Built for deck builders who price by the board.
Suparate is a deck builder estimating app for boards, joists, railings, footings, hardware, permits, and change orders. It gives deck estimating software that helps you quote a clear scope from the first site visit, whether the job is a small platform or a multi-level build.
Sound familiar?
Decks have more parts than clients realize
Boards are only the visible piece. Joists, beams, posts, footings, hangers, fasteners, flashing, stairs, guardrails, and permits all need to land in the price.
Existing decks hide repair work
A replacement bid can change fast once boards come off and rot shows up at the ledger, posts, or framing. Without a written allowance, every discovery becomes a tense conversation.
Material choices swing the total
Pressure-treated, cedar, composite, hidden fasteners, cable rail, and aluminum rail are not small upgrades. A deck proposal needs to show those choices clearly before the client signs.
Here's how Suparate fits your workflow
Document the site before you price it
Take photos of access, ledger connection, grade, stairs, old framing, and railing conditions. Suparate keeps that visual record with the estimate so the final proposal matches the actual build.
- Site photos for existing deck, grade, access, and utilities
- Scope notes for demo, footings, framing, decking, and railing
- Allowance lines for rot, framing repair, and permit conditions
- Saved rates for common deck sizes and material packages
Send a deck proposal with options
Clients often need to compare pressure-treated, cedar, composite, and railing upgrades. Suparate turns your estimate into a clear proposal that separates base scope from options and add-ons.
- Base scope and optional upgrades in one proposal
- Decking, railing, stairs, and skirting separated by line
- Signed approval before material orders
- Change orders for upgrades after the original scope
Bill by milestone
Deck jobs move through deposits, demo, footings, framing, decking, railings, and final punch. Suparate keeps invoices tied to those milestones so cash flow follows the work.
- Deposit collection before ordering boards and hardware
- Milestone invoices for framing, decking, railing, and final
- Payment tracking across active deck builds
- Signed change orders stored with the job
What changes when Deck Builder use Suparate
Not hypothetically. These are the shifts contractors report within the first two weeks.
Quote while the deck is still in front of you
Measurements, photos, and repair notes are captured before you leave, so the estimate does not depend on memory later.
Protect yourself on hidden rot
Written allowances for framing repair and ledger issues make surprises easier to handle when old boards come off.
Make upgrade decisions easier
Clients can see what composite, rail, stair, or skirting upgrades actually cost, which helps them choose without grinding down your base price.
