A homeowner is holding two bids for the exact same $4,850 master bath. One looks like software spit it out. The other looks like the pro they want in their house. Guess which one they sign.

Send a clean flat-rate proposal like the one above — or itemize the whole job room-by-room, line-by-line, so the homeowner sees exactly where every dollar goes and there's nothing to argue about later. Same StraightBid, whatever the job calls for.
Your logo, a clean layout, a total they can actually find. Not a wall of text from a 2009 invoice.
No print, scan, or “I'll email it back.” They tap approve on their phone and you both get a timestamped record.
Know the second they open it, and follow up while you're still top of mind — before the next contractor calls.
Your work looks professional.
Your quote should too.
Customer name, total, scope of work. Check a few boxes and hit save. A polished proposal ready to send — no templates to wrestle with.
Your logo, clean layout, branded PDF. Customers open something that looks like it came from a company — not a napkin.
No printing. No scanning. No back-and-forth. Customer taps approve and you both get a timestamped record.
Get notified the moment your proposal is viewed. Call while you're still top of mind — before the next contractor does.
Sent a proposal and heard crickets? StraightBid follows up automatically so jobs don't fall through the cracks while you're on-site.
See your whole pipeline at a glance. Know what's pending, what got signed, and what's ready to invoice.
Fill out your proposal in Spanish — or Spanglish — and hit Translate. StraightBid rewrites the whole form into professional English, ready to send to any customer.
Snap photos on the walkthrough and drop them right into the proposal — grouped by room. The customer sees exactly what you saw, so there are no surprises later.
More than you think — and it's usually not your price. It's the quiet stuff you never see:
A number scribbled on a notepad or texted at 9pm looks like every other guy with a truck — so they keep shopping.
You got busy on the job. The customer went with whoever checked back in first — and it wasn't you.
No reply felt like “not interested.” Really, they just never saw a reason to say yes.
StraightBid fixes all three — a proposal that looks pro, follow-ups that happen on their own, and you see the moment they open it.
Free to start. No setup. Works from your phone.
