Ask a room of plumbers about new software and you will get a look. Skylar Halpin doesn’t pretend otherwise. “A lot of the times we get a little scared about technology,” she says.
Three Generations In Cincinnati
Halpin Plumbing is a family-owned plumbing company in Cincinnati, Ohio. Skylar Halpin, a third-generation plumber, helps lead the business her family built. A company with that much history has earned the right to be skeptical of anything that promises to change how its technicians work.
The Test Every New Tool Has To Pass
A tool only saves time if technicians open it, and plenty of software never gets that far. With BlueBoost there was little to learn. A tech talks through the job, and the estimate is written for them. Getting the team on board was “natural and easy,” Skylar says. “I don’t even know if there was a learning curve.”
What Easy Adoption Turned Into
Since July 2025, Halpin technicians have created 778 well-written estimates with BlueBoost, on jobs that have brought in $1.2M in sales. Those jobs have averaged 71.4% more revenue than jobs written without it, and the team has saved an estimated 65 hours of writing. As Skylar puts it, “anything that saves time especially in the industry is money back in your pocket.”
