See it with your own plans
We'll run a takeoff on your actual project—free.
Takeoffs shouldn't take days.
You're a siding contractor, not a spreadsheet jockey. But here you are—measuring PDFs, counting windows, triple-checking linear feet, manually pricing every line item. Three days later, you finally send the quote.
By then, your competitor already won the job.
The Old Way
Manually gather measurements
Enter into spreadsheet, double-check formulas
Look up pricing, calculate waste factors
Format quote, hope you didn't miss anything
Result: Exhausted, second-guessing your numbers, and hoping the client hasn't already signed with someone else.

We only do exteriors.
That's the point.
Generic takeoff software tries to do everything—framing, electrical, plumbing, HVAC. They're a mile wide and an inch deep.
Estimate.ai goes deep on what you actually do: James Hardie specs, LP SmartSide waste factors, GAF shingle calculations, window rough openings, gutter runs. The details that matter for exterior work.
