Window and door estimates your customers sign from their phone.
Type the openings the way you would text them. BidWriter Pro turns it into a clean estimate the customer signs and pays a deposit on, so you can place the order.

Only what you typed, cleaned up and laid out. Nothing gets added that you didn't say.
Common headaches for window and door installers, and what this does about them
Orders waiting on a deposit check in the mail
The deposit is paid by card when they sign, so the money is down before you buy anything or put them on the schedule. Taking checks or Venmo instead works too.
Customers who thought the trim was included
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.
Writing eight openings out by hand every time
Your terms, warranty, and fine print are saved once and go on every bid. Save the jobs you do often and start the next one from there.
What to spell out on a window and door installer bid
Useful whatever you write your bids in. These are the lines that keep a job from turning into an argument.
- Count, size, style, and glass package for each opening
- Full-frame versus insert, and what happens to the trim and the siding
- Lead time, and that the order is placed when the deposit clears
- Haul-off of the old units and interior touch-up
Lead times on custom windows are long and the deposit is what starts the clock. Say that on the bid so nobody is surprised at week six.

Before you sign up.
Can I put the lead time on the estimate?
Yes. It goes in the timeline, and the deposit date is on the signed copy, so the clock is in writing.
Can I list each window separately?
Yes. One line per opening in the scope. The price stays one number at the bottom.
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.
