For Remodeling Contractors

Remodelers: build the estimate before you're back in the truck. Not three days later.

A full kitchen or bath remodel used to mean a night at the kitchen table with a spreadsheet, two supplier quotes you're still waiting on, and a homeowner who's already talked to two other contractors by the time you send your number. Evalation's AI turns a walkthrough into a real, priced estimate in about five minutes, and keeps the CRM, the schedule, and the invoicing for that job in the same system, so the number you send is the number you can actually build from.

It's 9:40pm and the kitchen job still isn't quoted. Neither is tomorrow.

You walked the Petersen job at two o'clock. Full kitchen gut, moved plumbing, opened the wall to the dining room. You told them you'd have a number by the end of the week, because that's what it actually takes: measure everything twice, price cabinets from two suppliers, guess at what's behind that wall, build it in a spreadsheet, then rebuild it once the electrician's quote comes in higher than expected.

Now it's Tuesday night. The spreadsheet is open in one tab. Your notes app has the room dimensions in another. The tile supplier's text is still unanswered. And somewhere in your email is last month's change order for the Reyes bathroom that still isn't invoiced, because between running two crews and returning calls, invoicing is the thing that waits.

By the time the Petersens get your number, they've had two other contractors walk the job already. Whoever answers first with a real number usually wins it.

Whoever sends the real number first usually gets the job.

Everything a remodeling business runs on, in one system. Not four.

CORR (Company, Operations, Relations, and Revenue) is a category of business platform that runs a contractor's entire company in one system, replacing the separate CRM, estimating, project management, and accounting tools contractors traditionally stitch together. Read more about what CORR means. For a remodeling business, four things matter most. If your work also includes ground-up additions or you act as the general contractor on larger scopes, see how Evalation supports that side of the business at /for/general-contractors.

AI Estimates in About 5 Minutes

Walk the space, note the scope, take a few photos, enter your measurements the way you already do. Evalation's AI turns that into a full remodel proposal, itemized or summarized, in about five minutes instead of a night at the kitchen table. Adjust it the moment the tile supplier's quote comes back higher than you priced.

One Pipeline for Every Referral

Remodeling leads come in messy: a referral from a plumber, a call from last year's client's neighbor, a form fill from your website. Evalation keeps every lead, every past client, and every open conversation in one pipeline, so nobody gets missed because nobody emailed back fast enough.

Every Job, Every Sub, One Calendar

A remodel touches more trades than almost any other job on your board: framing, plumbing, electrical, drywall, tile, paint. Evalation's scheduling keeps every phase and every sub assigned to a date, so you're not the one holding the whole timeline in your head at nine o'clock at night.

Progress Billing and Change Orders, Handled

Remodels get billed in phases, and scope changes the moment you open a wall. Evalation tracks progress billing and change orders against the original estimate automatically, instead of living in a separate invoicing tool you update by hand. Evalation costs $297 per month for the first 50 founding members, locked for life, with no per-user fees. Adding a bookkeeper or a project manager to the account doesn't add a bill, no matter which tier you join at, because the price you join at is the price you pay for life.

No remodeling case study yet. Here's what we can tell you instead.

Most software pages like this one would show you a homeowner's face when a 3D model of their project appears on screen. That's real, and it's live inside Evalation Lab today for decks, pergolas, concrete pads, and fencing. It isn't built for full remodels yet, because a gut renovation or an addition doesn't reduce to a single walkthrough model the way a deck does. We'd rather tell you that directly than let a screenshot imply otherwise.

We also don't have a remodeling contractor's numbers to put on this page yet. Evalation is early with this trade specifically, and a made-up quote would cost us more than an honest gap costs us today.

Here's what we can tell you. Evalation's founder, David Bassett, built and exited a $5.3 million construction company before he built this software.4 Every piece of Evalation, the CRM, the estimating, the scheduling, the invoicing, was built to solve the problems that ran his own jobs, not to fit a generic template. If you run a remodeling business off a truck console, a kitchen table, and half a dozen browser tabs, this was built by somebody who ran a business that way too.

When we have a real remodeling contractor's results to show you, they will replace this section. Until then, judge the system on what it does with your own next estimate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Evalation do 3D design for remodels?

Not yet. Evalation Lab's live 3D design and auto-generated blueprints currently cover decks, pergolas, concrete pads, and fencing. If your business also takes on those scopes, you get Lab access for those jobs. For interior remodels, additions, and full kitchen or bath gut jobs, Evalation's AI estimating, CRM, scheduling, and invoicing run the rest of the business.

How does a 5-minute estimate work for a job as complicated as a kitchen remodel?

You walk the space, note the scope, take photos, and enter measurements the way you already do. Evalation's AI builds a full line-item or summarized proposal from that input in about five minutes, priced against your own cost data. It's a starting number you refine, not a final quote you can't touch, so there's still room to adjust once you see what's behind the wall.

What does Evalation cost for a remodeling company with a few employees?

$297 a month for the first 50 founding members, locked for life, no matter how many people on your team use it. The next 500 members lock in at $416 a month for life, and tiered plans follow after that. There's no per-seat charge like Jobber, Housecall Pro, or JobTread, and no quote-only sales call like Buildertrend or ServiceTitan. See the full breakdown at /pricing.

We already use JobTread. Is switching worth it?

JobTread is built for a similar custom builder and remodeler workflow, so the comparison is a fair one. See the full breakdown at /compare/jobtread. The short version: JobTread's pricing adds a per-seat charge as you add users beyond the base plan, and Evalation's flat rate, whether you join at the $297 founding rate or the $416 rate that follows, doesn't change with headcount.

What happens to our existing jobs, clients, and job history if we switch software?

Evalation's migration process is built to move your data in, not make you start over. The Moving Truck Guarantee covers the switch: "If it doesn't win you more jobs in 90 days, you get every dollar back and we'll move you anywhere you want to go. Free." Moving your site's SEO history is part of the same process.

Quote the next job before you're back in the truck. Not three days from now.
