Does the pick change with team size?
Both are residential-roofing generalists at any size; Housecall Pro's lead-gen edge suits growth-focused shops while Jobber's job costing appeals to margin-watchers. The bigger decision at every size is whether roofing-specific workflows (measurements, insurance) push you to a dedicated roofing CRM instead.
