Switch guide

How to switch from Jobber to Lakehouse

Bring your history. Leave the add-ons.

The playbook for growth-minded HVAC, plumbing, roofing, and garage door owners who want their history to come with them.

What to know first

Three realities of switching.

Your data comes with you

Customers, price book, and job history migrate. You do not rebuild from scratch.

A real person leads it

Your success manager runs the migration and training. You are not on your own.

It moves at your pace

This is a guided process with clear milestones, not a race against a clock.

The path

Milestones, not a countdown.

Step by step

The six-step playbook.

01

Export your data from Jobber

Jobber exports client, service, and invoice lists as separate CSV files. Job history does not come out in a clean single format, which is exactly the messy part we handle for you.

02

Book your Lakehouse onboarding call

You meet your success manager. They learn your business, your customers, and how you work.

03

We migrate your customers, price book, and job history

Your success manager handles the import so your records land clean and complete.

04

We set up your business phone number and email

Registered and ready before you need them, so customer messaging works from day one.

05

We train your team

Owner, office manager, and technician training so everyone is confident in the app.

06

You go live and shut down your old account

Everything is ready, your team is trained, and your success manager stays your person.

The handoff

What comes with you, and what you leave behind.

Comes with you

  • Your customers and contacts
  • Your price book, with margins
  • Job and invoice history
  • Your business phone and email presence

What you leave behind

  • Stacked add-on subscriptions
  • Self-serve-only support
  • Tiers you have to decode
  • Doing your own setup

After you go live

Your success manager does not disappear.

Once you are live, your success manager stays your person. They help you tune memberships, dial in your marketing, and answer when you call. This is how we treat you because it is how you treat your customers.

From the field

“Switching from Jobber sounded scary. It was not. They moved everything and trained my team.
