Branded estimates & invoices
Send clean, itemized estimates and numbered invoices with your business name, logo, and license number on them — text or email, straight from your phone. You look like a real shop because you are one.
Customers approve from their phone
Send a branded approval link. Your customer reviews the estimate, sees the photos, and taps Approve — logged with their name, the time, and the amount, with re-authorization if the job grows.
Real profit, not just revenue
Every material carries a private "your cost" the customer never sees — so the Money tab shows what you actually made on each job, not just what you charged.
Photos that document the work
Snap the before, the problem, and the finished job and text it to the customer — proof that gets jobs approved and a record of the work after you leave.
One flow, start to paid
Estimate → approve → invoice → paid, all on one job, all on your phone. Jobs flip to Paid automatically when the balance hits zero.
811 & property line, flagged
A post hole through a gas line is the fence trade's nightmare — SideWRK flags the 811 locate and the property-line check right on the job. The rules surfaced, the ticket and survey left to you. Never legal advice.

It becomes a numbered invoice with your details on it. Record payment, and your real profit lands in Money.
What should a fence builder charge?
Fencing is priced by the linear foot, and the material plus the terrain drive the total. Here's how it's priced, plus a free fence cost calculator to price it.
Per linear foot by material
Price runs per linear foot, and the material sets the range — chain-link is cheapest, with wood, cedar, vinyl, and ornamental iron each costing more.
Gates and posts
Gates are priced individually, and corner, end, and gate posts (set in concrete) add cost beyond the run.
Tear-out, terrain, permits
Removing an old fence, sloped or rocky ground, deeper post holes, and permits all add to the per-foot price.
Staining & sealing
Stain or seal a fence — or a deck on the same trip — priced by the square foot. A protective coat is an easy add to a new build and a reason the customer calls you back in a couple years.

Do I need to install anything?
No — SideWRK runs in any phone browser, nothing to download. Everything syncs to the cloud, so your phone on the job and your laptop at night see the same data.
Can I run more than one trade?
Yes — with the Multi-Trade plan every trade is unlocked and you switch between them in a tap, sharing one customer list.
