Kitchen remodels are the highest-ticket jobs most contractors bid — and the easiest to lose money on. TradePilot is contractor estimating software designed specifically for kitchen projects, combining LiDAR room scanning, AI-powered estimating, a cabinet and appliance layout tool, and invoicing in one mobile-first estimating app.

Why Kitchen Remodels Are the Hardest Jobs to Estimate

Kitchens are the most complex room in the house to estimate. Cabinets, countertops, backsplash, appliances, flooring, plumbing, electrical, lighting, paint, demo — and every one of those has sub-decisions the homeowner hasn't made yet. Stock cabinets or semi-custom? Granite or quartz? Subway tile or natural stone? Under-cabinet lights or recessed cans?

The layout matters more in a kitchen than any other room. Moving the sink means moving plumbing. Adding an island means checking clearances. Changing the stove location means rerouting gas and ventilation. If your estimate doesn't start with accurate measurements and a clear layout, everything downstream is a guess.

TradePilot solves this by connecting the measurement to the layout to the estimate — so nothing gets lost between "I want to move the island" and the dollar figure on the proposal.

How Kitchen Remodelers Build Estimates With TradePilot

Scan the kitchen with FieldScan

Point your iPhone at the floor and slowly walk the kitchen. LiDAR captures walls, doorways, windows, ceiling height, and the existing layout in about 30 seconds. No measuring individual walls with a tape. No forgetting the distance between the window and the corner.

Plan the new layout with fixtures

Drop in cabinets (base, wall, corner, pantry), appliances (range, refrigerator, dishwasher), sinks, and the island from TradePilot's kitchen fixture library. Snap cabinets to walls, check clearances, and show the homeowner the new layout on your phone screen. This is where you close deals — when the client can see their new kitchen before you quote it.

Build the AI estimate

Tell Pilot AI the scope — "full kitchen remodel, 12x14, 30 LF base cabinets, quartz countertops, subway tile backsplash, LVP flooring, new appliance package." The AI generates a detailed estimate with labor and materials using your rates, your markup, and the scanned dimensions. Every line item, every phase.

Send the proposal with the floor plan

The client gets a professional proposal with the estimate AND the floor plan showing the new layout. They can see what they're getting and what it costs — all in one document. That's how you win a $35K kitchen job over the contractor who texted "around $30-35K, I'll send something this week."

Show the Layout. Send the Estimate. Win the Kitchen.

Scan → Layout → Estimate → Proposal. All from your iPhone. That's the TradePilot workflow for kitchen remodelers.

Kitchen Estimating Features in TradePilot

LiDAR kitchen scanning — Capture the full kitchen layout in 30 seconds. Walls, windows, doorways, ceiling height, and existing fixture locations. No tape measure needed for estimating.
Kitchen fixture library — Base cabinets (12", 24", 36"), wall cabinets, corner cabinets, drawer bases, pantry cabinets, kitchen islands, sinks (single and double), ranges, refrigerators, and dishwashers. Snap to walls, rotate, and plan the layout.
AI estimating — Generate detailed kitchen remodel estimates from a description and scanned dimensions. Pilot AI breaks down demo, cabinets, countertops, backsplash, flooring, plumbing, electrical, appliances, and paint — using your pricing.
Floor plan with cabinet layout — Export a dimensioned floor plan showing the proposed cabinet and appliance layout. Attach it to your proposal so the client knows exactly what they're approving.
Good/Better/Best options — Present three tiers so the client can choose their price point. Stock cabinets vs. semi-custom. Laminate countertops vs. quartz. This increases your average job size without pushing a single upsell.
Invoicing and scheduling — Convert the accepted estimate to an invoice. Schedule the job. Manage the project. All in the same app you estimated from.
No per-user fees — $29/month or $59/month. Bring on a sub or a helper without paying more for software.

Why Showing the Kitchen Layout Wins the Job

Kitchen remodels are emotional purchases. The homeowner has been staring at their outdated kitchen for years and they've got a Pinterest board with 200 saved ideas. They don't just want a price — they want to see what their new kitchen looks like.

The contractor who shows up, scans the kitchen, drops in the new layout on their phone, and says "here's what your kitchen looks like with an island, the range moved to the back wall, and 42-inch uppers" — that contractor gets the job. Even if they're not the cheapest. Because they made the vision real.

A floor plan with a cabinet layout attached to a detailed estimate isn't just professional. It's a sales tool that closes deals. And with TradePilot, you can build it in the time it takes the homeowner to make you a cup of coffee.

What TradePilot Replaces in Your Kitchen Estimating Workflow

Right now most kitchen remodelers are stitching together a workflow from five or six different tools — a tape measure and notepad for dimensions, maybe RoomScan or magicplan for a floor plan, a spreadsheet or Handoff for the estimate, QuickBooks for the invoice, Google Calendar for scheduling. Every time data moves between tools, something gets lost or retyped.

TradePilot replaces all of that with one app. The scan feeds the floor plan. The floor plan feeds the estimate. The estimate feeds the proposal. The proposal feeds the invoice. One workflow, one source of truth, one app on your phone.

Best Estimating Software for Kitchen Remodelers

Kitchen remodels involve more trades, more materials, and more client decisions than almost any other residential project. The estimating software you use needs to handle that complexity — not just give you a blank line-item form.

Generic estimating tools like Jobber and Housecall Pro are built for service calls, not $25-50K kitchen renovations. They don't understand cabinet runs, countertop square footage, or backsplash tile calculations. Handoff's AI is better at understanding project scope, but at $149/month it doesn't include room scanning or layout planning — which are essential for kitchen work where the layout IS the project.

TradePilot is the only contractor estimating app that combines LiDAR scanning, a kitchen-specific fixture library (cabinets, appliances, sinks, islands), AI estimating, and invoicing in one app. The scanned dimensions feed the cabinet layout, the layout feeds the estimate, and the estimate feeds the proposal — all for $29/month.
