    THE REAL COST

    3-5 hours per contract
    adds up fast.

    Writing contracts by hand eats hours. Scope, material specs, payment schedules, required notices, revisions, chasing signatures: it adds up on every job.

    YOUR TIME

    4+ hours gone on paperwork alone.

    You haven't written a word of scope yet and you're already 45 minutes into materials, an hour into payment schedules and another hour into notices. Every job. That's a Saturday, or an evening, you don't get back.

    What it actually costs you
    $0
    per contract in your time
    YOUR LICENSE

    One wrong contract. Serious consequences.

    California home improvement contracts can require specific notices, language and formatting. Missing or incorrect requirements can create licensing, payment, lien, cancellation or enforceability risk depending on the transaction and rule involved.

    Why it matters
    Statutory risk
    Contract defects can create payment, lien, cancellation or enforceability risk.
    YOUR MONEY

    Hours you don't bill add up.

    Every hour on contract paperwork is an hour you didn't bill. Do the math for your own shop: jobs per year × hours per contract × your hourly rate.

    Example only — your numbers will differ
    Your rate × your hours
    Example: 32 contracts × 4 hrs × $125/hr = $16,000/year
    COVERAGE

    Every state has its own rules.
    We are launching in California first.

    California comes first. Other states get added only after we've done state-specific product and legal review for each one.

    HOW IT WORKS

    Three steps.
    One signed contract.

    The software handles the repetitive contract work. You stay in control.

    01~90 seconds

    Enter the job.

    Describe the homeowner, project, scope, materials and pricing in plain English. You won't be hunting through forms or digging into dropdown menus.

    02Rule-based checks

    Build and review the draft.

    AI helps with scope and materials, and rule-based checks flag anything missing or inconsistent. You can edit every section, and nothing goes out until you've reviewed and approved it.

    ✓Scope language — California-focused formatting
    ✓Materials list — brand + model captured
    ✓Payment schedule — rule-based checks
    ✓Statutory notice sections — inserted for review
    ✓Cancellation-related information — included for review
    03Full audit trail captured

    Send and sign.

    The homeowner gets a secure signing link. When they sign, the executed PDF and audit trail stay together, with IP, timestamp and device recorded.
