Quietly building · spring 2026

The proposal page your client opens — and signs.

Create a beautiful, dimensioned proposal your homeowner can read on their phone, share with a spouse, and sign and pay in one tap. Here's what they see, page by page (see below). We're looking for ten deck builders to use the product through Q3, give us hard feedback every two weeks, and shape what ships. Free through 2026. Email me.

The customer page · sample

Five sections, one magic link.

Send one URL. The homeowner opens it on whatever device they have. Each section is built to answer the next question they'd ask.

01 · The cover

The first thing they see — a photo of the deck.

Hero photo created with AI of the deck they are envisioning (based on photos you uploaded), with the address, start date, walk-on-it date, crew, and proposal validity all laid out. Way better than a word doc and a set of line items. The goal is to increase your sales rate.

  • Sticky bottom bar with the total + sign-and-pay shortcut
  • Address, crew, dates pulled from the project
  • Hero photo of the deck as you envision it, conceptual, based on your design, or whatever image you want

02 · The plan

Top-down with footings, joists, every dimension.

Dimensions in → architectural drawing out. Pergola overlay, fire-pit zones, stairs, lit risers, paver landing — all rendered to scale and labeled. The math (sqft, perimeter, footing count, joist count) sits to the right.

  • Auto-computes sqft, railing lf, footing count
03 · The materials

What it's actually made of.

Two cards — decking and railing — each with the brand, line, colorway, surface area or linear-foot count, warranty, and a one-line care note. The trade-offs that drive the decision are right where the homeowner needs them.

  • Pull from your materials library; or swap inline
  • Warranty length appears as a badge on the swatch
  • Honest care notes ("hose off", "annual oil")

Customer proposal · stages
04 · The stages

Eight stages. Every line transparent.

Demo, permit, footings, frame, surface, railing, stairs, lighting & final. Each stage has a one-line description, three component tags, and a price. No "to be billed at job's end." Nothing hidden.

  • Material and labor included on every line
  • Tags show exactly what's in each stage
  • Add-ons highlighted separately from base scope
05 · Pay & sign

Staged so they only pay for work that's done.

The total breakdown shows tax and what's locked-in. Staged payments — deposit on signing, mid-payment when framing's up, balance when they walk on it. Then a tap-to-sign pad and a card or ACH deposit, in-flow. No print-sign-scan.

  • Stripe-secured. Funds held until walkthrough confirmed
  • ACH is 0% fee — bigger savings on bigger tickets

Proposal editor · two-pane
06 · And on your side

Click any section. Edit it. Send.

Everything above is built in one editor. Two panes: live document on the left exactly as the homeowner will see it; rail on the right with deck-specific cards — dimensions, materials, phases, schedule, staged payments, permit packet. Live total updates as you toggle phases on and off.

  • Click any section of the live document → edit it in the rail
  • Sqft, perimeter, footings, joists auto-derive from dimensions
  • Save draft, preview as homeowner, send

Generic contractor software doesn't fit decks.

Most "all-trades" tools were built for plumbers and electricians — service-call workflows, five-job dispatch boards, $300 invoices. A deck is one ticket, $15-50k, fifteen materials decisions, one permit, three site visits. The shape of the work is different.

1 job
per proposal — the deck. Not a service ticket with line items.
$15-50k
average ticket. Staged payments aren't optional, they're the only way.
3 visits
measure, footings inspection, final walkthrough. Schedule it once.
