Can I price by square foot?

Yes. Add a line item with a per-square-foot price and quantity. The total updates as you adjust the dimensions.

Can I quote multiple material options on one estimate?

Yes. Add a line item per option. Your client sees the price difference and signs the one they want.

Does it handle deposits before lumber delivery?

Yes. Send the deposit invoice the moment the estimate is signed. Card or ACH. Your client pays online.

Can I attach a deck design or sketch?

Yes. Photos and PDFs attach to the estimate. Your client confirms the design before any post holes are dug.

Why deck builders use Homefront Pro

The parts of running a deck builder business that we've made easier

Pricing per square foot is fiddly

Set unit pricing for framing, decking, railings, and stairs. Punch in the dimensions and the total recalculates. Send the estimate from the driveway.

Material choices change the price fast

Composite vs. cedar vs. pressure-treated: three line items, three prices. Your client picks the build and signs the one they want.

Big deposits feel risky for homeowners

Client portal, e-signed estimate, online deposit. Your client sees a real business before they cut you a check for $8k of lumber.
