DOORS ESTIMATING.

## Door Estimating in Phoenix Moves Fast — Your Bid Has to Move Faster Phoenix is one of the fastest-growing metros in the country. New subdivisions in Peoria, Queen Creek, and Surprise are delivering hundreds of doors per project. Commercial retrofits in downtown Phoenix and Tempe keep door contractors booked solid. When builders are choosing subs, the first credible bid wins — not the most detailed one submitted three days late. Estimate.Pro gives you a priced, sendable bid in a median of 8 minutes from the end of your walkthrough. --- ## What Makes Door Estimating Different in Phoenix **Heat and UV degradation change your material spec.** Standard fiberglass and hollow-core doors degrade faster in Phoenix's sustained 110°F summers. Your estimates need to account for thermal-break frames, UV-rated weatherstripping, and low-e glass door lights — all of which carry a real cost premium over national catalog pricing. Estimate.Pro's saved material cost workspace lets you store your Phoenix-specific supplier pricing from companies like 84 Lumber, Chase Industries, or local wholesale distributors on McDowell Road, so your line items reflect what you actually pay. **Door hardware and fire-rating specs follow Maricopa County ADA and IBC.** Commercial work in Phoenix — offices, multi-family, retail — requires hardware sets that comply with IBC 2018 as adopted by Arizona, including door-closer requirements, panic hardware on egress doors, and ADA-compliant lever sets under ICC A117.1. If you're doing tenant improvement work in Phoenix or Scottsdale, expect a plan review that scrutinizes rated door assemblies. Your estimate needs to itemize these components explicitly or you'll eat the delta on change orders. **New construction volume is high, but so is the competition.** Maricopa County issued over 40,000 single-family permits in recent years. That volume means opportunity, but it also means framers, GCs, and PM companies are juggling bids from multiple door subs. A clean, itemized estimate with your lead time and payment terms clearly stated closes faster than a hand-written quote. --- ## How Estimate.Pro Works for Door Contractors **1. Walk the job, measure as you go.** On supported devices, the app uses ONNX-assisted live AR measurement to capture opening dimensions in the field. On older phones or when pulling photos, measurements are clearly marked as estimates — no false precision. **2. AI builds your scope of work.** The app turns your walkthrough notes into a structured scope: door count by type (entry, interior, slider, fire-rated, ADA), hardware sets, frame material, rough opening sizes, and installation labor. You review it — you know this trade — then approve or edit. **3. Your Phoenix pricing loads in.** Cost data pulls from your saved material cost workspace. Phoenix labor runs above the national median for finish carpentry and door installation. You set your own rates; the app holds them. **4. Send the bid.** The estimate exports as a clean, professional document. Pro and Elite tiers include Stripe Connect for in-app payments — 0% platform fee on Pro+ plans. Free tier carries a 3% platform fee. --- ## Pricing That Fits the Size of Your Operation - **Free forever** — no credit card, no time limit. Core estimating features included. - **Pro — $39/seat/month** — full cost workspace, client management, Stripe payments. - **Elite — $79/seat/month** — Stripe Connect, invoice exports, advanced workflows. - **Crew — $399/month flat** — for door companies with multiple estimators in the field. If you're running estimates solo, Free or Pro covers you. If you have a pm and two field reps all sending bids, Crew is the flat-rate answer. --- ## Built for 25 Trades, Including Yours Estimate.Pro supports 25 trades. Door contractors have their own trade-specific scope templates — you're not adapting a generic construction form. The line items, labor categories, and hardware specs are already structured for door work. --- ## Start Your First Estimate Today No credit card. No sales call. Open the app, walk a job, and send your first bid. The 8-minute target is a median — meaning half of door contractors using the app are at the jobsite and sending before they even get back to the truck.
