DOORS ESTIMATING.

## Door Estimating in Los Angeles Moves Fast — Your Bids Should Too Los Angeles runs on permits, inspections, and inspectors who know every line of the Los Angeles Municipal Code. For door contractors working the Basin — from Boyle Heights to the Palisades — a bid that misses an ADA-compliant threshold clearance, a Title 24 energy compliance note, or a fire-rated door assembly spec can lose you the job before you even shake hands. Estimate.Pro is built for exactly this kind of work. ### What Makes Door Work Different in LA LA is not a single market. A historic Craftsman in Los Feliz triggers different scope than a new ADU in Inglewood or a commercial tenant improvement in the Fashion District. Door contractors here routinely juggle: - **LAMC Chapter IX building code requirements** for egress doors, fire-rated assemblies, and hardware on commercial and multi-family projects - **California Title 24, Part 6** energy compliance — fenestration U-factor and SHGC values matter on replacement door permits - **ADA / CBC Chapter 11B** clear-width and maneuvering-clearance rules on any project touching a public accommodation - **LADBS permit thresholds** — residential door replacements in-kind often skate under the permit wire; structural openings, fire corridors, and commercial work do not Get any of those wrong in your estimate and you're repricing the job after award, eating margin you never had. ### How Estimate.Pro Works for Door Contractors Walk the job. Open the app. You get a structured scope-of-work in minutes — not hours. The AR measurement tool runs ONNX-assisted live detection on supported devices. Point your camera at the opening and get a dimensional read flagged clearly as measured or as an estimate. No more scribbling on a napkin and squinting at your notes back in the truck. The AI scope engine pulls your opening count, door type (hollow core, solid core, steel, fiberglass, fire-rated), hardware schedule, and any framing or jamb work into a line-item draft. You review, you adjust, you send. Median time from walkthrough to sendable bid: **8 minutes**. Your saved material cost workspace holds your preferred door suppliers — whether you're buying off the rack at a Burbank supply house or spec'ing Marvin, Therma-Tru, or JELD-WEN on a Beverly Hills remodel. Update your costs once; every future estimate reflects them. ### Pricing That Doesn't Punish Small Crews Estimate.Pro has a **free forever tier** — no credit card, no trial clock. When your volume grows: - **Pro** — $39/seat/month: full estimating, AR measurements, saved cost workspace - **Elite** — $79/seat/month: adds Stripe Connect invoicing and export workflows - **Crew** — $399/month flat: unlimited seats for larger door and millwork operations Stripe Connect platform fees drop to **$0 on Pro+** plans. On the free tier it's 3%. No other platform fees. ### Built for 25 Trades, Tuned for Doors Estimate.Pro supports 25 trades. Door contractors share the platform with framing, finish carpentry, and glazing crews — which means when a job bleeds into adjacent scope (pocket door framing, sidelite glazing, exterior casing), you're not switching apps. ### Win More LA Work LA general contractors are flooded with bids. The ones that land are specific: door species and grade, fire-rating hour, hardware finish, hinge count, jamb material, threshold type, and labor broken out from material. Estimate.Pro's line-item output gives GCs what they need to approve your number without a follow-up call. Start free. No card. First bid in under 10 minutes.
