For remodelers, whose client lives in the job.

A remodel is a homeowner watching every day, a scope that grows behind the drywall, and a crew that is never on one job for long. Groundflag keeps the client informed, the extras signed and the hours on the right job.

What matters most in a remodel

• The extra, signed before the work.

  Open the wall, find the rot, send a change order from the job. The homeowner approves it on the phone with their name and consent, and the contract, budget and next invoice update.

• A homeowner who knows where things stand.

  The client portal shows their estimate, contract, change orders, invoices and files, and takes payment by card.

• A deposit to start.

  Ask for the deposit with the estimate; the homeowner pays right after accepting.

• The daily log they will actually keep.

  The lead carpenter taps a button and talks; Groundflag drafts the log with photos, and they sign.

Small crew, many jobs

Crews clock in from the phone and the job is picked when they stand on it, so hours land on the right kitchen and bath. The schedule's 21-day lookahead shows who is where next week. Groundflag is one price per company, so the office manager, every lead and the part-time helper all log in.

Selections the homeowner signs

Put the faucet, tile or vanity options on the job with photos and prices against the allowance. The homeowner picks one and signs on the portal; going over the allowance drafts the change order for you.
