EstimateElite vs Houzz Pro
Houzz Pro has an estimating tool, and it is for you: you build the estimate after the consultation. The EstimateElite app is for the homeowner: she prices her own kitchen on your website, at your pricing, before she books the consultation. Houzz also sells leads through its advertising package. The app does not sell leads; it filters the ones you already get.

What the app is
A pre qualification tool that lives on your own website, in a text, on your Google profile or in your ads. The homeowner picks the room, enters the size, the ZIP and the features, and sees three prices at your pricing with materials and labor by line. Then the app asks when she is starting, whether the price fits her budget and who decides, scores her out of 10, and sends you the ones worth the drive. Homeowners who cannot afford your quality of service find out on the site and never reach your phone.
You still do your own estimates. The app decides who gets one.
Buy Houzz Pro if
You want your whole back office in one place and Houzz is where your homeowners find you.
Buy the app if
You already have a website and a way of getting homeowners to it, and the problem is which of them are worth a drive.
The things contractors ask us.
Only if you are driving to estimates that go nowhere. Houzz Pro does not stop that; it starts after the consultation.
Find out on your website. Not in your driveway.
A free 20 minute launch call. We run the app on one of your own jobs, set your pricing and the floor for the work you take, and your link works before we hang up.
