Plumbline
Renovation estimates · on demand
Plumbline prices tear-off, materials, labor and permits off a maintained regional catalog, then hands the job back as a low/high band with a contingency line. A number you can put in front of a client without hedging, before the callback week starts.

What you receive
Roof replacement, 2,400 sqft in Austin — submitted with a scope note, returned about two minutes later.
Every row carries the catalog rate that priced it. The contingency sits in the high end.

How it works
Address, scope notes, square footage, finish level. A two-minute form — the same four things you'd ask on a first call.
The regional catalog rates labor and materials for that market, adds a permit allowance, and carries a contingency band instead of one optimistic number.
Line items, ranges, and per-line notes — copy-ready for a proposal, and stored so the next similar job starts from a known number.
Inside every delivery
Tear-off, materials, labor, permits — each trade priced on its own row, so the client sees where the money goes and the negotiation stays about scope.
A low/high band with the contingency stated out loud. $18,400 – $21,900 survives a change order; a single number blows up mid-job.
Every estimate stays in your estimates table. Four jobs in, you're quoting off your own history instead of re-deriving the same roof.
Who's behind this
Producing catalog-based renovation estimates since 2025.
We were losing two evenings a week to estimate requests that never signed — measuring, pricing, formatting, sending, silence. Plumbline runs our actual cost catalog against the scope instead. The client gets a real range the same afternoon, and the evenings go to jobs that are actually happening.

FAQ
It's a bid-quality starting point, not a signed contract. Lines come from a maintained regional catalog of labor and material costs with the contingency band stated explicitly — which is why the output is a range. Walk the property before you sign; use the sheet to decide whether walking it is worth your evening.
Plumbline covers US metros, localized to the property's region. When a line can't be localized, the estimate says so on that row instead of quietly substituting an average — you'll always know which numbers are regional and which need your own rate.
Yes. The breakdown is plain, copy-ready text — paste the line items into your template with your logo, terms, and margin. Nothing is locked behind an export, and every estimate stays in your dashboard to pull from later.
