Redline
Paving and sealcoating

Sealcoating software for quoting the whole street.

One driveway on a street turns into three when the neighbors walk over. Redline quotes each one by the square foot while you're standing there, moves the week when rain rolls in and puts every sealcoat customer back on the calendar two years out.

Quoting on the street

Ortega driveway at 12 Cedar Ln, Parma. 18 by 60, about 90 ft of crack fill, two coats.
Redline

Draft for Luis Ortega: sealcoat, 2 coats, 1,080 sq ft at $0.30: $324. Crack filling, 90 ft at $1.25: $112.50. Total $436.50. Save it?

Save it. His neighbor Dave Kowal at 14 Cedar wants the same, his is 16 by 50, no cracks. And what's the rain chance Thursday?

Ready to add Dave Kowal at 14 Cedar Ln as a lead (confirm below), then I'll draft his quote: 800 sq ft at $0.30, $240.

The forecast I found for Parma shows rain likely Thursday afternoon. Want me to move Thursday's two sealcoats to Friday?

Forecast lookups are web searches, which use AI credits. Quotes save as drafts.

Built for dry days and repeat driveways

Priced the way lots are priced

Sealcoat per square foot by coats, crack fill per linear foot, overlay per square foot or per ton, striping per stall, mobilization each. See quotes and estimates.

Rain days moved by message

Push Thursday to Friday, or ask Optimize to propose a new week, and confirm. Same-town jobs get grouped together, by town name. See scheduling.

Sealcoat customers come back

Book the next sealcoat as a repeating visit every 24 months when you finish this one, so the driveway is on your calendar before the next door-knocker gets there. See recurring jobs.

Commercial lot maintenance

Crack fill in spring, sealcoat and restripe on a cycle, each visit booked as a series for the property and invoiced per visit.

Bigger crews for paving days

Sealcoat runs 2 or 3 people and paving runs 5 to 8. On Team and up, the dispatch board puts each crew on its job, and Team+ covers up to 10 people with extra seats after that.

A season measured in dry days

Paving and sealcoating only happen when it's warm and dry, so the whole year's revenue gets squeezed into a few months. A lot of residential work is sold on the street: you're doing one driveway, the neighbor comes over, and by noon you've quoted four. Those quotes need to be real numbers saved to a customer before you leave, not a figure on the back of a business card.

Then the weather decides. Rain on Thursday means Thursday's jobs move, and Friday's shift too. Each move is a customer who needs to know, and a crew that needs a new plan. Redline moves the calendar by message, and calling each customer to tell them is one tap from their file.

The money is in the repeat. A sealcoated driveway needs it again in a couple of years, and commercial lots need crack fill and striping every season. When each of those is on the calendar as a repeating visit, next year's schedule starts half full.

Questions contractors ask

Can I quote by the ton for paving?

Yes. Every line is a quantity times a price, so tons of asphalt, tons of base stone and square feet of sealcoat can all sit on one quote. Redline doesn't figure the tonnage; you give it the number.

How do I bring back last year's sealcoat customers?

Book each one as a repeating visit when you finish, so they're on the calendar. Redline doesn't email or text your list on its own; you call or send an email from your Gmail.

Can I take a deposit on a paving job?

Yes. Put the deposit percentage on the quote, then on Solo and up bill it as its own invoice with a card pay link. Sealcoating can be paid on completion the same way.
