Built for how deck builders actually work in California

Whether you run out of Los Angeles, San Diego, San Jose, Sacramento, and Fresno, or a small town nobody outside the county has heard of, the job is the same: win the work, do it right, and get paid without chasing it. TradeForge runs that whole thing on one platform, so you stop paying for five tools that don't talk to each other.

California is less about storms and more about volume, wildfire rebuild, and Title 24 energy work, so speed and clean documentation win the job. That is exactly the kind of work TradeForge was built for, by a contractor who has stood on the roof and sat across the kitchen table.

Common questions from California deck builders

Can I price by linear foot for fence runs?

Yes. Line-item library supports per-LF pricing for any line. Estimates auto-calc total LF × unit price.

Do you do material takeoffs?

Manual takeoffs for now (boards × LF × spacing math). Lumberyard API integrations are on the roadmap.

What if the client wants to compare three deck designs?

Use the Tiered Pricing feature on storyline estimates, show Standard / Premium / Composite side-by-side in one document.
