BATH REMODEL ESTIMATING.

## Bath Remodel Estimating in Sacramento Moves Fast — Your Bids Should Too Sacramento's remodel market has been running hot. The wave of buyers who purchased aging Midtown bungalows, Land Park Craftsmans, and Elk Grove tract homes between 2019 and 2022 is now spending money updating original 1950s–1980s bathrooms. You're competing against a deep bench of licensed contractors in a city where the Contractors State License Board (CSLB) maintains one of the highest concentrations of active B and C-20 licenses in the state. That competition means a slow bid loses work. A sloppy bid loses money. Estimate.Pro targets an 8-minute median time from walkthrough to sendable bid — not because speed is a gimmick, but because your time on-site costs real dollars. --- ## What Makes Bath Estimating Different in Sacramento **Permit requirements through Sacramento County and City DSD** Any bath remodel that moves a fixture, adds a GFCI circuit, or touches the drain-waste-vent system requires a permit through the City of Sacramento's Development Services Department (DSD) or Sacramento County PRMD depending on jurisdiction. Permit fees for a standard bath remodel typically run $300–$600 in the city limits once you factor base fees and plan check. Estimate.Pro lets you line-item permit allowances directly in the scope so the client sees the real number — not a surprise at contract signing. **Water and tile work in hard-water territory** Sacramento's municipal water supply runs hard — typically 150–200 mg/L total dissolved solids from Sacramento River and groundwater blending. That affects your tile selection conversations, grout sealing specs, and shower valve recommendations. When you're building your scope of work in Estimate.Pro, the AI-generated scope pulls in fixture and material line items you can edit against your saved material cost workspace — so your grout sealer and valve spec language is already in the draft. **Labor rates that reflect the Central Valley market** Tile setters and finish carpenters in the Sacramento metro run higher than the Central Valley interior but below Bay Area scale. Knowing your loaded labor cost per trade is the difference between a margin and a loss. Estimate.Pro stores your labor rates at the workspace level — you set them once against current Sacramento market conditions, and every estimate inherits them. --- ## How the Estimate.Pro Workflow Runs for Bath Remodelers 1. **Walkthrough** — Use AR measurement on supported devices to capture the bathroom dimensions. The ONNX-assisted live AR detection reads walls, floors, and ceiling planes. On older phones or from photos, measurements are marked as estimates so you know what to verify. 2. **AI scope-of-work** — The app drafts a line-by-line scope from your walkthrough notes: demo, waterproofing membrane, backer board, tile, fixtures, trim, paint. You edit it — you're not locked into generated text. 3. **Priced estimate** — Your saved labor rates and material costs populate the line items. Adjust quantities, swap materials, add your permit allowance. The estimate is client-ready in a format you can send from the job site. 4. **Collect payment** — Pro+ and Elite tiers include Stripe Connect with 0% platform fee. Send an invoice, collect a deposit, move on to the next bid. --- ## Pricing That Works at Any Volume - **Free forever** — no credit card, no time limit. Good for solo operators running a handful of jobs. - **Pro at $39/seat/month** — removes the 3% Stripe platform fee on payments. - **Elite at $79/seat/month** — adds invoice exports and full Stripe Connect workflows. - **Crew at $399/month flat** — covers the whole crew, no per-seat math. For a Sacramento bath remodeler doing four to eight jobs a month, the math on Pro pays for itself in the first collected deposit. --- ## Built for 25 Trades, Including Bath Remodel If you sub out electrical, plumbing, or HVAC on larger bath projects, your subs can run their own estimates inside the same platform. The scope and pricing stay consistent across the general and sub bids — no translation errors when the numbers move between GC and trade contractor. Estimate.Pro supports 25 trades. Bath remodel is one. The others are there when the project scope grows. --- Sacramento clients expect detailed bids. The DSD expects proper permit documentation. Your margins depend on accurate labor and material costs. Estimate.Pro puts all three in one place, on your phone, at the job site.
