Figure the whole job in seconds. Toggle between a deck, a wall, a shed, or finish trim, punch in the dimensions, and get the real material takeoff — boards, joists, posts and footings, studs, rafters, sheathing, and trim — plus your material cost, your labor, and what to charge.
That's the hard part done. SideWRK runs the rest from your phone: text the estimate, your customer taps approve, and the money hits — card, Apple Pay, Venmo, Cash App, or Zelle, no merchant account, no three-percent bite. It keeps a line on who still owes you, logs every material and cost so your real profit and your tax write-offs tally themselves, and stands up a free website with reviews that feeds you the next job. A free estimate today, or your whole operation in one app. Built for carpentry and every trade.
Carpentry runs from a framed wall to a finished built-in, and the money is in the parts nobody quotes — the layout, the demo, the fit-up, the coping and scribing on the finish side. Charge for scale and complexity, keep who-supplies-the-material clear on every estimate, and collect a deposit before you buy the lumber or the deck boards. The big jobs — decks, additions, built-ins — are where the real profit lives, so price them like a builder, not a handyman.
