Decking

Demo Monday, footings Tuesday, framing by Friday. The office work should not slow it down.

Every deck is a small project with permits, footings, framing, boards, rails, and stairs. Clients want upgrades mid-build. The lumber yard has pricing changes. You are bidding the next one before you finish this one.

Jobkore runs from the phone. Quotes from the job site. Invoices between trips to the yard. Payments that hit your account before the composite order is even palletized.

A deck bid is six scopes, not one.

Demo, footings, framing, boards, railing, stairs. Treating it as a lump sum hides where the money goes and leaves no room to explain an upgrade or a design change. Build the estimate in sections with line items under each — PT framing, composite vs cedar boards, cable versus picket rail.

The homeowner sees the scope clearly. Upgrades become a conversation about added cost, not a hidden markup.

Change orders for upgrades halfway through.

The homeowner sees the framing and decides they want cable railing instead of pickets. Adds a bench. Wants built-in planters. Write each upgrade as a change order tied to the original bid — scope, price, signature, invoice. The final billing is never a surprise.

Deposit for materials, draw at rough framing, final at punch.

Material comes up front. Framing locks in the labor. Final rolls in after the railing is done and the punch list is closed. Pull each invoice from the same estimate so you always know what has been billed and what is still open.

Hank AI™ drafts the bid before you leave the yard.

You walked the site, measured the footprint, photographed the attachment point and the grade, and jotted notes on your phone. Hand those notes to Hank AI™ and in seconds the estimate is structured: demo, footings, framing, boards, rail, stairs. You add your pricing. The bid goes out before you pull out of the driveway.

Hank never invents quantities, rates, or margins. It organizes what you observed.

Paid by card. No platform fee from us.

The invoice goes out with a payment link. Stripe processes at their standard rate. Jobkore adds nothing on top.
