Deposits up front, progress bills as you go, change orders in writing, the three habits that keep remodelers profitable, built into one app.
Everything below is included or one tap away, no modules, no add-on pricing, no sales calls.
"While the wall is open…", every scope change gets written, priced, and SIGNED before the work happens. Disputes die in the signature box.
Bill part of the job as you hit milestones, demo done, rough-in passed, punch list cleared, instead of floating the whole build.
Upload the drawings and the AI drafts priced line items from the measurements, using your rates. (Pro & Crew)
Signed on their phone, deposit paid by card, schedule locked. Serious clients pay deposits; the app finds out which is which.
One printable page of everything billed, paid, and owed across the whole job, hand it over and end the "what do I owe you" call.
Builder-grade to custom, three tiers on one estimate, and the client picks their budget out loud.
Three steps between the walkthrough and the money.
Walk the space and talk, demo, framing, finishes, allowances. Type it or talk it, on Pro and Crew the AI drafts priced line items in YOUR rates.
The customer opens a clean link on their phone, signs, and pays the deposit, card, bank, or financing on big jobs.
Invoices carry pay links, reminders chase the money, and payments land straight in your bank account. We never touch your funds.
Remodeling jobs do not fail on craftsmanship, they fail on paperwork: the unsigned change order, the deposit never collected, the six invoices nobody can reconcile at the end. SayEstimate builds the discipline in. Estimates carry e-signatures and deposits, every change order gets priced and signed before the work happens, and progress billing keeps money flowing at each milestone instead of one scary number at the end.
When the client asks where things stand, one tap prints a statement of everything billed, paid, and owed. The AI can even draft the original estimate from your plans, in your rates. From $9.99 a month, 14 days free, English and Español.
Remodel estimates live and die on allowances and draws. An allowance is a stated budget for a finish the customer has not picked yet: tile at 6 dollars a square foot, a faucet at 250. Write the allowance into the line item and the customer upgrading to the 14 dollar tile becomes a simple documented difference instead of an argument. Payment draws tie money to milestones: deposit to schedule, a draw at demo complete, a draw at rough-in inspection, balance at punch list. Everyone sleeps better when the schedule of payments is on the signed estimate.
Change orders are where remodel profit goes to die or thrive. The wall is open, the customer says while you are here, and the only professional answer is a written, priced, signed change order before the extra work happens. The same goes for demo surprises: a discovery clause in the original terms, plus change orders for what the walls reveal, keeps a six-week job from becoming a six-week argument.
