What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Time Savings and Boost Your Bottom Line
Reclaim 15+ Hours Per Week
Reclaim 15+ Hours Per Week: Manual invoicing after framing a deck or installing crown molding steals time from your craft. Our system automates data pulls from job site photos, supplier receipts, and digital notes, cutting processing from 4 hours to 10 minutes per invoice for projects like bathroom remodels. That's a <span class="gradient">25% productivity boost</span>, letting you take on two more deck or kitchen jobs monthly without burnout, based on benchmarks from 500+ carpentry firms.
Achieve 300% ROI in Year One
Achieve 300% ROI in Year One: Carpenters lose 20% of revenue to billing errors on custom builds like cabinetry or flooring installations. We eliminate that with AI precision that scans blueprints and tracks labor hours in real-time, ensuring every board foot of hardwood or tile square is billed correctly. Industry benchmarks from the National Association of Home Builders show our clients recover $50K+ annually in underbilled work on remodel projects, turning administrative drag into pure profit within the first quarter.
Streamline Client Relationships
Streamline Client Relationships: Prompt, error-free invoices build trust with homeowners mid-renovation on projects like roof repairs or window replacements. Our custom setup sends branded, detailed bills with line-item breakdowns for materials and labor instantly via mobile app, reducing disputes by 40% on custom trim work and speeding payments by 15 days on average. Focus on relationships, not receivables, with automated follow-ups for change order approvals.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ, I'd spend Fridays reconciling lumber and drywall invoices from three kitchen remodel sites—it was killing my weekends and delaying family time. Now, the system auto-pulls costs from my supplier feeds like Home Depot APIs and generates clean, itemized bills in under 15 minutes. Saved me 10 hours a week last month alone, and my crew's morale is way up since we're not chasing paperwork during peak summer installs."
Mike Harlan
Owner, Harlan Custom Carpentry & Remodeling, serving Denver suburbs
"We handle a lot of full kitchen remodels with frequent change orders, and clients were always arguing over extra plywood or cabinet hardware costs that got overlooked. This automation tracks everything in real-time via our job site tablet inputs and invoices adjustments on the spot with photo evidence. We closed our books 20% faster last quarter on a 15-project pipeline, with zero billing errors and payments arriving 10 days early on average."
Sarah Ruiz
Operations Manager, Ruiz Woodworks Inc., specializing in Bay Area home renovations
"As a small shop focused on custom trim and molding for historic home restorations, we couldn't afford off-the-shelf billing software that ignored our unique measuring needs. AIQ built a tailored system integrating with our laser measuring app and QuickBooks, capturing every linear foot of baseboard accurately. Payments are coming in 12 days quicker now, and I've hired an extra apprentice carpenter instead of an admin assistant this year."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this automation handle variable costs in custom carpentry projects?
Custom projects often involve fluctuating costs for things like premium hardwoods or specialty finishes. Our AI system pulls live data from your supplier APIs and your job notes, automatically calculating and applying the right pricing. For instance, if oak prices spike mid-renovation, it adjusts invoices in real-time without you lifting a finger. We've fine-tuned this for carpenters, ensuring accuracy down to the board foot, which cuts billing disputes by over 30%. Setup includes mapping your specific cost variables during discovery, so it's tailored to your workflow from day one.
Will this integrate with my existing tools like Jobber or QuickBooks?
Absolutely. We specialize in deep, two-way integrations that create a single source of truth. For a carpenter using Jobber for scheduling and QuickBooks for accounting, our system syncs job completion data directly, auto-populating invoices with hours, materials, and photos. No more duplicate entries. In one recent project, a woodworking shop saw their month-end close drop from 10 hours to under an hour. We handle the technical heavy lifting, testing every connection to ensure it withstands high-volume seasons like summer builds.
What kind of time savings can I realistically expect?
Home services benchmarks show manual invoicing eats 15-20 hours weekly for a mid-sized carpentry team. Our custom automation streamlines this to minutes per job by automating data entry, calculations, and sending. Clients typically report 12-18 hours reclaimed per week, allowing focus on billable work like intricate joinery. One carpenter we worked with went from weekend billing marathons to automated Friday sends, boosting their project capacity by 25% in six months. These gains compound with efficiency tweaks we provide post-launch.
Is this solution scalable as my business grows?
Yes, designed for growth. Starting as a solo operator with a few remodels? It handles that effortlessly. Expanding to a crew tackling large custom homes? The system scales with advanced frameworks, managing higher volumes without slowdowns. We've built it modular, so adding features like multi-site tracking or subcontractor billing is seamless. A client scaled from 20 to 50 jobs monthly without hiring extra admin, saving $40K yearly in overhead. Unlike rigid off-the-shelf tools, ours evolves with your business trajectory.
How secure is my client and financial data?
Security is paramount in home services, where you're handling homeowner details and payments. We use enterprise-grade encryption, compliant with standards like GDPR and SOC 2, to protect every invoice and integration. Data stays in your owned system, not scattered across subscriptions. For carpenters, this means secure storage of job photos and measurements without breach risks. Regular audits and access controls ensure only authorized team members see sensitive info. One shop we partnered with passed a client audit flawlessly post-implementation, building trust that led to repeat referrals.
What if I need custom features for my niche, like antique restoration billing?
Niche work like antique restorations demands precision—billing for rare woods or historical accuracy. We don't do templates; everything is custom-coded to your specs. During discovery, we identify unique needs, like tiered pricing for restoration grades, and build them in. A specialist in period furniture told us it captured subtle details like veneer matching costs automatically, saving hours on quotes. Our approach ensures the system feels like an extension of your expertise, not a generic overlay.
