Almost any new tool looks good in its first month. The better question is what the numbers look like after two years. Cornel’s started with BlueBoost in June 2024, and the figures here cover every job since.
A Family-Owned Shop Where The Jobs Run Big
Cornel’s Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning is a family-owned company serving homeowners across the Portland metro area. Its plumbing team handles everything from emergency repairs and water heaters to repipes and trenchless sewer replacement. On jobs that size, the estimate matters as much as the diagnosis. A homeowner has to understand the work before they will approve it.
Where “Let Me Think About It” Comes From
A sewer replacement or a repipe is hard to explain in a few lines typed on a tablet at the end of a call. A short, technical estimate leaves the homeowner guessing, and guessing usually ends in “let me think about it.” With BlueBoost, a Cornel’s technician talks through what they found, and each option comes out as a clear, detailed write-up the customer can follow.
What 28 Months Of Estimates Show
Since June 2024, Cornel’s technicians have created more than 17,500 well-written estimates with BlueBoost, on jobs that have brought in $13.4M in sales. Jobs written with BlueBoost carry 10% more estimates, so homeowners see more of their options. The average ticket on those jobs is 26.4% higher than on jobs written without it. The team has also saved an estimated 1,460 hours of writing, which is about 36 full work weeks.
