Siding software for after the storm.
Hail goes through and a whole street needs siding on the north side. Redline turns your walk-through into leads, books the inspections back to back and quotes each house by the square when you're done measuring.
A storm street, organized in two messages
Ready to add 3 leads on Maple Ave, Methuen: Kowalczyk, Duarte and Feeney, each noted "hail damage, north side." Confirm and they land in Lead.
Booked Wednesday on Maple Ave: Kowalczyk at 1:00, Duarte at 2:30, Feeney at 4:00.
Contacts, pipeline and scheduling work on every plan, Free included.
From storm street to final payment
Storm leads in a pipeline
Every house starts in Lead, then moves to Quoted, Accepted and In Progress. Filter by town to work one neighborhood at a time. See the job pipeline.
Quotes by the square and the opening
Tear-off and siding per square, house wrap per square, J-channel, soffit and fascia per linear foot, window and door wraps per opening, the dumpster each. See quotes and estimates.
Vinyl or fiber cement as options
In the quote composer (Solo and up), put the same house on one quote as good, better and best by product line, so the homeowner sees the price difference without a second visit. By chat, Redline drafts one quote per product.
Rotten sheathing on the final
When the old siding comes off and the sheathing is soft, tell Redline the sheets and the price and it goes into the invoice total and description. Invoicing is on Solo and up.
Slow payments flagged
Insurance-driven jobs can take a while to pay. With chasing on, Redline flags unpaid invoices at day 3, 7 and 14 and tells you who to call. See overdue invoice alerts.
Crews on the board
Siding crews run 3 to 5 people. On Team and up, the dispatch board shows each crew's day and the crew lead taps their status from the app.
Waves of work, then the wait
Siding work comes in waves. A storm rolls through and the phones light up, or you knock a street where every house has the same chalky vinyl. For a few weeks it's measuring squares, counting openings and getting quotes out faster than the next contractor. Leads that sit for a week go cold.
Then comes the slow part. Customers wait on their insurance adjuster, the adjuster wants another look, and the first check doesn't cover the whole job. Redline doesn't handle claims or supplements, but it does keep every house in the pipeline with its notes and photos, and when you send the invoice, it watches the due date for you.
Install season runs spring through fall with a full crew. A good week is two or three houses wrapped and sided, with the dumpster swapped out and the punch list closed. Logging the dumpster and material as expenses on each job shows what each house actually made.

Questions contractors ask
Does Redline work with insurance claims?
Not directly. It tracks the job, the notes and photos, the quote and your invoice. The claim, the adjuster's estimate and any supplement stay in your insurance tools.
Can it measure squares from a satellite image?
No. You measure, then tell Redline the squares, linear feet and openings. It does the pricing.
Can I get leads from Redline?
Your free Pro Page has a quote request form, and requests land in Contacts as leads. Free shows 3 a month; paid plans show them all.
What plan fits two siding crews?
If each crew lead needs the app, Team at $129 a month (3 seats, owner included) covers you plus two leads. Team+ at $299 has 10 seats. See pricing.
