Photo Attachments
Integrating visuals into a remodeling estimate is a game-changer in the bidding game. It's not just about the numbers; it's about painting a vivid picture of the project. These photos aren't just snapshots; they're a roadmap for all parties involved in the project (contractor, sub-contractor, client, etc.). They cut through the confusion, making sure everyone's on the same page. It's not just an estimate; it's a visual story that communicates trust, skill, and a dedication to getting the job done right.
