The New York market at a glance

Work in New York is driven by apartment and brownstone renovation, facade and local-law compliance work and upstate residential remodelling. Licensing runs through county and city licensing, with New York City home improvement licensing through the DCWP, and approvals go through the NYC Department of Buildings in the city and municipal departments upstate, with landmarks review where applicable. WinkScope does not file permits or licences for you, but it keeps the scope, revisions, approvals and photo record that those conversations depend on in one job file.

On site across the state

Field crews use the phone apps for job details, checklists, photos, GPS-stamped time entries and client signatures. Subcontractors get work orders with scope and checklists; clients get a portal showing approvals, documents and progress. Nothing has to be re-typed when the crew gets back from a New York job.

What WinkScope costs in New York

Starter $29.99/mo, Pro $79.99/mo, Agency $199/mo and Enterprise $799/mo, each with a 15-day free trial and no card required to start. Plans are billed in USD worldwide, and you can invoice your own clients in your local currency.

Quoting the way New York prices work

Quotes are issued in USD with sales tax handled on the document and measurements in feet, square feet and yards. Your price book holds what you actually pay at Home Depot, Lowe's, 84 Lumber, Ferguson and ABC Supply, and live vendor search checks current pricing before a number goes out. Markup, margin and section totals are editable, so the client sees the presentation you want and you keep the maths behind it.

Scheduling around New York weather

Hard winters upstate, a compressed exterior season and year-round interior work in the city decides when exterior work actually happens across the state. The WinkScope schedule shows a live weather overlay on the calendar and Gantt, so a washed-out day is moved once and every dependent task, crew and client reminder moves with it.

Getting paid in New York

Turn an accepted estimate into an invoice, take card payment through Stripe, bill deposits, milestones or progress claims, and raise change orders that carry their own approval and their own billing. Invoices, payments and change orders all post back to the project, so the financial picture for a New York job is one screen, not three spreadsheets.
