Truck's parked. Three quotes
still to write.
Say the job out loud. Send the estimate before you're through the front door.
What it is
A voice memo that comes back as an estimate.
Say the job — rooms, quantities, days — like you'd tell your crew.
RenoLog pulls out the line items. Your price book prices them.
Two PDFs land in your email: one for the homeowner, one with your costs.
…three-twenty square feet…

The demo
“Okay, Henderson job, living room and hallway. Rip out the old laminate, three-twenty square feet, that's going in the bin. Subfloor's fine, maybe a bit of levelling compound by the patio door, call it one bag. New engineered oak, they went with the natural, three-twenty plus ten for waste. Quarter-round, hundred and forty feet. Two transitions. Me and Marco, two days. Oh, and some of the baseboard by the front closet is rotted. We'll see.”

The flag
It won’t guess for you.
Say “some baseboard” and you get a line with a flag on it, not a made-up number. Measure it, type the quantity, and it prices from your book like everything else. Name something that isn’t in your price book yet and that gets flagged too — never invented.

The estimate
This is what your customer receives.
The rules
The AI never touches a number.
Never invents a price.
Every dollar comes from your price book. If an item isn't in it, RenoLog flags it instead of guessing.
Never rounds.
Unit price times quantity equals the line total, on every row, every time. The math is done in code, not by the model.
Never changes your rates.
Your prices are yours. The AI only reads the job; it can't edit what you charge.
Not a CRM. Won't replace Jobber or Housecall Pro. Does one thing — and does it unmetered.
How it works
From voice memo to signed estimate in three steps
Talk through the job
Sit in the truck and say the job the way you'd tell your partner: what's coming out, what's going in, how many days. Or talk it through as you walk the rooms — RenoLog doesn't care where you are.
- 400 sqft oak
2 day labourYour price book does the math
Every line is matched to your own rates, with minimum charges, overhead and margin applied the same way every time. Anything it can't match is flagged for you, never guessed.
Send a branded PDF
Out comes a numbered estimate with your logo and accent colour, plus an internal copy showing cost, margin and loading side by side.
Estimating software for renovation contractors
Nothing is invented
If a line can't be matched to your price book, RenoLog flags it and asks you for the quantity and rate instead of quietly filling in a plausible number.
Customer and internal copies
Send the customer a clean, branded estimate. Keep an internal copy showing cost, overhead, margin and the arithmetic behind each line.

Why I built RenoLog
I spent the past year building websites for renovation contractors, and every one of them had the same routine: measure all day, then sit at the kitchen table at 10pm writing up quotes. RenoLog is the tool I kept wishing existed for them — you talk, it prices from your own rates, and the evening is yours again.

Questions
Questions contractors ask
Say them. Talk through your rates once — square-foot, hourly, daily, flat fees, minimums — the same way you'd tell a new guy, and RenoLog builds your price book from it. Or paste your rates in as text and it'll build the book from that. Either way you review every number before it's saved, and from then on every estimate uses your book automatically.
Your price book, your prices, set up with you.
