## Why Custom vs Off-the-Shelf CRM

Off-the-shelf contractor CRMs like Jobber ($49-$249/month per user), ServiceTitan ($398+/month), and Housecall Pro ($79-$189/month) charge recurring fees and force contractors into generic workflows. Flint builds custom CRMs starting at $5,000-$15,000 as a one-time project cost — significantly less than the $20,000-$50,000 industry average. Contractors own the software outright with no per-seat charges. For teams of 5-20 employees, a custom CRM typically becomes more cost-effective than SaaS subscriptions within 12-18 months.

## Key Results

## FAQ

- **What types of businesses do you work with?** We specialize in contractors and home service businesses — electricians, plumbers, roofers, HVAC companies, and similar trades on Long Island and across the US.
- **How much does a custom contractor website or CRM cost?** Contractor websites start at $2,500. Custom CRMs range from $5,000 to $15,000 — significantly less than the $20,000-$50,000 industry average.
- **How long does a typical project take?** Most websites are delivered in 2-4 weeks. Custom CRMs and automation projects typically take 4-8 weeks.
- **Why choose a custom CRM over Jobber or ServiceTitan?** Off-the-shelf CRMs force you into generic workflows and charge monthly per-user fees. A custom CRM is built around your exact process, you own it outright, and it integrates with tools you already use.
- **What is an AI receptionist for contractors?** An AI receptionist answers your business phone 24/7, captures lead details, and books appointments. Contractors miss 60-80% of incoming calls — an AI receptionist ensures no lead goes to voicemail.
- **What automations do you build?** Automated follow-ups after quotes, invoice generation, appointment reminders, AI document processing, lead qualification, and data sync between CRM, accounting, and scheduling tools.
- **Do you serve businesses outside Long Island?** While based in Bayport, NY, we work with businesses anywhere in the US remotely.
