Why This Critical Software Matters for Your Remodel

As many homeowners know, the construction industry can feel like the wild west—unpredictable, chaotic, and often frustrating.

It’s no surprise that contractors rank #2 for the most consumer complaints in the US, and when you look at complaints per transaction, they take the top spot!


So, how can you tell if a contractor will deliver a smooth, stress-free experience?
One major red flag to watch for is whether they use Project Management software. Without it, you’re likely signing up for missed deadlines, miscommunications, and costly mistakes.

When we invested in our Project Management software 7 years ago, it completely transformed our business. It gave us the tools to stay organized, transparent, and in control of every detail.

The result?
Homeowners consistently praise us—not just for the remodel itself, but for the smooth and professional process this software makes possible.

If a contractor isn’t using Project Management software, you are almost guaranteed to be in for a bumpy ride. Don’t leave your dream remodel up to chance—insist on working with a contractor who’s invested in the tools to deliver a better experience.

If a remodeling company doesn't use project management software here is what you can expect:

  • Your remodel will likely take 30% - 400% longer to complete.
  • They won't have a system on the back-end to track your remodel project. 
  • They won't have to-dos, online schedule, and other items to make sure they get each phase of the project completed on time.
  • Communication will have to be over phone, text, email, fb messages, etc.  This turns into a lot of "he said, she said", unorganized communication and a lot of frustration for everyone involved.
  • Project management software such as Jobtread, BuilderTrend, or CoConstruct  puts all communication is in one place ensuring homeowners always know what is going on and it is easy to see all messages, financial aspects, & project updates.
  • You won't have a place to see all financial matters like what payments are owed, how much you have paid and your running total with any changes.
  • The contractor won't have a portal for change orders which are a simple way to document changes to the project after the agreement has been signed.  This is really important because if there is a change the contractor made, you need to know immediately how much it costs and why it was done.
  • You won't have a place to see all progress photos, daily logs, and comments so you can keep up to date with the project, especially if you are at work, away from the house, or an out of town investor/second home owner.
  • You may not have the ability to make payments online to make it easy on you. Also having access to all of your invoices and having the software do the math automatically is very helpful.  
  • You won't have a portal where you communicate with the in-house designer (if they have a designer) on what style and design items to pick.  This is a key benefit homeowners love, where you can comment on different items, and go back and forth while seeing pictures and comparing them to in-person samples.
  • All the design renderings from the designer are in this portal and you can go back and forth with them on what you like and don't like to get it exactly how you want.

If any of the home improvement service companies you are considering don't have this software, frankly they don't care enough about their own business or their clients. Otherwise it is a "no brainer" for any company that's been in business for at least a year.

It should be a huge warning sign if someone doesn't have this type of software.

Everyone wants & deserves to feel great about their home

If you are like many of our past clients, you are unhappy with some aspect of your home, but worried about the stress a remodel can cause.  We feel your pain and we don't just care about the remodel, we care about you and your experience.

We know the stress of trying to pick a remodeling company and the tremendous headaches many contractors can inflict due to being unorganized, using antiquated processes and not caring about the homeowner's experience.

You can avoid the stress many contractors inflict like:

  • Bait & switch on their price
  • Having to constantly chase them down
  • Leaving projects incomplete
  • Shoddy workmanship without a guarantee
  • Make a mess of you home
  • Damaging your house and not repairing it
  • Not being licensed, bonded, insured, AND workers compensation which puts the risk on you (Imagine a lawsuit against you, a homeowners insurance claim, or hospital bills costing thousands of dollars)

Everyone deserves to feel great about their home and enjoy their new remodel without contractor issues!
