The old way vs the SteadyOps way
The old way
You drive to a job site, spend 30 minutes measuring, go home, open a spreadsheet, look up material costs, and email a quote two days later. By then, the customer has called someone else.
The SteadyOps way
Snap photos of the job on-site. AI analyzes the images, identifies the work needed, pulls current material costs, and generates a professional estimate in 60 seconds. Send it to the customer before you leave the driveway.
How it works
Get started in minutes
Take photos on-site
Use your phone to snap photos of the job — damaged drywall, old water heater, electrical panel, roof damage. Multiple angles help the AI be more accurate.
AI generates the estimate
AI identifies the work needed, calculates labor hours and material costs from your price book, and generates a line-item estimate in under 60 seconds.
Review and send
Review the AI estimate, adjust any numbers, add notes, and send to the customer via email or text. They get a professional PDF with your branding.
Convert to invoice
When the customer approves, convert the estimate to an invoice with one click. All line items carry over. No re-typing.

Real-world scenario
See it in action
The scenario
A homeowner calls after a storm. You visit the property, climb on the roof, and take photos of the damaged shingles and flashing. On the way to your truck, you upload the photos. By the time you sit down, AI has generated an $8,500 estimate with line items for tear-off, underlayment, shingles, and flashing.
The result
You email the estimate before driving away. The homeowner approves it that evening. You convert to invoice and schedule the job — all from your phone.
