Live 3D design for the trades that sell in the yard, five-minute AI estimates for everyone else, and the finished number handed over while you're still standing with the homeowner.
You walked the job, measured everything, and left with a handshake and a promise. By the time your estimate lands in their inbox, two competitors' numbers are sitting next to it, and all three look the same: a price on a page.
The homeowner doesn't remember what made your version of the job different. They never saw it. The days between the visit and the number are where your close rate leaks.
Evalation collapses those days into the visit itself. The design happens in front of them, the price follows it, and the decision gets made while you're the only contractor in the room.
Evalation is built so a residential contractor can price and close a job on the first visit.
One iPad or one phone, and the job goes from walkthrough to signed without a second appointment.
Decks, pergolas, concrete, and fencing get Evalation Lab: the homeowner watches their project take shape in 3D, and the model becomes the blueprint and the estimate. See it at /for/deck-builders.
No 3D for your trade yet? The AI estimating workflow still prices the job from your own rates in about five minutes, on site.
Invoice from your phone and take payment on the spot. Payments run on Stripe. Card processing from 3.1%, bank transfer (ACH) for less. No monthly payment fees, no hidden add-ons.
If they need to sleep on it, the follow-up sequence starts on its own instead of living in your memory. Every lead, quote, and job stays in one system.
Measure and scope with the homeowner beside you. For the Lab trades, the 3D model builds while they watch.
The priced estimate is ready in about five minutes, from your own rates, with a clean summary the homeowner can actually read.
Send the invoice from your phone and take the deposit by card or ACH on the spot. If they need a night, the follow-up runs itself.
For the live 3D trades, an iPad running Evalation Lab. For everything else, your phone covers the estimate, the send, and the payment.
You adjust it in the same session and the model and estimate rebuild in front of them, in real time.
Yes. Send the invoice from your phone and collect by card or ACH on the spot. Money lands in one to two days.
Then send it from the truck five minutes later, or from home that evening. The point of Evalation is that waiting becomes a choice instead of a bottleneck.
Evalation is built for residential contractors doing $700K to $3.5M a year who have outgrown entry-level tools but refuse enterprise pricing and enterprise implementation.
Evalation costs $297 per month for the first 50 founding members, locked for life, with no per-user fees. Every membership starts with a free 14-day trial. Full breakdown at /pricing.
Switching takes four clicks, and the Moving Truck Guarantee backs it: "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." See the side-by-side against your current tool at /compare/joist.
Design it, price it, and close it on the first visit. The second appointment becomes the exception, not the process.
Free 14-day trial, then the Founding Member rate.
