DOORS ESTIMATING.

## Door Estimating in Pittsburgh Moves Fast — Your Bids Need to Keep Up Pittsburgh's housing stock is among the oldest in the country. Row houses in Lawrenceville, century-old colonials in Squirrel Hill, converted industrial lofts in the Strip District — door contractors here deal with non-standard rough openings, out-of-plumb frames, and masonry surrounds that add labor hours fast. If you're still building estimates in a spreadsheet, you're leaving money on the table and time on the clock. Estimate.Pro is built for door contractors who work in the field, not in an office. Walk the job, measure the openings, and produce a priced, sendable bid in a median of 8 minutes. ### What Makes Door Estimating Different in Pittsburgh **Older frames, more surprises.** Pittsburgh's pre-1950 housing inventory is substantial. Out-of-square openings, rotted subsills, and non-standard door heights are the rule, not the exception. Your estimate has to account for frame repair, shimming, and extra casing labor before you ever touch the door itself. Estimate.Pro lets you build line items for those contingencies and save them to your cost workspace so you stop re-entering them on every job. **Steel entry doors vs. fiberglass vs. wood — material costs vary wide.** With Pittsburgh winters regularly pushing below 10°F, clients ask about insulated steel and fiberglass units constantly. You need to be able to swap door types mid-estimate without rebuilding the whole bid. Estimate.Pro's saved material cost workspace lets you store current supplier pricing from your local suppliers — whether you're buying from a lumber yard in the North Hills or a millwork shop in the South Side — and pull it into any estimate in seconds. **Commercial and residential run side by side.** Downtown Pittsburgh's ongoing commercial renovation activity means door contractors often carry both residential and commercial work simultaneously. Hollow metal frames, fire-rated assemblies, ADA-compliant hardware — these have different material and labor profiles. Estimate.Pro supports the full scope, from a single prehung interior door to a multi-opening commercial entry package. ### AR Measurement on the Jobsite On supported devices, Estimate.Pro uses ONNX-assisted live AR measurement so you can capture opening dimensions directly from the walkthrough. On devices without AR support, camera and photo measurements are clearly marked as estimates. Either way, the dimensions feed directly into your scope of work — no transcription step, no lost notes. ### AI Scope-of-Work, Then a Priced Estimate After the walkthrough, Estimate.Pro's AI drafts the scope of work: door type, frame condition, hardware, weatherstripping, disposal of the old unit, paint prep. You review it, adjust anything that doesn't fit, and the app prices the line items using your saved cost data. The result is a professional bid you can send from your phone before you leave the driveway. ### Pricing That Works for One-Truck Shops and Crews Estimate.Pro runs on a free tier — no credit card required, no time limit.
