Tiered design quotes

Send Good/Better/Best options (pressure-treated, composite, premium) so the customer picks a price instead of asking for one. Approve and sign on the phone.

Deposits and progress billing

Collect a deposit to order lumber, then bill draws at framing and completion. Roooster keeps the money aligned with the build stages.

Multi-day build scheduling

Block the crew across the full build, not just one day. Roooster tracks material lead times so you don't start a job the decking hasn't arrived for.

Photo progress and change orders

Document each stage with photos and log change orders as they happen, so the final invoice lines up with the built job and helps head off arguments.

Designed to get you up and running the same day you sign up.

Common questions.

Can I send tiered material options in one quote?
Yes. Build Good/Better/Best options (pressure-treated, composite, premium hardwood) into a single quote so the customer chooses a price point. They approve and sign on their phone, and the accepted option flows straight into the schedule.
How do deposits and progress payments work?
Collect a deposit to fund the lumber order, then bill draws at framing and at completion. Roooster automates each charge so your cash tracks the build stages instead of waiting until the last board is in.
Can it schedule a multi-day build around material lead times?
Block the crew across the whole build and note material arrival dates. Roooster keeps the start date honest so you're not framing a deck the composite hasn't shipped for yet.
How do I handle change orders mid-build?
Log a change order the moment the customer asks for the extra bump-out or upgraded railing, with the price and a photo. The final invoice reflects what was built, which helps head off disputes at the end.
Can I document the job with photos?
Capture footings, framing, and the finished deck on the job record. The photos back up your progress billing and give you a portfolio to show the next customer shopping for a build.
