Invoicing and milestone billing for renovation contractors.
Turn a signed estimate into a deposit and stage invoices, send each one with a pay link and see what is paid at a glance.
How milestone billing works in Hello Renovate.
Three steps from a signed job to the last payment.
Start from the estimate
Set the deposit, then split the balance into milestones. Hello Renovate can divide it evenly and you adjust each amount.
Send each stage
Email or text a branded invoice with your terms and a pay link. The client opens it on any phone.
Watch it get paid
The invoice status updates as money lands, so you always know what is paid and what is still due.
Everything you need to get paid on schedule.
Built for jobs that last weeks, where the money has to follow the work.
Deposit and milestones
Set a deposit by percent or fixed amount, then split the rest into stages tied to real steps of the job.
Carried from the estimate
Line items and totals flow across from the accepted estimate, so nothing is retyped.
Your terms on every invoice
Add your own payment terms and instructions so every client knows exactly how to pay you.
A secure link to a branded page
Email the invoice as a link to a clean page with your logo. It works on any phone.
Draft, sent, paid, overdue
Track every invoice by status and see what is still outstanding across all jobs.
Standalone invoices
Bill work that did not start as an estimate with an invoice built from your own line items.
Know what is collected and what is still due.
Every job shows its stages, their status and how much has landed, so there is no chasing and no guessing.
From a signed estimate to a closed job, one record the whole way.
Invoices move the deal on your pipeline and sit on the client record next to the estimate and the job photos.

Invoices questions, answered.
Short answers. Anything else, just ask us.
What is milestone billing?
Milestone billing splits a project total into stages such as a deposit, demolition, rough in, cabinet install and punch list. Each stage becomes its own invoice, so you are paid as the work progresses instead of waiting for the end.
How do I create milestone invoices?
Start from an accepted estimate. Set a deposit as a percentage or a fixed amount, then split the remaining balance into milestones. Hello Renovate can split it evenly and you can adjust each amount.
How do my clients pay me?
Each invoice or milestone has a pay link. Your client pays by card or bank and the money goes to your own Stripe account.
Can I create an invoice without an estimate?
Yes. Create a standalone invoice with your own line items for work that did not start as an estimate.
Does the invoice look good on a phone?
Yes. Every invoice is a responsive page with your logo and payment terms. Clients open the link on any device with no account.
Are invoices included in the price?
Yes. Invoices and milestone billing are in Pro at $29.99 a month and Pro Plus at $59.99 a month, and invoices are unlimited on both plans.
