Crew building a raised wooden deck — still on site when the customer wants a number
Speed wins residential jobs — especially on weekends.

Why contractors switch

You lose jobs while you're still rebuilding the spreadsheet.

Measure the yard, drive home, open Word, second-guess your per-foot numbers, send it Monday. They've already gone with the crew who handed them a number Saturday.

PencilOut doesn't replace your pricing judgment. It gets your numbers on paper fast — with three material options homeowners actually understand.

What you quote every week

Built for outdoor structure work

Privacy fencing, decks, gates, pergolas — if you price by the foot and offer material upgrades, PencilOut fits how you already sell.

  1. Contractor measuring a wood fence with a tape measure

    Enter the job

    Linear feet, height, gates, removal, stain. Customer info and scope notes — two minutes in the backyard.

  2. Carpenter workbench with lumber and tools

    Set three options

    Wood, composite, iron — your per-foot rates. PencilOut runs the math and shows all three side by side.

  3. Construction worker sending a quote from his phone

    Send the PDF

    Branded estimate with scope, totals, deposit, and signature line. Download and text it before you pull out.

Everything you need

Focused quoting. Nothing extra.

No scheduling, dispatch, or inventory — just the fastest path from measurements to a signed estimate.

A quote that looks like you mean business.

  • Job address and scope notes
  • Three material options with line-item breakdown
  • Deposit amount and timeline
  • Signature line — ready to close
