Quick answer: remodeling estimating software

QuoteNovo is a one-time $265 Windows desktop application for estimating and invoicing. Remodeling contractors use it to create detailed estimates for room remodels and whole-home projects, organizing costs across phases, allowances, materials, and sub-trade line items. The software produces PDF proposals for homeowner presentation. It includes invoicing and a service library, supports 3 Windows computers, and has no monthly subscription. It does not include project management, scheduling, or online payments.

What your client receives

QuoteNovo helps contractors turn estimate details into a clean, customer-facing PDF proposal with line items, pricing, project information, and totals.

Remodeling contractors handle projects that often evolve as the work progresses - a kitchen renovation that starts with cabinets and counters may expand to include electrical upgrades, plumbing relocation, and tile work once the walls are open. Homeowners in this space expect a detailed written proposal that breaks out each phase and cost category before they commit, and they need the ability to track changes and approvals as decisions are made. QuoteNovo lets a remodeling contractor organize an estimate by phase - demo, rough-in, insulation, drywall, finish work - or by room, with separate line items for labor categories, material costs, allowances for items not yet selected, and any subcontracted scope priced in. When the customer approves the proposal, QuoteNovo converts it to an invoice to close the job without re-entering the scope details. As a Windows desktop tool sold at a one-time price, there is no monthly subscription adding overhead alongside material costs and subcontractor fees.

Why remodeling proposals need more than a single-line bid

  • Remodeling estimates with multiple phases, allowances, and sub-trades are difficult to organize in spreadsheets
  • Homeowners expect a detailed, polished proposal that breaks out costs clearly before signing
  • Change orders mid-project require quick estimate revisions and updated client documentation
  • Monthly SaaS fees are difficult to justify for smaller remodeling operations

How QuoteNovo fits room and whole-home remodeling work

  • Organize estimates by phase, trade, or room with clearly labeled line items
  • Include allowance line items for flooring, fixtures, or tile selections not yet finalized
  • Generate a professional PDF proposal that walks the homeowner through the entire scope
  • Revise estimates and re-export updated PDFs quickly when change orders arise
  • One-time $265 purchase with 3 licenses - no subscription overhead

Example use case

A remodeling contractor bidding a bathroom renovation can build an estimate with separate phases for demolition, plumbing rough-in, tile installation, vanity and fixture installation, and finish labor - including an allowance line item for the tile selection the homeowner has not finalized. The homeowner receives a phased PDF proposal that shows cost by scope, approves it before work starts, and the estimate converts to an invoice at project completion without any duplicate data entry.

When QuoteNovo is not the right fit for remodeling contractors

QuoteNovo is not full accounting software. It does not include payroll, bank feeds, tax filing, bank reconciliation, or deep bookkeeping reports. Businesses that need those capabilities should use QuickBooks or dedicated accounting software alongside or instead of QuoteNovo.

QuoteNovo is not the right fit if you need:

  • Remodelers who need project management, scheduling, or subcontractor coordination tools
  • Businesses requiring cloud-based collaboration or mobile access on job sites
  • Operations needing payroll, expense tracking, or full accounting software

Frequently Asked Questions

Have a question not answered here? admin@quotenovo.com

Yes. QuoteNovo lets you label each line item however makes sense for the project, so you can group costs by demolition, rough-in, framing, electrical, plumbing, finish carpentry, and punch-out as separate phases on a single estimate. Room-by-room organization also works well - kitchen costs separated from bathroom costs on a whole-floor remodel, for example. The description field on each line item supports as much detail as you need, so you can note the specific scope, material spec, or subcontract assignment alongside the price. This level of organization helps homeowners follow the proposal without needing to call you to understand what each number covers.
Yes. Allowance line items are one of the most useful tools in remodeling estimates because homeowners often have not selected final materials - tile, flooring, fixtures, or countertop - before the work starts. You can add an allowance with a clearly labeled description and a budgeted dollar amount, so the homeowner understands what the allowance covers and what the cost basis is. If the homeowner selects a material that exceeds or falls under the allowance, you can adjust the estimate before converting it to an invoice, producing an updated PDF that reflects the actual cost. Documenting allowances in writing from the start reduces end-of-project disputes about what was and was not included in the original price.
Yes. Change orders are a normal part of remodeling work, and QuoteNovo makes it straightforward to edit an existing estimate, add new line items, adjust quantities or prices, and export a new PDF at any time. The revised PDF gives the homeowner a clear record of what changed and what the updated total is before work continues - which is important for managing expectations on larger projects where the scope evolves as walls come down. For small additions like an extra outlet, a plumbing relocation, or upgraded materials, you can either edit the original estimate or build a separate change-order estimate the homeowner approves independently. Having all scope changes documented in writing protects both you and the client.
No. QuoteNovo is focused on estimating and invoicing - it does not include project scheduling, task management, subcontractor coordination tools, or cloud-based collaboration features. For remodelers who need to track job progress, assign tasks to subcontractors, or manage project timelines, a dedicated project management tool would handle those functions separately. Many small remodeling contractors use QuoteNovo for the estimate and invoice side of the business and manage project communication through a calendar, text messages, or email - keeping the software cost low while maintaining organized client documentation. If your primary need is professional written proposals and clean invoices, QuoteNovo covers that scope without requiring you to pay for features you will not use.
No. QuoteNovo is a one-time $265 purchase with no monthly or annual fee. For remodeling contractors, that means your software cost does not compound as you take on more projects or as subscription prices increase. The purchase covers 3 Windows licenses - office PC, home PC, and laptop - with no additional charge. You own the software outright with no account to maintain or subscription to cancel during slower project seasons.
