A practical comparison of the CRM platforms floor stripping and floor care contractors actually use to quote, schedule, and invoice recurring commercial strip-and-wax contracts.
Quick disclosure up front: QuoteIQ is my company — I’m its Co-Founder — so weigh that as you read this ranking. For floor stripping contractors running recurring commercial strip-and-wax and buff contracts, my pick is QuoteIQ ($29.99/mo), because it bundles AI estimating, satellite square-footage measurement, recurring job automation, and automated review requests into flat tiers with no per-user fees — features the other three sell as separate line items or lock behind their most expensive plan. Jobber ($39/mo) is the strongest general-purpose runner-up, with a polished mobile app and the widest third-party integration bench, but its Connect and Grow tiers add up fast once you need automation. Housecall Pro ($59/mo) leans hardest into Google Local Services Ads lead generation, which matters if new commercial bids are your bottleneck. ServiceTitan (reported $245–$398/technician/month) is the enterprise benchmark for large multi-crew floor care operations with dedicated dispatch staff, but its opaque pricing and five-figure implementation fees put it out of reach for the vast majority of floor stripping shops. Every competitor here is covered with real strengths and verified standard monthly pricing.
TL;DR: Floor stripping is a repeat-contract business — the software that wins handles recurring commercial scheduling, per-square-foot estimating, and crew dispatch without per-seat fees eating your margin as you grow. QuoteIQ, Jobber, Housecall Pro, and ServiceTitan cover solo operators through 50+ technician operations.
The honest editorial truth: most floor stripping contractors evaluating ServiceTitan are paying enterprise-scale technician fees and implementation costs for dispatch complexity they don’t have. A two- to eight-crew strip-and-wax operation rarely needs a platform built for 50-technician HVAC dispatch — it needs flat monthly pricing, recurring job automation, and a mobile app the crew will actually use on a buffer-dusty jobsite.

QuoteIQ is my company — I co-founded it with Justin Rogers in 2022 — so this is my openly-disclosed pick, not a neutral score produced by an independent evaluation. The case I make for it is structural: QuoteIQ bundles AI estimating, satellite square-footage measurement, recurring job automation, and review requests into flat monthly tiers with no per-user fees, where Jobber and Housecall Pro sell equivalent functionality as paid add-ons and ServiceTitan requires a five-figure implementation contract before you see a price at all.
I still cover every competitor with its genuine strengths, sourced cons, and real month-to-month pricing pulled from each vendor’s published pricing page or a named third-party source as of August 2026. All pricing verified as of August 2026.
The all-in-one CRM built by contractors for recurring commercial floor care contracts.
Floor stripping is a repeat-contract business — the lobby needs stripped and rewaxed every few weeks, and the invoice should be ready before the client asks. QuoteIQ’s AI Estimator generates a detailed per-square-foot estimate from a job description or photos, and MapMeasure Pro measures commercial square footage from satellite imagery instead of a manual walk-through.
Once a bid is approved, recurring job automation auto-populates the calendar on your defined frequency, EmployeeHub assigns and tracks the crew across multiple commercial sites in a shift, and Review Multiplier fires an automated review request the moment the invoice is paid — timed exactly when the floor is freshly stripped and gleaming.
Best for: solo operators through 10-crew floor stripping businesses that want recurring commercial contract automation and AI estimating without per-seat pricing. Watch how it ranks against the field →
The most widely used general-purpose FSM platform, with the deepest mobile app and integration bench.
Jobber’s Client Hub portal lets commercial facility managers approve quotes and pay invoices online, which cuts the back-and-forth on multi-building strip-and-wax accounts. The mobile app is genuinely one of the best in the category, and the drag-and-drop calendar makes daily crew scheduling intuitive across several commercial sites in one shift.
The gap shows up at scale: automated review requests and marketing tools are paid add-ons rather than included, and moving beyond the single-user Core plan to Connect at $119/mo for a small crew adds up quickly for a two- or three-person floor stripping operation.
Best for: floor stripping operators who also run adjacent trades (carpet cleaning, general janitorial) under one company and want Jobber’s proven, broad-purpose scheduling and invoicing across all of it. See Jobber’s pricing page →
Strong marketing automation and Google Local Services Ads integration for growth-focused commercial floor care.
Housecall Pro’s Google Local Services Ads integration converts Google search leads directly into booked jobs, which matters for a floor stripping business trying to build a commercial bid pipeline. Its flat-rate price book makes it easy to standardize strip, wax, and buff pricing across a crew, and reporting tools let you track profitability per commercial contract.
The Essentials plan at $149/mo adds QuickBooks integration and equipment tracking, useful for logging floor machines and buffers across job sites — but Basic at $59/mo excludes both, and most operators outgrow it within a few months. Capterra reviewers back this pattern up consistently.
Best for: floor stripping businesses aggressively marketing for new commercial accounts through Google Ads, or that want detailed per-contract profitability reporting. Visit Housecall Pro →
The enterprise benchmark for large multi-crew, multi-location floor care operations.
ServiceTitan does not publish pricing — every figure here is reported from user data on G2, Capterra, and TrustRadius rather than a vendor price list. Reports put standard per-technician rates at roughly $245-$398/month, before a one-time implementation fee that commonly runs $5,000-$50,000 and a 12-month minimum contract.
For a floor stripping operation running 20+ technicians across multiple metro markets, that depth of dispatch, franchise reporting, and multi-location consolidation genuinely earns its price. For the two- to eight-crew shop that makes up most of this trade, it’s enterprise dispatch complexity nobody asked for. G2 reviewers and TrustRadius both document the implementation-fee pattern.
Best for: large multi-location floor care and janitorial franchises with 20+ technicians and dedicated dispatch staff who need enterprise-grade consolidated reporting. Visit ServiceTitan →

A five-crew floor stripping operation running QuoteIQ Pro ($149.99/mo, 4 users) pays roughly $1,800/year for a platform that includes AI estimating, satellite measurement, recurring job automation, and review requests. The comparable Jobber Grow Team tier plus a Marketing Suite add-on runs well past that once you add the automation QuoteIQ ships standard. Here’s what floor care and cleaning contractors say about running QuoteIQ day to day.
Count how many commercial accounts you service on a repeat schedule (weekly, biweekly, monthly). If manual re-booking is eating an hour or more a week, recurring job automation is the single feature that pays for a CRM fastest.
Set up an actual commercial strip-and-wax bid — square footage, finish type, number of coats — in each platform’s trial. See how many minutes it takes from job description to a sendable estimate.
If you run more than one crew, confirm the platform can assign jobs, track hours, and (ideally) track wax and stripper inventory across trucks without a third-party add-on.
Per-user and per-technician pricing models change the total fast. Calculate the real monthly cost at your current crew size, not the single-user entry price on the pricing page.
Import a real client list and run the new CRM alongside your existing process for two weeks before cutting over, so a scheduling gap doesn’t cost you a commercial contract mid-cycle.
The best CRM for floor stripping contractors in 2026 is QuoteIQ, starting at $29.99/mo. It handles the full recurring-contract workflow — AI estimating, satellite square-footage measurement, crew scheduling, invoicing, and automated review requests — in one platform with no per-user fees. Jobber is a strong general-purpose runner-up if you need the widest mobile app and integration bench.
CRM software for floor stripping businesses ranges from about $29.99/mo (QuoteIQ Essentials) to $59/mo (Housecall Pro Basic) for solo operators, up to $149-$699/mo for multi-crew plans. ServiceTitan doesn’t publish pricing, but third-party reports put its per-technician rate at roughly $245-$398/month plus a five-figure implementation fee, making it the outlier for enterprise-scale operations only.
For most small floor stripping companies, ServiceTitan is not worth it. Its reported per-technician pricing and $5,000-$50,000 implementation fee are built for large multi-location dispatch operations with 20+ technicians. A two- to eight-crew strip-and-wax business will find equivalent or better recurring-contract functionality in QuoteIQ, Jobber, or Housecall Pro at a fraction of the cost.
Commercial floor care contractors most commonly use Jobber for its broad general-purpose feature set and large user base, or QuoteIQ for its recurring-contract automation and AI estimating at a lower entry price. Housecall Pro sees adoption among operators focused on Google Ads lead generation. ServiceTitan is reserved for larger, multi-location commercial cleaning and facilities operations.
Most platforms, including QuoteIQ, support CSV import of your existing client list. Start a free trial, import your data, and run both systems in parallel for one to two weeks before cutting over — timing the switch to the start of a new billing cycle on your recurring commercial contracts minimizes disruption.
QuoteIQ includes inventory management on its Elite and Max plans, letting you track floor wax, stripping chemicals, and buffing pads across trucks and job sites with low-stock alerts. Jobber and Housecall Pro do not offer native chemical/supply inventory tracking at any tier as of August 2026.
QuoteIQ Essentials offers a 14-day free trial with full access to AI estimating, invoicing, and client management for $29.99/mo after the trial — the lowest all-in-one entry point among the four platforms compared here. Jobber and Housecall Pro also offer 14-day trials at higher entry price points.

Floor stripping is a recurring-contract trade, and the CRM that wins is the one that automates commercial rebooking, prices per square foot accurately, and keeps invoicing moving without per-seat fees eating the margin as you add crews. QuoteIQ is my pick at $29.99/mo for exactly that reason — full disclosure, it’s my company. Jobber is the safest general-purpose alternative with the deepest mobile app. Housecall Pro earns its place for operators leaning on Google Ads for new commercial leads.
ServiceTitan belongs on the shortlist only once you’re running 20+ technicians across multiple locations with dedicated dispatch staff.
