Built for remodelers

Stop wasting three hours quoting jobs homeowners can't afford.

A closer-first contractor website platform. Not another lead form.

By the time a lead reaches your phone, they've already designed the project, picked their finishes, and indicated they're comfortable with your numbers.

No more 45-minute drives to discover a $12k budget for a $40k job. You verify the scope. You don't sell.

45-minute drive (back and forth). 2-hour estimate. 6-hour bid prep. Homeowner had a $12k budget for a $40k job.
You knew at minute six.

A quick audit of your current site

If your website does any of these,
it's a brochure — not a closer.

Most contractor websites were built by lead-gen agencies whose job ended the second a name hit your inbox. They got paid. You got busy. Nothing closed.

"Request a free quote" is the main CTA

You've just promised a free estimate to anyone who fills out a form. Tire-kickers, price-shoppers, and the guy collecting three bids for his insurance — all equally qualified. Three Saturdays a month, gone.

The form asks for name, email, and "message"

No project type. No budget range. No photos. No timeline. You'll spend a week of phone tag sorting real homeowners from people who already hired their cousin two months ago.

No price anywhere on the site

Homeowners want a number before they call. When they can't find one, they assume "out of my range" and bounce to the next site — or worse, to Angi, where you'll bid against four other contractors who also can't list a price.

Nothing happens between form fill and callback

The hottest moment of intent is the second they hit "submit." Your site does nothing with it — no scope, no render, no numbers. The intent decays for hours while you're on a roof. By the time you call, three other contractors already did.

Your website doesn't lose jobs.
It just doesn't help win them.

It captures, it forwards, and it waits. APEX turns it into the room where the homeowner makes their actual decision — before they ever talk to you.

What a closer website does

Five jobs your website should do before you ever call back.

This isn't a redesign. It's a different mechanism. The visitor walks through it — and walks out qualified, designed, priced, and pre-sold.

1
Qualify them
SmartForms capture project type, budget, photos, and timeline. Price-shoppers self-eliminate. Serious homeowners self-identify.
2
Show them the work
The Design Studio website builder renders their actual room in three finish tiers. They see it. They feel it. Hesitation collapses.
3
Price the job
The EstiMate pricing engine generates three firm tiers — Lipstick, Standard, Luxury — from your catalog. Homeowner picks before you ever speak.
4
Align on range
Homeowner reviews the tiers and indicates which range they're comfortable with. No haggling on the phone. No three rounds of revisions before a real conversation.
5
Book the visit
Walk-through scheduled. Scope, materials, and accepted pricing waiting in your inbox. You're showing up to confirm, not to sell.
Where this actually lives

This is what your contractor website looks like on Apex.

Apex is a contractor website platform built specifically for remodelers. Your site lives on it — design, hosting, the Design Studio, the works — all in one place. That's what makes the homeowner experience seamless: the design happens on your site, the lead lands in your unified CRM inbox, and nothing breaks in between.

Design My Space

One click drops them into your Design Studio. They design the room, see firm pricing, and arrive pre-sold — no login, no friction. This is the path most homeowners take.

The quiet form below

Tell us about it

Whole-house builds, multi-room jobs, or homeowners who'd rather talk first route to a quick brief instead — so you never lose the big ones either.

One contractor website. Two entry points. Homeowners book the contractor who gives them this experience — and most of your competitors can't.

Hold on — there's more

Your website should help close jobs.
Not just get leads.

Most contractor websites stop at the form. APEX doesn't. Underneath every page you've seen so far are two screens doing the actual work of moving a stranger from "browsing" to "ready to sign." One is what your homeowner sees while they're sitting on their couch at 9pm. The other is what you see the next morning. Click into either — the entire workflow is built around the handoff between them.

One brain, two sides

The Studio is what they see.
EstiMate is what does the work.

One product. Two faces of the same brain. The Studio is the homeowner-facing experience that turns a curious visitor into a sold buyer. EstiMate is the contractor-facing engine that turns their design into a real, priced, ready-to-send quote — automatically.

Homeowner-facing

Design Studio

The user-facing side of EstiMate. A homeowner builds their own scope of work — and falls in love with it.

  • Designed to make them fall in love with their space before they ever talk to you
  • They pick styles, finishes, materials, layouts, and scope tiers — interactively
  • Every choice updates the price live against your real catalog
  • They submit a complete project file when they're ready

They no longer fight your prices.
They fight their own budget.

If the kitchen is over budget, they swap quartz for granite — not your margin for theirs.
same brain
Contractor-facing

EstiMate

Your AI-powered rehab calculator — and the brain that translates every Studio project into a finished quote.

  • Standalone: walk a property, snap photos, get an itemized scope of work in seconds
  • Connected to Studio: every homeowner choice assembles a real line item in real time
  • Pulls from your catalog, your SKUs, your tier prices, your margins — never regional averages
  • Auto-adds consumables, permits, and dumpster loads from the scope itself

The quote is done
before you open the email.

You're not building a quote. You're verifying one.

Included free in the Apex Pro subscription.

Both the Studio and EstiMate come bundled with Apex Pro at no additional cost. One subscription, the whole pipeline — site, intake, scope, quote, send.

Try it yourself

This is the studio your homeowners use.

The same embedded Design Studio that lives on your Apex site. Open it, design a kitchen, watch the price move — exactly what a homeowner does at 9pm on their couch.

The product in action

Every line item. Every consumable.
Every permit. Every dumpster load.

This is the EstiMate scope view. Each Studio selection lands as a real line item — measured from photos, priced against your catalog, with consumables, permits, and dumpsters added automatically.

"Usually I'd do 2-3 rounds of revisions before even getting a yes. This one was basically decided before I walked in. Homeowner had already picked finishes, knew what range they were in. I just had to confirm the scope and sign."

— Mark D., remodeling contractor, Sarasota FL

The result

Better jobs.
Less time wasted.

Before APEX
  • Cold leads with no project context
  • "Can you give me a ballpark for my kitchen?"
  • Three rounds of revisions before a "no"
  • Free estimates that vanish
With APEX
  • Full scope and finishes already chosen
  • Pricing reviewed and agreed on before the walk-through
  • Tire-kickers filtered before they reach you
  • Walk-throughs that turn into signed contracts

Let's be honest about what you're actually buying.

Contractors do not want software.

You want:

Fewer wasted
appointments
Fewer
tire-kickers
Fewer unpaid
estimates
Better
close rates
Better
margins
More jobs worth
showing up for

That's what APEX actually gives you.

When you're ready for more

The website is the wedge.
APEX is the growth stack.

Once the website is closing more jobs, the rest of the work — project management, the source-deals-from-investors feed, smarter routing on every form — is in the same account. No new login. No migration. Nothing else to buy.

Once the job is signed, project management lives here. Draw schedule, permit tracking, material lists, and DocuSign — in the same account you already use.

A real estate investor in your zip puts a $35k rehab into Apex. EstiMate scopes it. The bid request lands in your inbox with photos, square footage, finish tier, and a draw schedule already attached. You quote against a known scope, not against four other guys on Angi.

Every form on your site filters and routes intelligently. Kitchen inquiries to the kitchen pipeline. Bath inquiries to the bath pipeline. Tire-kickers to a follow-up sequence instead of your phone.

Start with the wedge

Run one EstiMate on a project you're already quoting.

Upload photos of any kitchen, bath, or remodel on your desk right now. See the itemized scope and three firm tiers in under sixty seconds. If it doesn't feel like cheating, walk away.

Free in Apex Pro. No card to test. No "schedule a call" gate.
