Common headaches for general contractors, and what this does about them

1

Proposals that take an hour to write up at night

Type it rough on your phone. It comes out as a proposal in about two minutes, with your company name, terms, and warranty already on it.

2

Customers who go quiet after "send me something in writing"

You get an alert when they open it and when they sign. If they go quiet, a follow-up goes out from you on day 3 and day 7.

3

Paying for a full field-service platform to write bids

$29 a month, flat. No dispatch board, no seats, no add-ons. It writes the bid, gets it signed, and gets you paid.

What to spell out on a general contractor bid

Useful whatever you write your bids in. These are the lines that keep a job from turning into an argument.

Put it in writing
  • The job in phases: demo, rough, finish
  • Allowances for anything the customer still has to pick
  • How change orders work and what they cost
  • Progress payments tied to milestones, and who pulls permits

Dumpster, site protection, and daily cleanup are the items customers assume and contractors forget to write down.

Questions from general contractors

Before you sign up.

Is this a replacement for Jobber or Housecall Pro?

If you have crews to dispatch and payroll to run, no. If you write your own bids and just need them written, sent, and signed, yes, at a fraction of the price.

Can I use my own terms?

Yes. Payment terms and warranty are yours to write, once in your profile or per bid.

Is the signature legally binding?

Yes. The customer types their full name and clicks Accept, and we record the name, date, time, and the exact proposal they agreed to. That meets the U.S. E-SIGN Act, the same law behind DocuSign.

Does my customer need an app?

No. They tap the link in your text or email, the proposal opens in their phone's browser, they read it and sign.

Does it change what I wrote?

It fixes spelling and lays your notes out cleanly. It does not add scope, exclusions, or promises you didn't make.

What does it cost?

$29 a month, flat. Unlimited proposals. Your first 30 days are free with no card, and you can cancel anytime.
