Overview

What this migration involves

Contractor+ organizes contracting businesses around clients, jobs, estimates, and invoices — with a client portal for homeowner visibility. HubSpot models data as contacts, companies, deals, and tickets, using lifecycle stage to track prospects through qualification and a deal pipeline to model project stages. The migration carries every standard Contractor+ object — clients become HubSpot contacts and companies, leads map to contacts with a lifecycle stage value, estimates and jobs map to HubSpot deals, and invoices map to deal line items with payment status preserved as a custom property. FlitStack sequences the migration so parent records resolve before children: companies land first, then contacts with their company associations, then deals with their owner assignments and contact roles. HubSpot's automation tools — workflows, sequences, and templates — do not migrate and must be rebuilt. We export your Contractor+ workflow definitions as a rebuild reference for your HubSpot admin. Additionally, FlitStack preserves original create dates as custom datetime fields, assigns owners by email match, and maintains association links between contacts, companies, and deals to ensure a fully relational CRM from day one. After migration, your team can immediately leverage HubSpot's reporting, sales pipeline dashboards, and marketing automation to drive growth.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

What's pushing teams away

  • The subcontractor management feature was repeatedly delayed past its promised release date, frustrating users who needed to create accounts and assign work to sub-contractors.
  • Client Portal lacks granular visibility controls — users cannot hide specific job types or data that do not apply to a particular client, creating confusion and information disclosure risk.
  • Freedom plan caps estimates and invoices at 5 per month, forcing contractors to upgrade to Pro sooner than expected as soon as they start taking on regular work.
  • Users report a learning curve when first exploring the system — creating test quotes, jobs, and invoices takes a few evenings to feel comfortable, and the initial onboarding lacks guided structure.
  • The platform is relatively new and rapidly evolving, meaning features available at evaluation may shift or be removed before sub-ecosystems (like the subcontractor portal) are fully built out.

Choosing

HubSpot

What's pulling them in

  • Lowest barrier to entry of any major CRM — the free tier with unlimited contacts lets teams validate fit before committing to a paid plan, according to G2 and Capterra reviewers.
  • Native integration between the CRM and sales engagement tools (sequences, email tracking, dialer) means no separate sync configuration, a theme across G2 Sales Hub reviews.
  • Pipeline visualization, deal tracking, and automated workflows are consistently praised as intuitive and easy to set up without developer involvement.
  • Strong onboarding for new team members — reviewers on Capterra and G2 highlight how quickly new reps become productive without formal training.
  • The HubSpot platform ecosystem (Marketing, Sales, Service, CMS hubs) allows growing companies to consolidate tools without building new integrations.

Object mapping

How Contractor+ objects map to HubSpot

Each row shows how a Contractor+ object lands in HubSpot, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.

Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.

Contractor+

Client

maps to

HubSpot

Contact + Company

1:1
Fully supported

Contractor+ clients store contact details and company affiliation in one record. FlitStack splits the record: contact fields map to a HubSpot Contact, and company name/domain map to a HubSpot Company. The Contractor+ client-to-company link is preserved as the Contact's primary Company association in HubSpot.

Contractor+

Lead

maps to

HubSpot

Contact

1:1
Fully supported

Contractor+ leads map directly to HubSpot Contacts. FlitStack applies a default lifecycle_stage value of 'lead' during migration; your team can update lifecycle stage values after import based on qualification status. Source lead status is preserved as a custom property for reporting continuity.

Contractor+

Job

maps to

HubSpot

Deal

1:1
Fully supported

Contractor+ jobs are the core project object. Each job maps to a HubSpot Deal where the deal name uses the job title, the deal amount pulls from the latest estimate value, and the deal stage maps from the Contractor+ job status field. Owner assignment resolves by email match against HubSpot users.

Contractor+

Job Status

maps to

HubSpot

Deal Stage

1:1
Fully supported

Contractor+ job status values (e.g., Scheduled, In Progress, On Hold, Completed, Invoiced) map one-to-one to HubSpot deal stages. FlitStack creates the destination deal stages before migration and maps each status value explicitly. Any unmapped status values are flagged for manual review before the migration runs.

Contractor+

Estimate

maps to

HubSpot

Deal Line Items

1:1
Fully supported

Contractor+ estimates contain line items with materials, labor, and markup. FlitStack maps the estimate total to the HubSpot Deal amount and creates individual line items on the deal using HubSpot's Line Item object, linking each to the target Deal by deal ID. Estimate-specific fields like validity date and accepted status migrate as custom properties on the deal.

Contractor+

Invoice

maps to

HubSpot

Deal + Line Items

1:1
Fully supported

Contractor+ invoices map to HubSpot Deals where the invoice status (Paid, Partial, Overdue) becomes a custom pick-list property on the deal. Paid invoices retain their payment date and amount; partial payments are tracked via the deal's associated line items and a custom paid_to_date__c field.

Contractor+

Client Portal Access

maps to

HubSpot

No equivalent

1:1
Fully supported

Contractor+ client portals let homeowners view estimates, invoices, and job status directly. HubSpot has no native customer-facing portal equivalent. We preserve the portal access configuration as a custom property (had_client_portal__c) so your team can identify which clients had portal access and build a replacement using HubSpot's member portal or a third-party tool.

Contractor+

Custom Fields (Client/Job)

maps to

HubSpot

Custom Properties

1:1
Fully supported

All Contractor+ custom fields on clients and jobs become HubSpot custom properties. FlitStack creates the properties in HubSpot before migration using snake_case naming convention (e.g., insurance_claim_number for a Contractor+ field of the same name). Custom field data type is preserved: text, number, date, and pick-list fields map to their HubSpot equivalents.

Contractor+

Owner / Team Member

maps to

HubSpot

HubSpot User

1:1
Fully supported

Contractor+ owner and team member records resolve to HubSpot users by email match. FlitStack validates that each Contractor+ owner has a corresponding HubSpot user before migration; unmatched owners are flagged with a fallback assignment to a designated HubSpot admin user.

Contractor+

Attachments (Photos, Documents)

maps to

HubSpot

HubSpot Files

1:1
Fully supported

Contractor+ file attachments on jobs and clients are downloaded and re-uploaded to HubSpot Files, associated to the corresponding contact or deal record. File size limits apply (HubSpot default 25MB per file); oversized files are flagged for manual review. After upload, files remain accessible via the HubSpot Files dashboard.

Contractor+

Sub-Contractor Reference

maps to

HubSpot

Custom Property or Association

1:1
Fully supported

Contractor+ stores sub-contractor references on jobs. HubSpot has no native sub-contractor field on deals. FlitStack creates a custom property (sub_contractor__c) on the Deal object and maps the sub-contractor name from Contractor+ as a text value. If sub-contractors are tracked as separate Contractor+ clients, FlitStack creates them as HubSpot contacts and links them via a custom junction association.

Contractor+

Material Pricing Data

maps to

HubSpot

Custom Property or Product

1:1
Fully supported

Contractor+ live local material cost data is Contractor+-specific and not natively available in HubSpot. FlitStack maps the most-recently-used material prices from Contractor+ as a custom text property on deal line items for reference. Rebuilding live material cost lookups requires a third-party integration or custom development in HubSpot.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Contractor+ job status has no native HubSpot lifecycle stage equivalent

    Contractor+ tracks job progress as a single status field (Scheduled, In Progress, On Hold, Completed, Invoiced). HubSpot has no comparable single field that tracks a project through a full lifecycle — HubSpot uses deal stage for pipeline progression and lifecycle stage for contact qualification as separate axes. We map Contractor+ job status to HubSpot deal stages but cannot preserve the single-field job lifecycle in HubSpot's native model. Your team should configure HubSpot deal stages to match your Contractor+ status values before the migration runs.

  • Client portal access has no HubSpot equivalent and must be rebuilt

    Contractor+ includes a client-facing portal where homeowners view estimates, invoices, and job status without contacting the office. HubSpot has no native customer portal at the CRM level — customer-facing visibility requires building a HubSpot member portal, a custom portal on HubSpot's CMS, or integrating a third-party tool like HoneyBook or Procore. We preserve the list of clients who had portal access as a custom boolean property (had_client_portal__c) so your team can identify who needs re-onboarding.

  • Sub-contractor tracking requires a custom property or association model

    Contractor+ stores sub-contractor assignments on jobs — a field pointing to a sub-contractor name or record. HubSpot has no native sub-contractor field on deals. FlitStack creates a custom text property (sub_contractor__c) on the Deal object during migration. If your team needs to track sub-contractor performance or link sub-contractor contacts to specific jobs, that requires a custom association model that goes beyond the standard migration scope. This ensures you retain sub-contractor context even if you later expand tracking.

  • Material pricing data is Contractor+-specific and does not map to a HubSpot native field

    Contractor+ Pro and Pro Team plans include live local material cost data used during estimate generation. HubSpot has no native material pricing database. We map the most-recently-used material unit prices from Contractor+ estimates as reference text on deal line items, but live material cost lookups must be rebuilt using a third-party construction estimating integration or a custom HubSpot development. These reference values help maintain estimate continuity while you evaluate integration options.

  • Estimate and invoice templates do not migrate — only data carries over

    Contractor+ estimate and invoice templates include custom branding, line item layouts, and optional add-on configurations. HubSpot Deals do not natively store template definitions — only the deal data itself moves. The visual template layout, default terms, and branded formatting must be rebuilt in HubSpot's document tool or a third-party quoting app. FlitStack exports your template configurations as a reference PDF for your HubSpot admin. This reference PDF aids your team in recreating consistent branding across all future quotes.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful Contractor+ to HubSpot data migration

  1. Audit Contractor+ data and configure HubSpot schema

    FlitStack extracts a full export of your Contractor+ data including clients, leads, jobs, estimates, invoices, custom fields, and file attachments. We audit record counts, identify custom field definitions, and map Contractor+ job status values to HubSpot deal stage names. Before migration runs, we create the HubSpot custom properties and deal stages required for the mapping so data lands in the correct schema on first import.

  2. Resolve owner and team member assignments by email

    Contractor+ owner and team member records are matched to HubSpot users by email address. FlitStack validates every owner has a corresponding HubSpot user before migration. Any unmatched owners are flagged with a designated fallback user so no record lands without an owner assignment. Your team resolves unmatched owners by either inviting them to HubSpot or reassigning their records before the migration window.

  3. Migrate companies and contacts first, then deals with associations

    HubSpot requires companies to exist before contacts can associate to them, and contacts before deals can reference them via contact roles. FlitStack sequences the migration so companies load first, then contacts with their primary company links, then deals with their assigned owners, contact role associations, and line items. Estimates and invoices attach to their parent jobs during the deal migration step.

  4. Run a sample migration with field-level diff

    A representative sample — typically 100–500 records spanning clients, jobs, estimates, and invoices — migrates first. FlitStack generates a field-level diff report showing the source value, mapped destination value, and any transformation notes for each field. Your team verifies job status mapping, owner resolution, and custom field creation before the full run commits. Sample migration typically completes within 24 hours of access provisioning.

  5. Cut over with delta-pickup for in-flight records

    The full migration runs against your HubSpot portal with FlitStack's scoped read access on Contractor+. Your team continues working in Contractor+ during cutover. A delta-pickup window (typically 24–48 hours) captures any records created or modified in Contractor+ after the initial migration batch. Audit log records every operation, and one-click rollback reverts to the pre-migration state if reconciliation reveals unexpected data gaps.

Platform deep dives

Context on both ends of the pair

Contractor+

Source

Strengths

  • Comprehensive field-service stack covering CRM, scheduling, estimating, invoicing, and payment acceptance in one app
  • Generous free tier that lets contractors run a small operation without any monthly cost
  • Responsive in-app chat and coaching support cited positively across multiple G2 reviews
  • Live material cost data and AI-powered estimating help contractors price jobs accurately
  • Multi-workspace support allows separating clients or business units within a single account

Weaknesses

  • Client Portal has no granular visibility controls, making it awkward to share selective information with clients
  • Subcontractor feature was repeatedly delayed, limiting use cases for contractors who manage sub-trades
  • API documentation is not publicly accessible, making programmatic data export more difficult
  • Rapid feature evolution means the data model may change between evaluation and active use
  • Freedom plan's 5-estimates-and-invoices-per-month ceiling fills up quickly for active contractors

Destination

Strengths

  • Genuinely useful free CRM tier with no seat limit on contact records.
  • All-in-one sales engagement layer (sequences, email tracking, calling, dialer) embedded natively in the CRM, eliminating a separate integration.
  • Intuitive interface and fast onboarding for individual reps, per G2 and Capterra reviews.
  • Workflow automation triggers across contacts, deals, and tickets with a visual builder.
  • API coverage for all standard objects including custom objects at Enterprise tier.

Weaknesses

  • Pricing model is contact-based at the marketing layer — importing all records as marketing contacts can multiply the monthly bill by 4×.
  • Feature tier cliffs are frequent surprises: sequences, calling, advanced reporting, and quoting are all gated, often requiring plan upgrades mid-implementation.
  • Mandatory onboarding fees at Professional ($1,500) and Enterprise ($3,500) are not prominently disclosed on the pricing page.
  • API rate limits are restrictive for bulk migration — burst limits of 100-200 req/10sec and search endpoint limits of 4 req/sec require careful job queuing.
  • Custom objects, additional pipelines, and advanced forecasting are Enterprise-only, making cost projections difficult for growing teams.

Most Contractor+ to HubSpot migrations complete in 48–72 hours for under 25,000 records. Larger setups with 100,000+ records or complex job-to-deal mapping with multiple line items extend to 5–10 days. The longest planning step is mapping Contractor+ job status values to HubSpot deal stages — each distinct status value needs an explicit mapping entry before migration. The planning also covers custom field mapping and ownership assignment, ensuring a smooth transition.
