“It was a no brainer. I’ve been estimating for probably 8 years using just the good ol’ highlighter and paper, wishing for a program that could automate this process. [SketchDeck] frees up more time for your employees to do a better job and better review. With [SketchDeck], we went from doing roughly 30 to 40 estimates a month to hitting 70 monthly.”
