a one-click change order.

FAQ

HVAC contractors

Service contracts, equipment tracking, dispatch, and auto-invoicing.

Yes. Each service contract has a billing cadence (weekly, monthly, quarterly, annually) and billing type (flat recurring or per-visit). When a cycle comes due, Breche generates the invoice automatically, emails it through your company's branded email flow, and tracks paid/unpaid status — no manual creation per visit.

FAQ

Landscapers

Route optimization, recurring billing, winter pause, and mixed workloads.

Yes. Breche has interactive maps with multi-stop route planning and driving directions for field crews. You can plan a crew's day visually, drag stops to reorder, and see total drive time. Automated 'optimal order' is based on a shortest-path heuristic; complex constraint-based optimization (time windows, equipment availability) is a future enhancement.

FAQ

Kitchen & bath remodelers

Tiered options, allowances, selections, and progress payments.

Yes. Breche proposals can include multiple option tiers, each priced from its own estimate. The client compares tiers side by side in the client portal and e-signs the one they choose — no re-quoting when they upgrade.

FAQ

Home builders

Base-plus-upgrade proposals, draw billing, subs, and punch lists.

Yes. Attach multiple estimates to a single proposal — the base home plus upgrade packages like a gourmet kitchen or finished basement. The buyer compares options and e-signs their combination in one document. It works for spec option sheets and custom builds alike.

FAQ

Plumbing contractors

Flat-rate pricing, dispatch, service agreements, and field invoicing.

Yes — that mix is exactly what Breche is built for. Service calls run through the dispatch board and get invoiced on-site from the mobile app, while repipes and remodels use multi-section estimates, progress invoicing, and signed change orders. Both live in the same CRM, so one customer's water heater call and their bathroom remodel share one history.

FAQ

Electrical contractors

Option proposals, permits, job costing, and service-plus-bid work.

Yes. Service calls run through the dispatch board and get invoiced from the mobile app, while fixed-bid projects like panel upgrades, EV charger installs, and generator installs get multi-section estimates, option-based proposals, job costing, and progress invoicing — all in one CRM.

FAQ

Solar installers

System options, site surveys, permits, inspections, and PTO.

Yes. A Breche proposal can include multiple options — for example an 8-panel starter, a 12-panel full-offset array, and a battery add-on — each priced from its own estimate. The homeowner compares them in the client portal and e-signs the option they choose.

FAQ

Restoration contractors

Claim documentation, adjuster sharing, and mitigation-to-rebuild billing.

Field photos upload from the mobile app straight to the project, organized by area — kitchen, master bath, crawlspace — each with a timestamp. Pre-mitigation condition, drying progress, and completion photos stay in one organized record per claim instead of scattered across phones.

Comparisons

Switching from another tool

If you're evaluating Breche against AccuLynx, Jobber, or ServiceTitan, these answer the practical switching questions.

FAQ

AccuLynx users

Bringing data over, insurance work, roofing-only vs all-trade.

Yes. Breche has a CSV importer for contacts, leads, and line items. You can export your AccuLynx data to CSV and map the columns during import. If you get stuck, email us — we'll walk through it on a call. No professional services fee.

FAQ

Jobber users

Field-service vs construction fit, data migration, pricing reality.

If most of your revenue comes from multi-trade projects with detailed estimates, change orders, and progress billing, Breche is designed around that workflow. Jobber is strong for single-visit service jobs. If you're closer to a service company with one-off jobs, Jobber is likely a better fit — we're not trying to be everything.

FAQ

ServiceTitan users

Enterprise overkill, setup time, what's missing, data portability.

ServiceTitan is designed for scale — it's feature-deep and priced accordingly. If you're 5 people running construction or service work, most teams find Breche easier to set up, easier to train, and easier to maintain at their size. If you're at 100+ techs and need enterprise workflow tooling, ServiceTitan may be the better fit.

FAQ

JobNimbus users

Per-user pricing, roofing-first vs multi-trade, data migration.

Yes, especially if you run more than roofing or want pricing you can see up front. JobNimbus prices by quote, per user — the rate depends on your tier and user count, across four user-capped plan tiers. Breche publishes flat tiers — Solo $99, Team $199, Business $399 — with every feature (estimates, proposals, job costing, dispatch, portals, QuickBooks sync) included in every plan, and a 14-day free trial with no credit card.

FAQ

Buildertrend users

PM-first vs CRM-plus-PM, quote-based pricing, service contracts.

Yes, particularly if you want a sales CRM and project management in one system with pricing you can see. Buildertrend is quoted per customer via its sales team; Breche publishes flat tiers — Solo $99, Team $199, Business $399 — with every feature included, plus a self-serve 14-day free trial with no credit card required.

FAQ

Housecall Pro users

Dispatch-first vs project-first, per-user plans, construction fit.

Yes, for project-based contractors. Housecall Pro is dispatch-first software for high-volume home services; Breche is project-first — multi-section estimates, option-based proposals with e-signature, progress invoicing with card and ACH payments, and line-item job costing. Every feature is in every plan at flat tiers ($99/$199/$399), and both products offer a 14-day free trial with no credit card.
