Since moving to this system, managing projects has become much more efficient. The scheduling tools keep everyone aligned, and the payment system is simple with very competitive processing rates. Overall, it’s an excellent all-in-one solution for residential contractors looking to save time and win more work.

We’ve tried several contractor software platforms over the years, but this one stands out because of how easy it is to use. The AI estimating tools and draw takeoff feature have streamlined our workflow tremendously. It’s helped our team work faster while still keeping estimates detailed and accurate.

One of the best features is the live material pricing database. Having updated costs built directly into the platform helps us create accurate estimates quickly without constantly double-checking supplier pricing. It saves a huge amount of time and gives us more confidence when pricing jobs.

The onboarding experience was smooth from day one. The customer support team was responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful whenever we had questions. The scheduling and project management tools also make it much easier to keep our projects organized and on track.

We started using this platform a few months ago and the estimating speed alone has been a game changer for our company. What used to take hours now takes minutes, and the proposals look extremely professional. Clients are impressed with the presentation, and we’ve definitely noticed an increase in signed jobs since switching over.

it's a good software with good financial services

Software was extremely clunky and buggy upon signing up. Customer service is awful. Product is highly overpriced compared to alternatives that perform much better at half the price. Avoid this company.

Amazing process to get signed up and implement the product. Easy to use once we had it set up and totally changed the way we do business!

Great estimating software! We've doubled our win rate for booking jobs using their professional proposal generation feature. We also love the upsells and selections right from the quote, giving our customers a great experience when dealing with us too!

Bolster is the best estimating software we have used. We quote custom homes anywhere from $200k-$2m and Bolster is able to handle these estimates easily along with making the process very quick, in a matter of minutes rather than days, which is unheard of in the Custom Home Building industry. We highly recommend this software to other home builders or GCs.

This company will sell you on the fact that this is an all-in-one solution. For a start-up business, this sounds ideal. They claim that there is a 3-page website that can be utilized and that it's easy to sketch out a drawing for estimates. The reality is, they have an open API integration for connection to an already established website.

They do not have robust sketch software; you must upload a sketch or drawing into the system, then trace over it. You cannot add small jobs or even manage subs for a small job without first building a package to upload into the sketch.

If you have a debris removal job, where no sketch is necessary, and you want to manage subs, you have to go draw a sketch, then build out an estimate. Simply creating a few individual line items for a job is not possible.

This is clunky and not a good project management or sub management software for everyday small jobs. Their front-end proposal to the client is nice for jobs requiring a lot of different material selection. The proposal is laid out nicely and has a great customer-facing feature. The software itself, for easy everyday construction use, with a small project, is horrible. We requested a refund, felt that we were misled during the initial sales meeting, and paid for a full year upfront. And the company gave us the shaft. The contract states that they are not required to give a refund. Think twice before going with this company. we will be writing to the attorney general, as we are likely not the only ones effected as well as the BBB. Use extreme caution. This company will respond to this post saying they've done nothing wrong, yet refused to refund anything after realizing the benefits of this software were not true.
