Does it work for a one-truck plumbing shop?

Yes. A solo plumber runs the same workspace an operator with several trucks does — email intake turns a request into a job, the board shows what is New, Waiting, and Done, and you capture photos and time from your phone on site, then turn approved hours into an invoice. Because pricing is flat with no per-seat cost, it is the same $99 a month whether you run one truck or ten.

What if I also run HVAC or electrical work?

That is exactly what MasterBuilds is built for. Add each business as its own entity and its jobs get their own board and their own books, color-coded so plumbing never blurs into HVAC. You run every business you own from one login instead of paying for and switching between separate tools.

How do plumbing requests become jobs?

Each business gets its own intake email address. A drain call or a water-heater request emailed to it becomes a structured work order on its own — the subject becomes the title, the message becomes the notes, and any photos attach to the job — landing as a New card on your plumbing board. Nothing gets retyped, and nothing sits buried in an inbox.

What does it cost as my crew grows?

It does not change. MasterBuilds is a flat $99 a month per workspace with unlimited crew and unlimited businesses, so hiring a second or a fifth plumber never adds a per-technician fee. Media like photos and video counts toward a generous weighted usage meter, never a per-seat charge.

Plumbing software that grows with every shop you run

Water heaters, repipes, drain calls, the 2 a.m. emergency callout — a plumbing shop runs on requests that turn into jobs, and jobs that turn into invoices. MasterBuilds runs that whole line: a request becomes a work order, the work order lives on a status-first board, your crew captures photos and time from the truck, and it ends in a clean invoice. One workspace, whether you run one truck or several shops.

Intake to invoice

Plumbing software built for how you actually work

A plumbing job doesn’t start in software — it starts with a call, a text, or an email about a leak. MasterBuilds meets it there. Forward a request to your intake address and it becomes a structured work order on your plumbing board, so a burst supply line or a scheduled repipe is a card you can triage, not a note you might lose.

From that card the job moves the way the work does: you set priority and schedule it, your crew logs photos and hours from the site, and approved time and materials roll into an invoice with a PDF you can send. See how email intake turns a request into a job.

Solo to crew

For the solo plumber and the multi-trade shop

It fits a one-truck shop and it fits a growing one. A solo plumber gets the same board, the same intake, and the same invoicing an operation with five trucks does — there’s nothing to grow into and no seat to buy before it’s worth it.

As you hire, the board is how the crew stays on the same page: everyone sees what’s New, what’s Waiting on parts, and what’s Done, from their own phone. Because pricing is flat, adding your second or third plumber doesn’t change the bill.

The difference

Run plumbing alongside your other businesses

Most plumbers we talk to don’t only do plumbing. You might run an HVAC company on the side, take on electrical work, or manage maintenance for a handful of rental properties. Every other tool assumes that’s one business with a few service types — so the books blur together and there’s no clean line between them.

MasterBuilds treats each one as its own business inside a single workspace: separate boards, separate books, one login. Your plumbing jobs stay on the plumbing board, color-coded so they never mix with the rest. It’s the whole idea behind running every business you own from one workspace, and if you work across trades, the multi-trade overview shows how it fits together.

Pricing

Flat $99/mo, unlimited crew

One price covers all of it: $99 a month, flat, with unlimited crew and unlimited businesses. No per-technician fee, no charge for adding a second trade, no add-on you have to unlock to send an invoice.

If you’ve watched field-service tools get more expensive every time you hire, that’s the model we built the pricing to avoid. Your bill is the same the day you land a big commercial repipe as it was the day you signed up.

Comparison

How MasterBuilds compares for plumbers

Coming from another tool, or weighing a few? The honest short version: incumbents like Jobber are mature and well-integrated, and for a single established shop that can be the right call. MasterBuilds is the better fit when you want flat pricing and you run more than one business. See the full breakdown, comparing for a plumbing shop.
