Estimating software for residential remodelers

Write remodeling estimates in minutes, priced from your own rates.

Loden is built for remodelers who write their own estimates. Describe the job in plain English and get a line-by-line estimate from your labor rates, with the math on every line. I set up your rate library for you.

Sample rates. Your estimates use your own, and materials are added on the next step.

Priced from your numbers, not the market’s.

Your rates, line by line.Loden picks the work and the quantities. The price on every line comes from your own rate library, so the estimate reflects what you charge, not a market average.

The math is on the page.Every line shows quantity times rate. If a number looks off, you can see why and change it before the estimate goes out.

Quotes you can repeat.Price the same job twice and the total should match, so you never have to explain why Tuesday’s number was different from Friday’s. Loden prices only the work you describe, with no surprise extras.

How the free demo works.

Send one past estimate.

A photo or PDF is fine. Pick a job you remember well.

I run it through Loden.

I build a small rate library from your line items and rates, then price the same job, or a new one you describe.

You compare.

You get the estimate back with the math shown. If it matches what you would have quoted, we talk about setting up the rest of your library. If not, you have lost nothing.

The founding offer for the first 5 contractors.

A free demo first.We test Loden on one of your own past estimates before you decide anything.

Your rate library, built for you.Send your past estimates or price sheet. I turn them into your library and go through it with you until the rates are right.

The rest of your office, included.Customer proposals your clients can sign online, invoices with deposits and partial payments, a job pipeline with photos, a calendar and task list, and a customer list. One login, no add-on fees.

A quarterly rate check.Every quarter I offer a short review of your labor rates so the library does not go stale. Use it or skip it.

A direct line to me.Questions and fixes come to me, not a help desk, and small changes to your rates are done within two days.

Founding price, locked in.The first five contractors get the lowest price Loden will ever have, and it stays that way while you are a member.

Happy with your first three estimates, or your money back.

I will fix your rates until Loden’s estimates look right to you. If your first three estimates still are not ones you would be comfortable sending to a customer, I will refund everything you have paid.

When five contractors have joined, founding pricing closes.

Questions you might have.

What if an estimate is wrong?You review every line and can change anything before it goes out. If a rate is off, I fix it in your library so the next job comes out right.

What does it cost?Founding members get a locked-in price. I will give you the number after you have seen your own estimate, so you can judge it against the result.
