For remodeling contractors
Send one quote with good, better, and best options and extras to tick, take a deposit when it is signed, and bill each stage of the payment schedule as the work is done. Permits, drawings, and supplier quotes stay with the work.
What remodeling contractors use most
Sound familiar?
They want to see the kitchen with stock cabinets and with custom, with and without the island, so you rebuild the same quote three times.
With Stacwork
Send one proposal with pick-one tiers built from your catalog, and the extras as options the client ticks on or off before accepting.
The schedule was agreed over coffee at the kitchen table, demo is finished, and the client is not sure what they owe or when.
With Stacwork
Put the payment schedule in the proposal so the client signs it. It becomes the project's milestones, and you bill each one as the stage is done.
The inspector wants the permit, the cabinet shop needs the latest drawing, and the copy you need is always somewhere else.
With Stacwork
Keep the permit, the drawings, and the supplier's quotes on the project or the job, and open them from the office or a phone.
How it runs
A kitchen sold with three finish levels, a deposit at signing, and four stages billed as they are done.
Sample names and figures.
Kitchen remodel request
The Garcias describe their kitchen on your request form, and you turn it into a quote with the address carried over.
Quote with three finish levels
Standard, Mid, and Premium tiers, under-cabinet lighting as an extra to tick, an $8,000 deposit, and four payments by stage.
Mid chosen and signed
They pick Mid with the lighting at $48,000, sign on screen, and pay the deposit by bank.
Four stages, four milestones
Demolition, rough-in, cabinets, and finish become milestones at $12,000 each, with an owner and a due date.
Permit and drawings on the project
The permit, the cabinet drawings, and the supplier's quote are kept on the project, and your lead opens them from a phone on site.
Demolition stage billed
Demo is done, so you bill its $12,000 milestone, and the $8,000 deposit comes off on its own.
First stage paid
The Garcias pay the $4,000 balance from the pay link by bank transfer, and the invoice says paid once the transfer clears.

Keep each project's files and notes on it, from the office or a phone.

Materials carried onto the invoice
Record the materials used, and they carry onto the invoice too, with their tax.
Crew time logged at each person's rate
Log time on the job at your hourly rate, or a person's own, and billable time carries onto the invoice.
Bill each stage when it is done
Invoice each project milestone when it is done. The final invoice bills whatever is left.
The deposit comes off on its own
A deposit paid on the quote or at booking comes off the invoice on its own, and is never counted twice.
Pay links for card or bank transfer
Every invoice has a pay link. Clients pay by card or bank transfer, with no account needed.
Reminders before and after the due date Team and up
Payment reminders are drafted before the due date and after it, and stop once the invoice is paid.

Straight answers about how Stacwork runs your day.
Yes. Proposal mode adds pick-one pricing tiers, each built from catalog items, plus your own sections. You can also add optional extras the client ticks on or off before accepting.
Build the payment schedule into the proposal. The client signs it along with everything else, and it turns into the project's milestones. Bill each milestone when the stage is done, and the final invoice bills whatever is left. A deposit paid on the quote comes off the invoice on its own and is never counted twice.
On the work itself. Keep each project's files and notes on the project, and a job's documents on the job, from the office or a phone.
Yes, on jobs such as a door install or a repair. Each job has checklists, notes, photos, and the client's signature, and your crew sees their schedule and job details in My Day on their phone.
No. Every invoice has a pay link, and clients pay by card or bank transfer with no account needed. A bank transfer shows as processing until the money clears. You can still record checks and cash.
On Team and up, clients follow a project's milestones in the customer portal, pay a billed one, and open the files you share, such as the drawings.
Free runs the whole loop for up to 2 people. No credit card.
