Work in Texas is scheduled around extreme summer heat, hail season in north Texas, hurricane exposure on the Gulf and occasional hard freezes, and a slipped week has to be re-planned without losing the paper trail. WinkScope puts estimating, invoicing, scheduling, work orders and time tracking in one place for general contractors, remodellers, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roofing, flooring, painting and landscaping firms working in Texas.

The Texas market at a glance

Work in Texas is driven by fast metro housing growth, hail and storm restoration and energy and industrial construction. Licensing runs through no statewide general contractor licence, with TDLR licensing for electrical and HVAC and local registration elsewhere, and approvals go through city development services departments, with wind-borne debris requirements on the coast. 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.

What WinkScope costs in Texas

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 Texas 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 McCoy's Building Supply, Home Depot, Lowe's, 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 Texas weather

Extreme summer heat, hail season in north Texas, hurricane exposure on the Gulf and occasional hard freezes 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 Texas

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 Texas job is one screen, not three spreadsheets.

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 Texas job.
