Estimate software that wins the job.

What good estimate software should do

Build from your catalog

Save your services, unit prices, and unit costs once. Every new estimate starts from real line items, so quotes are fast and consistent.

See margin before you send

Track unit cost against price on each line so you know your margin on the job before the client sees a number.

Clients accept from any device

Send a secure link. The client reviews the scope and price on their phone and accepts online, with no printing or scanning.

Show the finished room

Attach a Renovate AI preview so the client can picture the result. Pro includes 50 previews a month and Pro Plus includes 100.

How to choose contractor estimate software

Most remodelers still quote in a spreadsheet or a word processor. It works until you have five open quotes, a client asking for a change, and no way to see which ones were opened. The right software fixes three things: speed, consistency, and follow up.

Speed comes from a saved catalog. If every kitchen quote starts from the same demolition, cabinet, and countertop lines, you stop retyping prices and start sending estimates the same day you visit the site. Consistency comes from your terms, scope notes, and branding printing the same way on every document.

Follow up is where most jobs are won or lost. Software that shows when a client opened the estimate, and keeps the estimate attached to a pipeline stage, tells you exactly who to call today. Finally, look for a tool that carries the accepted estimate straight into billing, so you never rebuild the same numbers as an invoice.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is the best estimate software for a small remodeling business?

Look for a tool that builds estimates from a saved catalog, lets clients accept online, tracks change orders, and converts the accepted estimate into invoices. Renovate does all four for $29.99 a month on the Pro plan.

Can clients approve estimates online?

Yes. Each estimate is a secure link. The client reviews the scope and price and accepts it on their phone or computer.

Does it handle change orders?

Yes. Create a change order from the estimate, send it for approval, and the revised total carries through to billing.

Can I see my profit on an estimate?

Renovate tracks unit cost and price per line item, so you can see cost and margin before you send the estimate.

Is there a free estimate template?

Yes. The free estimate template on our templates page shows the structure. Software adds the catalog, online acceptance, and billing on top.

How much does it cost?

Pro is $29.99 a month and Pro Plus is $59.99 a month. Estimates and invoices are unlimited on both plans.
