For remodelers running on spreadsheets + QuickBooks

Know if the job is still making money — while you can still do something about it.

MarginLasso sits next to your spreadsheets and QuickBooks — it doesn't replace them. Estimate with your own numbers, get change orders signed on-site in 60 seconds, and get a heads-up the moment a job starts drifting off its margin.

Built with founding remodelers now. First 20 companies lock in $79/mo for life — and get a direct line to the founder.

Sound familiar?

The estimate lives in Excel. The costs live in QuickBooks. The truth lives nowhere.

You find out a job went sideways weeks after it closed — when the only thing left to do is promise yourself it won't happen again.

"Hey, while you're at it, could you just…"

The crew does the extra work to keep things moving. Three weeks later, there's no signature, no invoice, no way you're bringing it up with the client now. That was real money. You ate it.

Your all-in-one system knew everything except what mattered.

Buildertrend, CoConstruct, Houzz Pro — 40 features, four of them useful, and you still couldn't tell if the Miller job was on budget. So you went back to spreadsheets. Fair.

How much unbilled work did you eat last year?

Answer 4 questions. Get your number. It's usually worse than you think.

Your estimated unbilled change-order loss last year:

$0

That's money for work you already did. For context: the average remodeler's net margin is just 6.3% (NAHB, 2024) — on a $1M business, that's ~$63K of profit for the whole year. If your number above is even half right, unbilled changes ate a meaningful slice of it.

How it works

1

Estimate like you already do — just protected.

Import your own Excel template. Every line gets a margin floor: bid below your minimum and MarginLasso flags it before the proposal goes out.

2

Change orders signed in 60 seconds, on-site.

Photo, three lines, price → text the client a link → signed before the dust settles. It's automatically added to the contract value and the budget. No more "we'll sort it out at the end."

3

Know where every job stands — without opening QuickBooks.

MarginLasso reads your QBO costs and compares them to your estimate, line by line. When actuals hit 85% of budget at 60% completion, you get a text. That's the conversation-with-the-client moment — while there's still leverage.

No scheduling module. No CRM. No client portal. No 6-week onboarding.

MarginLasso does one job: it protects the margin you bid. Keep your spreadsheets. Keep QuickBooks. Keep your workflow. We just stop the leaks.

Simple pricing. No per-user games. No annual contract.

Fair questions

Is this another Buildertrend?

No — and that's the point. All-in-ones want to run your whole company. MarginLasso is a layer on top of what you already use. If you love your spreadsheet, keep it. We make it bulletproof.

I'm not organized enough in QuickBooks for this.

You're in the majority. If your costs aren't tagged to jobs yet, we'll show you the 20-minute setup (or send it to your bookkeeper — they'll know exactly what to do). And the estimating + change order side works from day one regardless.

When can I get it?

We're building it right now with a small group of founding remodelers. Early access opens in waves — first come, first in. Founding companies get $79/mo locked for life and a direct line to the founder.

What happens to my data if I leave?

It's yours. One-click export of everything — estimates, signed change orders, cost history. No hostage-taking. (We've read the same Capterra reviews you have.)
