Built for Deck Builders
DeskForeman handles your customer texts, qualifies leads, generates ballpark estimates for composite and pressure-treated builds, schedules site visits, and drafts proposals. You stay on the job site. It runs the pipeline.
You're setting joists or running a circular saw when a homeowner texts about a 16x20 composite deck with a pergola. By the time you reply, they've already gotten ballpark numbers from two other builders. According to industry surveys, up to 40% of homeowners won't hire a contractor who missed their first call. Your craftsmanship didn't matter because you never got the chance to show it.
Deck projects are complex: material choices (pressure-treated, composite, hardwood), structural requirements, multi-level designs, railing systems, integrated features. Customers have questions that a generic answering service can't handle. They want to know if Trex vs TimberTech matters for their budget, what a 400 sq ft deck typically costs in their area, whether their sloped yard needs extra engineering.
DeskForeman speaks deck. It knows the difference between a ground-level platform and a second-story walkout. It understands that composite decking at $8-12/sq ft installed is different from pressure-treated at $4-8/sq ft. It gathers project details naturally through conversation — dimensions, material preferences, features, access conditions — and generates a formula-based ballpark estimate calibrated to your actual pricing.
From the first customer text to the signed contract, DeskForeman handles the pipeline work so you can focus on building.
Customer texts at 2pm while you're on a joist? DeskForeman responds in seconds with knowledgeable, natural conversation. No scripts, no "we'll get back to you."
Ballpark estimates using per-square-foot industry rates for composite, pressure-treated, and hardwood. Adjusted for your region, material grade, and your actual pricing history.
DeskForeman scores every lead 0-100 based on project scope, budget alignment, timeline, and readiness. You see which leads are worth your time before you call back.
Automated follow-up sequences that add value each time — updated estimates, scheduling prompts, project tips. No more forgotten leads.
DeskForeman coordinates site visit timing with your calendar. The customer books directly through the conversation. No back-and-forth phone tag.
After the site visit, DeskForeman drafts the proposal and builds the contract. You review, approve, and it goes to the customer. Done.
