About Renovate

Built by contractors, for contractors.

Renovate, also known as Hello Renovate, is the contractor CRM for renovation and remodeling businesses across the USA and Canada. It is built by people who have priced the jobs, sent the invoices, and waited on the payments.

Why we built it

Nobody was building for renovation specifically

Every renovation shop we talked to was running on the same broken stack. Books in one app, estimates in a document, payments somewhere else, the crew on a group text, the pipeline in a spreadsheet. Five tools, none of them talking, and the owner spending their evenings stitching data together instead of quoting the next job.

The bigger apps were built for a different business. Jobber and Housecall Pro are strong for dispatch heavy service teams. Buildertrend fits enterprise general contractors with a hundred concurrent projects. But the middle of the market, the solo to thirty person renovation and remodeling crews that bill in milestones, had nothing made for the way they actually work.

So we built Renovate. One workspace for estimates, milestone invoices, contacts, pipeline, tasks, schedule, a storefront, and Renovate AI room mockups. Priced at $29.99 a month, so a two client month covers the whole year.

Every feature is tested against a real renovation shop's week. If it does not help someone close a deal or get paid, it does not ship.

Things the people behind Renovate have lived

  • Priced a kitchen at 9pm after a full day on site
  • Chased a final payment for six weeks
  • Lost margin to a change order nobody wrote down
  • Rebuilt the same estimate in a blank document for the hundredth time

What we believe

Four principles

Everything we ship traces back to these.

Built by people who run the jobs

Renovate is shaped by renovation contractors and the software people who work next to them, not by an enterprise vendor that discovered the trades as a market segment.

Simple enough to use on site

Contractors do not have time to learn enterprise software. Renovate onboards in ten minutes. Send your first estimate before your morning coffee cools.

Never a cut of your payments

Client payments land straight in your bank. Renovate takes zero percent, on every invoice, on every plan.

USA and Canada, day one

Every feature works the same in both markets, with city level pricing benchmarks and licensing notes for the major metros.

What is different

How Renovate is not another contractor CRM

Four things Renovate ships that Jobber, Housecall Pro, and Buildertrend do not.

1

Milestone billing as standard

Any invoice can split a total into deposit, demo, rough in, cabinet install, and punch list. Get paid at every stage instead of chasing one final payment.

2

Renovate AI mockups

Turn a room photo into a photorealistic renovation mockup in about 30 seconds. Contractors close more per bid because the client sees the outcome before they sign.

3

Public storefront on Pro Plus

A public storefront URL at hellorenovate.com/store for your portfolio, service list, and quote request form. Something real to point clients at.

4

Unlimited users at the starter price

Whether you are a solo contractor or a 20 person crew, Renovate is $29.99 a month. No per user fees, no enterprise upsell.
