Renovate
What it is
Renovate is a contractor CRM for renovation and remodeling businesses. It brings estimating, invoicing, job organization and client communication together, with tools that can also help painters prepare and manage projects. Estimates can include a company’s branding, photos, itemized labor and materials, markup and tax; clients can approve and sign them online. Once accepted, an estimate can be divided into staged invoices, each tracked as draft, sent, paid or overdue. Renovate also provides contacts, a sales pipeline, a schedule, tasks, job folders and a searchable library for project photos and documents. Its AI feature creates a photorealistic room preview from an uploaded room photo and a chosen style. Pro includes 50 previews per month, while Pro Plus includes 100 and adds a public storefront URL for product browsing and order requests. Pro costs $29.99 a month; Pro Plus costs $59.99 a month. The product is available in the US and Canada and runs in a browser on desktop and mobile. Native iOS and Android apps are described as coming soon.
