A basement finish takes weeks, a sticking door takes twenty minutes, and both want the same Thursday. Quote it, book it and get paid without juggling three apps and a notepad.
Online booking
A door swelled shut over a wet spring, a deck board gone soft, baseboard to patch after the plumber. Give it a real duration and customers take the gaps.

Framing one week, doors and trim three weeks later once the drywall and mud are done. Two blocks, so nothing gets booked into the middle.
Learn moreFraming days, boarding days, a fit-out that eats a Thursday. A carpentry diary is read across weeks, so the honest question is never what time you are free — it is which week is still open.
Deck season is short and it books out in weeks. Once the days are gone the page stops offering them and asks instead.
If the deck took Monday through Friday, none of it shows. Your calendar decides what gets offered, every time.
They leave the job, the address and a photo of the soft board instead of calling the next carpenter on the list.
It is waiting in your inbox with the detail attached, so the estimate takes four minutes instead of a callback.
Photos attached. Happy to wait for a week that suits you — how far out are you booking at the moment?
A week of framing forty minutes out pays for the drive. A twenty-minute door adjustment does not, especially in February. Draw the areas you cover.
Mark the areas on a map. Inside, people book. Outside, they get a request form and the call is yours.
You will drive further for a deck than for a sticking door, and your areas can say exactly that.
We never add money for a longer trip. Where you will and will not go is a boundary, not a surcharge.
Every deck call runs the same: how big, what decking, does the old one come off. One estimate carrying pressure-treated, cedar and composite options.
Pro: option groups. Railing or open edge, one step or a full stair run, stained or left to grey. Each carries a price difference and the total updates, so the number they accept is the number you invoice.
Square feet of decking, linear feet of railing, days of labour. The customer can see exactly what they are buying.
The deck in town and the dock at the cottage on one estimate, each line keeping its own address when it books.
Estimate numbers get set behind a confirmation and never change, so your books and the customer copy always match.
Built for your trade
Priced by square footage with the decking as an option, booked as the run of days framing and boarding really take.
Framing, doors and trim as separate blocks weeks apart, with the drywaller and electrician on the same job thread.
Finish work priced by the room, so a whole-house trim package is one number you can send from the driveway.
Shop days and install days on their own lines, booked as two blocks instead of one date that means nothing.
The shop delivers, you hang. Book the install against the delivery date and keep both on the same job record.
The twenty-minute spring callout that fills the gap between two bigger jobs instead of costing you two calls.
A week of framing and sheathing booked in one block, quoted with the slab and the build on separate lines.
Stringers, treads and railing on their own lines, with the code work priced in rather than sprung at the end.
Season-opening work booked in a run so one trip up covers three properties instead of three separate drives.
Measured, ordered and installed. Book the install for the day the units land, not the day you took the call.
Priced by the linear foot off a photo, booked into the half day it takes, paid before you pull out of the driveway.
A sticking door or a gate that needs rehanging is too small to quote and too easy to lose. Put it on your page with its own price and its own length and it lands in the gap on its own.
Every deck, robe and rehung door at that property on one record. When they ring three years later about matching the boards, you are reading what you actually used rather than guessing.
The composite did not ship, the ground is still frozen, the electrician is not out of the wall yet. Move the day and everything downstream moves with it.
Push the block to Thursday and every day inside it moves too. On any plan, including the free one.
Your lead opens the app on site and reads the exact same calendar you are looking at back at the shop.
The change goes out on the job thread, so nobody is standing in the driveway at seven waiting on your truck.
Plenty of this money still arrives as cash or an e-transfer, and recording that by hand is free forever. Cards are the piece that comes with Pro.
Mark it paid on the job and you are done. No fee, no plan required, nothing sitting there waiting to clear.
Text the link from the driveway and the small job is paid before the mitre saw is back in the truck.
Staged payments come with Pro: ask at framing and again at completion, after the job is booked, never at checkout.
Add your whole team and get booking for nothing.
As you grow with us you can go Pro.
One app for the whole job
No. This is scheduling and invoicing software and it has nothing to do with your trade paperwork. Carpenter is a Red Seal trade, so a provincial certificate of qualification with the Red Seal endorsement travels between provinces, but that is between you and your apprenticeship authority.
Yes. Book the framing across the days it actually takes and it shows as one block on the calendar, so a Wednesday request lands after it rather than in the middle of it. Drag the block and every day inside comes along.
That is the usual path for anything bigger than a repair. Put framing, doors, trim and labour on their own lines with quantities and rates, send it, and let them sit with it. Nothing hits your calendar until they accept and you pick the week.
Option groups come with Pro: pressure-treated, cedar or composite, each carrying its own price difference. The customer picks, the total updates, and you are not rewriting the same estimate three times.
Recording cash and e-transfer by hand is free and stays free. Card payments come with Pro, so a trim repair gets paid before you load up. The money goes to you, and we never hold onto it.
Yes. He sees the jobs he is assigned to and nothing more. Your rates, your customer list and the money side stay with you.
