Offerte.cc for Deck Builders
An estimate ready before the sawdust settles
New decks, composite upgrades, railing replacements, full rebuilds. AI writes the estimate with the right framing, decking material, and footings while you're still loading the truck.
You just wrapped a build. Now two estimates are waiting for tonight.
You're loading tools into the truck at the end of a long build day, and there are two deck estimates you promised to send by tomorrow morning. You open last month's quote as a template, retype the square footage, swap out the decking brand, redo the railing math, and try to remember what you priced the footings at last time. An hour and a half later you've got one done. The other homeowner already booked someone who replied that afternoon.

Frequently asked questions
Questions?
Can it price decking material and framing as separate line items?
+
Yes. AI breaks a deck estimate into demo, footings, framing, decking, and railing as separate line items, each priced per square foot or linear foot depending on what you set up. It follows whatever structure your service catalog uses.
Does it know the difference between composite brands like Trex and pressure-treated wood?
+
Yes. Mention the material and AI adjusts pricing to match: composite boards like Trex or TimberTech price differently than pressure-treated lumber, and it can note the specific product line in the description so the customer knows exactly what they're getting.
Is Offerte.cc free?
+
Offerte.cc is free to use during early access. No credit card required. We'll give plenty of notice, and current users get a discount, before any paid plan starts.
How smart is the AI?
+
The AI learns your services, prices, and documents. Every quote is based on your own catalog, not a generic guess. You always review and can edit before you send.
How fast can I get set up?
+
Upload your price list or paste it in, and AI imports your services with prices and units. Most people are fully set up in about 5 minutes.
