Why flat pricing
Why contractors switch
Purpose-built for the estimate-to-invoice handoff that residential remodelers actually run.
One place for estimates, approvals, photos, invoices, and client communication.
Flat-rate pricing so growing your team does not mean buying more seats.
Outcome-focused workflow
Build polished estimates, send them fast, and keep follow-up moving before leads go cold.
Give homeowners one clean place to review scope, approve change orders, pay invoices, and track progress.
Store job photos, paperwork, and updates together so the office and field stay on the same page.
Track leads, notes, and next steps so every inquiry has a clear path to estimate.
Create detailed estimates from your costbook, then deliver contracts and signatures without extra tools.
Keep photos, approvals, invoices, and client communication tied to the job from start to finish.
What makes it different
Sales
Pipeline visibility, estimate creation, and cleaner next steps help you move work forward instead of chasing it in texts and spreadsheets.
Client experience
Clients can review proposals, sign, pay, and see progress in one place, which reduces confusion and back-and-forth.
Operations
Keep the field and office aligned with documentation that is easy to find when questions come up.
Financial control
Handle invoices and payments in the same system, then keep your books moving with QuickBooks sync.
Built from the field
Trade Tool was built inside an active remodeling company — every feature ships from real jobsite problems, not a product roadmap.
“I got tired of running my company across five apps that didn't talk to each other. So I built Trade Tool — every feature is something I needed on a jobsite that week, not a spec some PM dreamed up.”
Designed around the real sales-to-production handoff residential remodelers actually deal with.
Flat $150/mo with no seat fees or upsells — built for small crews, not enterprise budgets.
Most contractors are sending estimates within the first hour of signing up.
AI-powered workflow
Turn a rough job description into a polished scope of work in seconds.
Know which leads are most likely to close before you pick up the phone.
AI-drafted follow-up emails and texts ready to send when a lead goes cold.
Works with the tools you already use
Simple pricing
Get the core workflow contractors actually need, without paying enterprise pricing just to keep your team in sync.
Competitor pricing references use public plan information and may change over time.
