Stop Relying on Spreadsheets. Track Labor, Materials, and Change Orders in Real-Time for $29/month.

That's the Fake Profit Trap. You're mistaking cash flow for profitability. In reality, your margin was eaten by un-tracked Labor Burden and Material Variance months before the bank account caught up.

😤

The Change Order You Never Got Paid For

"The homeowner asked you to move three outlets and add a ceiling fan while you were already in the walls. "Just add it to the bill." You didn't write it up. They dispute the final invoice. You eat $1,800."

The Labor Budget That Quietly Exploded

"You estimated 80 hours of carpentry. Your guy had a slow week — moisture issues, wrong materials delivered. He logged 112 hours. You found out when you did payroll, not when you could still do something about it."

The Material Order You Forgot to Track

"The tile was back-ordered. You grabbed a different SKU from a second supplier to keep the job moving. That second invoice sat in your truck for 3 weeks. Never hit the job budget. Margin dropped 4 points."

None of these problems are your fault. They're all symptoms of not having visibility into your job in real time.

Software that thinks like a contractor

Get notified the moment a cost code goes 10% over budget. Catch the plumber's extra hours on day 4, before they become a $6,000 finale surprise.

👷

Draw Billing

Generate clean progress invoices the day you hit each milestone. No more stacking up 3 weeks of work before you bill. Cash flow improves immediately.

Job Profitability Report

After closeout, see exactly where you made money and where you lost it. Use it to estimate your next similar job 30% more accurately.

The same three problems, every time.

Before building RemodelFin, we talked to dozens of remodeling contractors. Here's what they consistently said.

"I find out I lost money too late."

The most common pattern: contractors complete a job, collect payment, then discover weeks later their margin was gutted by uncaptured costs. By then there is nothing left to fix.

📐

"I keep confusing markup with margin."

Charging 30% markup to hit a 30% margin is a $0 profit business. This single math error costs remodeling contractors tens of thousands per year — and most don't know they're making it.

🤝

"Change orders always turn into arguments."

Without real-time numbers on hand, contractors can't present clean change order documentation on the spot. The client pushes back. The contractor backs down. Free work gets done.

Contractors shouldn't have to be accountants to stay in business.

I saw too many remodeling contractors doing incredible work but slowly going broke. They weren't failing because they weren't good at their trade — they were failing because they couldn't see their real costs until it was too late.

Modern ERP software like Buildertrend is too complex and expensive. Excel is too fragile. I built RemodelFin to be the middle ground: High-fidelity job costing that takes 5 minutes a day, for only $29/month, so you always know your real profit margin.

What is job costing software for remodeling contractors?

Job costing software tracks every dollar a contractor spends on a project — labor hours, material purchases, subcontractor invoices, and overhead allocations — and compares that spending against the original estimate in real time. The goal is to give the contractor a live profit margin figure at any point during the project, not six weeks after it closes.

According to the NAHB Cost of Doing Business Study, the average residential remodeling contractor operates on a gross margin of 28–35% before overhead. Uncaptured cost overruns — particularly in labor burden and materials — are the most common cause of margin erosion in the trade.

RemodelFin is a job costing platform built specifically for remodeling contractors, priced at $29–$149/month, available as a web and mobile application. It was founded in 2024 and operates in the United States. It is a B2B SaaS product — not a lender or financing platform.
