Same estimate. More than a PDF.
Send the file you already priced. What comes back was built for this job and this customer — not last week's document with a new name on the front.
- Their scope, in plain words
- Jobs like theirs, and reviews to match
- Your prices, exactly
- They ask right on the page
Free access while we're in beta.
Here it is. Watch it from their side.
Not a tour of the software — the thing your customer actually gets. A link or an email arrives, they open it on their phone or their computer, and everything they were wondering about is already in front of them.
This is more than a nicer template.
A template is a document. This is a page — and a page can do things a document physically cannot.
A page, not an attachment
It opens in their browser and fits their phone. No login, no app, no pinching and zooming into a table of numbers.
They can ask questions
Your client can ask about any section, right on the page, and you get notified.
You know when they opened it
How often they came back, and when they pulled the PDF — usually to show somebody else.
A PDF only if they want one
The same pages, your name on the file. Their choice, not the only way in.
You're not losing on price. You're losing on everything the price doesn't say.
A typical proposal only answers what it costs. Your customer is asking a lot more.
| A template proposal | A Finishwork proposal | |
|---|---|---|
| Did they understand what I want? | Not in it | The job in plain words |
| Have they done a job like mine? | Not in it | Photos of finished work like it |
| Can I trust them? | Not in it | Reviews, license, insurance, and the crew |
| What happens next? | Not in it | A timeline from first call to handoff |
| What does it cost? | The line items | The line items, where the money goes, and what isn't included |
| “Wait, what's this line?” | They call you. Or they don't. | They ask right on that line, and you see it, along with every time they opened it. |
Keep your existing workflow. Just win more of the projects you bid.
Upload the estimate or proposal you already have, and Finishwork handles the rest. Nothing to set up, connect, or switch from.
You never describe the job to us. You already did that when you priced it.
Finishwork checks your numbers as it reads them and flags anything that looks off, so you can confirm it before the proposal goes out.
AI that isn't allowed near your numbers.
Every tool in this category will offer to write your proposal from a description of the job. We won't. You send the file you already priced, and the numbers come from there.
What it does do
Plays the job back in plain words. Sorts one flat list into the trades a homeowner recognizes. Brings forward the finished jobs and customer words that fit this job, not whatever happened most recently.
And it draws where the money goes — every dollar and percent arithmetic on your own numbers.
“We win about two out of ten. The proposal is the most important document we send — if something moves that even half a point, it's worth it.”
Bay Area general contractor
Design-build, ADUs and remodels
Half a point on ten bids is a quarter more revenue, on the same leads, the same crew and the same prices.
It isn't only about price. Any gain in your odds is worth having, and on jobs this size even a small one is real money.
Nobody is promising you that number — it's one contractor's read on their own business. Run the same arithmetic on yours.
Built for bids that get compared.
This is for you if
- You're a GC, remodeler, or a trade bidding whole projects — concrete, framing, foundations.
- Your proposal sits next to two others on a kitchen table.
- The scope is complex enough that it needs explaining.
- Winning one changes your quarter.
It isn't for
- Service calls and dispatch work — a drain unclogged, a unit serviced.
- Quotes that are one line and a number.
- Anything decided in five minutes without comparing.
If that's your work, you don't need this, and we'd rather say so.

The five questions everyone asks.
Do I have to change how I estimate?
No. Price the job exactly where you price it now and send us the file. There is no integration to wait for and no account to connect.
Can it get my prices wrong?
It cannot type a number. Every figure comes from your file or your keyboard, and anything it could not read comes back flagged for you to check before it goes anywhere.
What does my customer need to open it?
Just a phone or a computer. Finishwork makes a real web page they open from a link, with no app and no login. If you'd rather, you can still send the PDF, the way you always have.
How long does setup take?
We do it, not you. Send your website and a few old proposals, then give us an hour on a call. You are sending real proposals the same week.
What does it cost?
Nothing while we are in beta. No card, no usage limits (within reason), nothing to cancel. When it does cost something you will hear it from us first, and you can walk.
You already did the hard part.
The site visit, the takeoff, the hours getting the pricing right. All of that is spent before the customer reads a word. This is the only part left that still changes the answer.
