Remodeling websites for Jobber that stop estimate leaks

What is breaking on most remodeling sites
We keep running into this: most remodeling sites treat a $20k repair and a $200k addition like the same contact form. That leaves our estimator guessing on project type, budget, and start timing, which turns a good lead into a callback chore. By the time we follow up, the homeowner has usually compared three more remodelers and moved on.
Cost of delay
A slow response can cost the consultation, the higher-value project, or the repeat relationship that should have followed.
Industry context lives at /for/remodeling.
What the connected website changes
What a Jobber-connected website does instead
The site qualifies project type, budget, address, timeline, and whether plans or a designer are already in play before the handoff starts. On the native path, Jobber receives a Request immediately. On the custom path, the website can use Jobber's OAuth authorization-code flow and GraphQL API to create the Client first and keep remodel-specific context attached to the record before office follow-up.
Native path
Use Jobber's native request path when the remodeler mainly needs fast capture into the office workflow.
API or managed intake
Use Jobber's GraphQL path when kitchen, bath, addition, and design-build leads need different routing before the Request workflow begins.
Connection patterns
How the connection works
Native intake path
The homeowner submits through Jobber's native request experience and the office sees a new Request right away. This is the cleanest fit when the team can work from a standard Request and add the rest of the estimate context by phone.
When to use
Choose this when the business wants the fastest possible handoff and does not need much pre-qualification beyond the Request form.
Custom remodeling intake + Jobber GraphQL
The website captures project type, budget range, target start window, property address, and design status before a backend integration uses Jobber's OAuth 2.0 authorization-code flow and GraphQL API. That keeps high-value remodels from looking like generic contact submissions.
When to use
Choose this when addition, whole-home, and design-build leads need cleaner routing and better estimator context.
Intake design
What the website should capture for remodeling
Field
Project type
Separates kitchen, bath, addition, and repair work before the team calls back.
Field
Budget range
Screens project fit before the callback and keeps the estimator out of low-fit leads.
Field
Property address or zip code
Confirms service area and gives the office local project context.
Field
Target start window
Shows whether the lead belongs in the immediate consult queue.
Field
Plans, photos, or designer status
Tells the estimator how much context already exists before the first reply.
We usually find 3 handoff leaks on remodeling sites.
- We keep running into this: the form does not separate kitchen and bath work from additions or whole-home projects.
- We keep running into this: the office has to re-ask budget and start-window questions after submission.

We will show where the handoff leaks today and what the website should capture before the lead reaches Jobber.
If we are still forcing the office to rebuild project scope after every form fill, we need to fix that before anything is published.
