Pricing composite vs. pressure-treated options means rebuilding the whole quote

How it works

Save the client and property

Keep contacts, the site address and project name with the estimate.

Price the scope

Use your rates and price book. Type line items or add voice notes and photos, then review the draft.

Send the proposal for approval

Share one clear scope and price by email or SMS. Clients review and sign online.

Invoice and track payment

Convert the proposal to an invoice, track deposits and balances, and offer connected Stripe card payments.

What to look for in deck builder estimating software

A materials list you control — your lumber, composite, and railing prices, your markup — not generic national averages
Speed on site: a full estimate built from a 60-second walkthrough, not a form you fill out back at the office
Built-in e-signature so the homeowner can approve on your phone before you leave the yard
Editable material quantities and prices, with one clear price per proposal

A real walkthrough, priced

Quote Commander turns your walkthrough recording into line items with your own lumber and railing prices — so the proposal goes out while the homeowner is still excited.

Beyond the estimate

Keep client contact details and property addresses, send signed proposals and invoices, track deposits and card payments, and sync supported records to QuickBooks Online. Jobs, scheduling, crew tasks and job costing are new in preview.
