WinkScope helps deck builders quote faster, schedule smarter, and get paid sooner. Stop wasting time on paperwork and focus on what you do best: building amazing decks.
Accurate estimates are crucial for deck builders, but measuring lumber, railings, and fasteners can be time-consuming. With WinkScope, you can ditch the paper and spreadsheet estimates. Our AI estimating tools help deck builders quickly generate detailed quotes for everything from composite decks to custom cedar designs. The photo-to-estimate AI lets you snap a picture of an existing space and get a head start on material takeoff. You can also build out a comprehensive price book for common deck materials and labor, ensuring every deck builder on your team is quoting consistently. Save your custom deck designs as templates to reuse on similar jobs, so you’re not starting from scratch every time. This means less time calculating and more time building.
Managing multiple deck projects can be a juggling act, especially when coordinating crews, material deliveries, and weather delays. WinkScope makes scheduling simple for deck builders. Our scheduling tools allow you to easily plan out each phase of a deck build, from digging footings to final railing installation. Assign specific tasks and work orders to your crew members, who can access their schedules and job details through the portal. Track time on the job site with integrated time tracking, ensuring accurate payroll and project costing for every deck. If a sudden rainstorm delays a build, you can quickly adjust schedules and notify your entire deck building team, keeping everyone on the same page.
Getting paid for your hard work shouldn't be the hardest part of building a deck. WinkScope streamlines invoicing for deck builders, helping you close out projects quickly and improve cash flow. Create professional invoices for completed deck projects in minutes, breaking down costs clearly for your clients. Our client portal allows customers to view their invoices, approve change orders, and make payments directly online through secure Stripe integration. If a client wants to add a deck railing upgrade mid-project, you can easily generate a change order and get digital approval, avoiding disputes later. No more chasing down payments; just finished deck projects and happy clients.

WinkScope is an all-in-one platform for deck builders. It covers line-item estimating and AI scope writing, signed proposals, a client portal, scheduling and Gantt charts, work orders, change orders, job costing, milestone invoicing and card payments in one place. Plans start at $29.99/month with a 15-day free trial, no credit card required.
WinkScope starts at $29.99/month for the Starter plan, $79.99/month for Pro and $199/month for Agency, with no setup fee and a 15-day free trial. That entry price is below most all-in-one construction platforms, which commonly start between $99 and $499 per month, while still including estimating, scheduling, invoicing and a client portal.
Deck Builders use WinkScope to estimate and invoice from the same record: the accepted estimate becomes the project, change orders adjust the approved total, and invoices can be raised in full, as a deposit, by progress or by milestone. Payments run through Stripe or can be marked paid manually, and invoices sync with QuickBooks Online or Xero.
Yes. WinkScope AI drafts scope of work, materials and labour lines for deck builders from plans, site photos or a written description, then you edit every line, markup and tax before sending. The AI drafts; it never sends an estimate or invoice on its own.
Yes. A change order can be raised mid-job with a description, amount and schedule impact, then sent to the client portal for one-click approval or decline. Approved change orders update the project total and become billable; declined ones do not.
Every client gets a private portal on all plans. They can review and sign estimates, approve change orders, view schedule and photos, message you, download documents and pay invoices. No app install and no separate subscription for the client.
WinkScope covers the same lifecycle — estimate, proposal, schedule, work orders, change orders, job costing, invoicing and client portal — at a $29.99/month entry price with a 15-day free trial and no onboarding fee. It does not do payroll processing, white-labelling or lead generation, so a deck builder business that needs those will use a separate tool alongside it.
Sign-up takes minutes with no credit card. Templates for deck builders and a price book are included, so a first estimate can usually go out the same day. Existing clients, estimates and invoices can be brought in by CSV import or a guided migration.
