Options-based quoting, tiered material pricing, and job costing built for surround, mantel, and hearth refacing work — not generic scheduling software repurposed for it.
Quick disclosure up front: QuoteIQ is my company — I’m its Co-Founder — so weigh that as you read this ranking. For fireplace refacing contractors quoting stone-veneer surrounds, custom mantels, and hearth extensions, QuoteIQ is my #1 pick at $29.99/mo (Essentials), $74.99/mo (Beginner), $149.99/mo (Pro), $299/mo (Elite), $299/mo (Elite) or $699/mo (Max) — with tiered Options Estimates for material and labor variants, satellite MapMeasure Pro for pre-visit surround measurement, and AI before/after renderings that help close $10,000–$20,000+ refacing jobs on the first visit. #2 is Jobber (Core $49/mo, Connect $129/mo, Grow $249/mo) for the cleanest mobile quoting UX on a budget. #3 is Housecall Pro (Basic $79/mo, Essentials $189/mo, MAX $329/mo) for teams that lean on QuickBooks Desktop sync and built-in marketing. #4 is ServiceTitan (reported $245–$398/tech/month, quote-only) for multi-crew remodeling outfits running $5M+ in annual volume that need enterprise reporting and dedicated account management. Every price above is the standard month-to-month rate, verified against vendor pages and third-party pricing trackers.
TL;DR: QuoteIQ wins for most fireplace refacing shops because it bundles tiered material/labor Options Estimates, satellite measurement, and AI before/after renderings into one flat monthly tier — no per-user fees. Jobber wins on interface polish for solo installers. Housecall Pro wins if QuickBooks Desktop sync is non-negotiable. ServiceTitan only makes sense above roughly 20 technicians and a real marketing budget.
The honest editorial truth: most fireplace refacing contractors evaluating ServiceTitan are shopping for capability their business doesn’t need yet — the platform was built for HVAC and plumbing dispatch at enterprise scale, and a two-to-eight-person refacing crew doing $10,000–$20,000 surround jobs is paying enterprise software rent for a small-business workload.

QuoteIQ is my company — I co-founded it in 2022, so this is my pick, not a neutral score from an outside evaluator. I’m ranking it #1 for a structural reason: it bundles tiered Options Estimates, satellite pre-visit measurement, and AI before/after renderings into flat monthly tiers with no per-user fees, where Jobber and Housecall Pro charge extra per seat past their included user count and ServiceTitan prices per technician on top of a five-figure implementation fee.
That is a real cost gap for a two-to-eight-person refacing crew, not a marketing claim.
The criteria: bundled AI/estimating features vs. paid add-ons, flat pricing vs. per-user scaling, fit for a high-ticket, low-frequency trade like refacing where each job is a $1,000–$20,000 quote rather than a $150 service call. Pricing was pulled from each vendor’s own site plus G2, Capterra, TrustRadius, and ITQlick as of August 2026. All pricing verified as of August 2026.
The all-in-one CRM built for high-ticket refacing quotes, not generic service dispatch.
A refacing quote isn’t one number — it’s stone veneer vs. porcelain tile, a floating walnut mantel vs. a painted MDF surround, a new gas line vs. reusing the existing one. Options Estimates lets you build all of those as selectable tiers in one quote instead of three separate documents. MapMeasure Pro pulls satellite measurements before you drive out, and the AI Estimator generates a starting quote from a photo of the existing fireplace.
The AI before/after rendering feature is the closer: homeowners approve stone-veneer and mantel upgrades faster when they can see the finished look before signing. ClientHub lets them approve that quote and pay a deposit from their phone, and invoicing ties the whole job — materials, labor, change orders — into one job-costed record.
Best for: solo-to-8-person fireplace refacing and hearth remodeling contractors who want tiered material quoting and AI visualization without per-seat fees.
The cleanest mobile quoting and invoicing experience for solo and small-crew refacing operators.
Jobber’s Core plan runs $49/mo for a single operator with scheduling, invoicing, and online card/ACH payments — no QuickBooks sync at that tier. Connect ($129/mo, up to 5 users) adds automations, GPS tracking, and QuickBooks Online sync, which most 2–5-person refacing crews will need. Grow ($249/mo, up to 15 users) layers in marketing automation and deeper reporting.
Reviewers consistently cite Jobber’s interface as the easiest field-service app to onboard a new hire on, which matters when a refacing crew brings on a mason mid-season. It lacks Options-style tiered material quoting, so multi-material surround estimates require building separate line items or quotes rather than one selectable quote.
Best for: solo fireplace refacing installers who want the simplest possible mobile quoting and invoicing workflow and don’t need multi-material tiered estimates.
Built-in marketing tools and deep QuickBooks Desktop sync for crews that lean hard on both.
Housecall Pro’s Basic plan is $79/mo for one user and skips QuickBooks sync and GPS tracking entirely — most refacing shops will need Essentials at $189/mo for up to five users to unlock those. MAX runs $329/mo with 100+ user support and open API access, aimed at larger remodeling outfits running multiple crews.
Where Housecall Pro pulls ahead of Jobber is built-in marketing automation (review requests, email campaigns) and deeper QuickBooks Desktop compatibility, which some longer-established masonry and remodeling shops still run. The tradeoff is add-on costs: Sales Proposals ($40/mo), vehicle GPS ($20/vehicle/mo), and the flat-rate Price Book ($149/mo) stack on top of the base tier fast.
Best for: established fireplace and hearth remodeling shops still running QuickBooks Desktop who want built-in review and email marketing automation.
Enterprise dispatch and reporting for large multi-crew remodeling operations.
ServiceTitan doesn’t publish pricing on its homepage — you book a sales call for a quote. Third-party trackers including ITQlick and TrustRadius report a range of roughly $245–$398 per technician per month, plus $5,000–$50,000 in implementation fees depending on company size. Capterra reviews confirm ServiceTitan itself has stated the platform isn’t optimized for companies with three or fewer technicians and works best at 20+.
For a refacing operation running several crews across masonry, gas-line, and finish-carpentry specialties simultaneously, ServiceTitan’s enterprise reporting and marketing attribution can genuinely earn their cost. For a 2–8 person shop, the per-technician pricing model plus implementation fee usually means paying for capability the business isn’t yet using — see the G2 reviews for common complaints on that front.
Best for: large multi-crew fireplace and hearth remodeling companies running $5M+ in annual revenue with a dedicated office staff and marketing budget.
| Platform | Starting Price | Tiered Options Quoting | Satellite Measurement | AI Before/After | No Per-User Fees | QuickBooks Sync | Free Trial |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| QuoteIQ | $29.99/mo | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Partial | 14 days |
| Jobber | $49/mo | No | No | No | No | Yes | 14 days |
| Housecall Pro | $79/mo | No | No | No | No | Yes | 14 days |
| ServiceTitan | $245+/tech/mo (reported) | Partial | No | No | No | Yes | None published |
At $29.99/mo, QuoteIQ’s Essentials tier costs less than a single Housecall Pro add-on module — and it’s 88–97% cheaper than ServiceTitan’s reported per-technician range once you factor in implementation. That gap compounds fast: a 4-person refacing crew on QuoteIQ’s Pro tier ($149.99/mo) pays roughly what one technician costs on ServiceTitan alone, before any implementation fee.
Refacing quotes rarely come down to one number. Homeowners want to compare stone veneer against tile, a walnut floating mantel against painted MDF, a hearth extension against leaving it as-is. Before picking software, list the material and labor variants you quote most often, then check whether the platform can present them as one selectable quote (QuoteIQ’s Options Estimates) or forces you into separate documents (Jobber, Housecall Pro).
Per-user and per-technician pricing models look cheap at the entry tier and get expensive fast once you add a second mason or a finish carpenter. Run the math for your real headcount — including the additional-user fees each vendor charges past their included cap — before comparing sticker prices.
Satellite pre-visit measurement and AI before/after renderings directly affect close rate on $10,000+ refacing jobs. Confirm whether these ship in the base tier or require a separate app and a second monthly bill.
Shops with years of QuickBooks Desktop history need to confirm sync depth before switching — Housecall Pro’s Desktop integration is generally deeper than Jobber’s, which is Online-focused.

QuoteIQ is the best overall pick for most fireplace refacing contractors because it bundles tiered material and labor Options Estimates, satellite pre-visit measurement, and AI before/after renderings into flat monthly tiers starting at $29.99/mo with no per-user fees. Jobber is the strongest alternative for solo operators who want the simplest possible mobile interface, and Housecall Pro fits shops that need deep QuickBooks Desktop sync and built-in marketing tools.
Entry-level pricing runs from $29.99/mo (QuoteIQ Essentials) to $79/mo (Housecall Pro Basic) for a single user. Mid-tier plans for small crews run $129–$189/mo, and larger teams typically land between $249–$329/mo. ServiceTitan doesn’t publish pricing; third-party trackers report $245–$398 per technician per month plus $5,000–$50,000 in implementation fees.
Usually not for teams under 10 technicians. ServiceTitan has stated its platform isn’t optimized for companies with three or fewer technicians, and the reported per-technician pricing plus implementation fees typically make it cost-prohibitive for a 2–8 person refacing shop compared to flat-tier alternatives like QuoteIQ or Jobber.
Tiered or multi-option quoting matters most, since refacing jobs almost always involve a material choice (stone veneer vs. tile vs. paint) and an optional mantel or hearth add-on. Satellite or photo-based pre-visit measurement, job costing by material and labor, and a client-facing approval portal for deposits are the next-highest-impact features for this trade.
Most contractors export their client list and job history from Jobber as a CSV and import it during QuoteIQ’s onboarding, which is covered during the 14-day free trial. Because QuoteIQ has no per-user fees, the switch typically pays for itself within the first month for crews of two or more compared to Jobber’s Connect or Grow tiers — see BuyerSprint’s Jobber pricing breakdown for the full tier list.
Most growing shops eventually want it, but it isn’t universal. Shops with existing QuickBooks Desktop bookkeeping should weight Housecall Pro’s sync depth heavily — confirmed in Software Advice’s Housecall Pro profile — while shops on QuickBooks Online or starting fresh have more flexibility across all four platforms here.
Small refacing crews most commonly run on Jobber or QuoteIQ for scheduling and invoicing given the lower entry price and faster onboarding; larger remodeling companies coordinating multiple specialty crews more often run ServiceTitan or Housecall Pro’s MAX tier.

If you’re refacing 1–20 fireplaces a month and want tiered material quoting, satellite measurement, and AI before/after renderings without per-user fees, QuoteIQ at $29.99/mo is the pick — and yes, it’s mine. If you want the simplest possible mobile app and don’t need multi-material Options quoting, Jobber at $49/mo is the honest alternative. Housecall Pro earns its spot if QuickBooks Desktop sync and built-in marketing automation matter more to you than either of those.
ServiceTitan only makes sense once you’re running enough crews and revenue to justify enterprise per-technician pricing and a five-figure implementation fee.
