Judge the software on the paperwork it produces.
Instead of asking you to trust a testimonial, we publish complete worked examples for every project type — nothing hidden behind the paywall.
A complete materials takeoff
Every board, bag and box with quantities, unit prices, waste allowance and a ZIP-indexed total — no blurred rows.
The cut list and permit checkpoints
The same cut sheet your crew works from, plus the setback, footing and inspection items to confirm with your building department.
The client PDF itself
Download the actual estimate document a customer receives, generated from the calculator output on the page.
Fair questions, straight answers.
Can I cancel anytime?+
Yes. Cancel with one click in the billing portal. You keep access through the end of your paid period, then drop back to Free — your projects are never deleted.
Is there really a money-back guarantee?+
Yes — 30 days, no questions asked. Email support and we'll refund the full amount through our payment provider.
What's the difference between $9 unlock and Pro?+
The $9 unlock is a one-time payment for a single project — great if you're only building one thing. Pro is $19/month for unlimited projects, 300 AI assistant messages a month, and PDF blueprints for everything you plan.
Do estimates match what I'll actually pay at the store?+
We use current U.S. big-box reference prices and industry-standard waste factors. Expect ±5–10% depending on your region. The shopping list is designed so you can hand it to the pro desk without a rewrite.
Do I need to be technical to use this?+
No. If you can answer 'How long is your fence?' you can use it. Zero engineering jargon.
