Questions from chimney and fireplace teams.

Visit the Help Center

Can I set up annual inspections that repeat?

Yes. Create a recurring job and choose how often visits repeat, such as once a year. Each visit stays on that job, with last year's findings and photos.

Can I use my price book and offer optional items?

Yes. The price book prices sweeps, caps and repairs on the tech's phone, and an estimate can carry optional items the customer picks, like a new cap or a crown seal. A repair found on an inspection goes on an estimate the customer accepts or declines online.

How do deposits and customer payments work?

Customers pay by card from the invoice you email them, straight into your own Stripe account. A deposit on a liner installation is recorded against that invoice, and so are partial payments, cash and checks.

Can I mix residential and commercial work?

Yes. A property manager's account keeps several properties, on the same records as your residential customers. Each invoice carries its own payment terms, such as Net 30. Each chimney's findings stay with its property, where next year's inspection finds them.

What can I bring over from my current system?

Your customers come over from the app you use now or a spreadsheet, along with their jobs and invoices. You check a preview before anything is added, and everything you enter stays yours. See how switching works.

What does setup involve for my crew?

Create the account, add each person with a role, and they sign in on their own phones. The Help Center walks through each step, and the support page has chat, email and the support line when you want a hand.
