Built for remodeling and trade work

Labor is split into real tasks with hours and a rate for each trade, materials come with quantities and units, and markup, tax and contingency are applied the way you set them.

Questions that change the priceSize, quality level, existing conditions and access — the answers go straight into quantities and hours.
Labor by tradeEach trade gets its own rate and its own lines — demo, framing, plumbing, electrical, tile, paint.
Your prices, or local onesSet your labor rates and material prices once; everything else uses current rates for your area.
Markup, tax, contingencyBuilt in and editable, so the total is the number you actually send.

Frequently asked questions

How does Cost Estimator work?

Describe the job in a few words — typed, dictated or with site photos. The app asks a few questions that change the price (size, quality level, site conditions), builds a scope of work, then an itemized estimate with materials and labor by trade. Edit anything and send it as a PDF or link.

Where do the prices come from?

Your own labor rates and prices if you set them; otherwise current market rates for your area. Every estimate is a starting point — review the lines before you send it.

Which trades is it for?

General contractors, remodelers, handymen, painters, plumbers, electricians, HVAC, roofers, carpenters, flooring, drywall and landscaping.

Can I send estimates and invoices to clients?

Yes. Send a branded estimate as a PDF or a link your client can view and accept, turn it into an invoice in one tap, and track what's unpaid.

Does it work on my phone?

Yes. The web app runs in any phone or computer browser and is included with every plan. There are also iPhone and Android apps, subscribed separately in their stores.

Is it available in Spanish?

Yes — the web app and the estimates follow your browser language (English or Spanish).
