Get Paid for Every Demo Day With Tile Contractor Software
Demo runs long, the homeowner adds a niche, and the final bill forgets it. Procured puts each surprise and upgrade on paper before the thinset goes down.
Quotes, Bills and Cure Days for Showers and Floors
A tile job leaks money in 6 places. The first is the demo that ran 3 days over.
Price Demo as a Range, Not a Guess
You quoted a day to tear out an old shower, then hit a mud bed on wire lathe. Put demo on its own line, by the hour or as a range. Add a note for what's behind the wall.
- Quote demo by the hour → a long tear-out still pays
- Add a "what I can't see" note → the homeowner agrees first
- Put cracked-shower photos on the quote → the scope is clear
- Photo a homeowner's own wall prep first → fixing it is billable
- Note an out-of-flat floor on the quote → leveling gets priced
- Add backer board and waterproofing as lines → prep isn't free
Price the Shower by Zone and Tile Size
A 5x8 shower with a bench and 24x48 porcelain walls is not one square-foot job. Save your floor, wall and pan rates once. Each quote is built from zones, so nothing hides inside a blended number.
- Save floor, wall and pan rates per sq ft → quotes start priced
- Add niches, benches and curbs as flat lines → each one gets paid
- Add an upcharge for large format → heavy tile pays for handling
- Price mosaic and herringbone above straight lay → extra cuts get paid
- Offer subway or zellige as two options → the homeowner picks
- Save a tub surround as a template → the next one quotes faster
Added Niches Signed Before You Cut Them
Halfway through, the homeowner wants a second niche and a marble mosaic floor. Revise the quote, and they approve it on their phone. The new lines carry to the job and onto the final bill.
- Revise the quote for the added niche → approval comes back online
- Add the mosaic upgrade as a line → the extra hours get paid
- Open the job after a change → the crew sees the new tile
- Keep each revision on the quote → show what they OK'd and when
- Carry upgrades onto the invoice → nothing agreed in the bathroom gets lost
- Get the added niche signed → no fight over the last payment
Builder Bids Agreed Before You Set Tile
The construction manager says "bill it when you're done." Then they push back on your number. Send your subbed price as a quote first, so it's on record. You see when it's viewed and accepted.
- Quote every subbed scope first → the price is on record
- Watch a bid go from Sent to Viewed → call while it's open
- Remind a builder sitting on your bathroom bid → you hear back
- Mark lost bids declined → see which builders are worth chasing
- Bill the builder from the accepted quote → no price argument later
- Log the builder's check when it shows up → the balance updates
Photo Proof Before the Final Check
The shower's done, and the homeowner holds the final check over a grout haze. Your photos show the membrane, the flood test and the finished walls. Send the balance from your phone before you pack the wet saw.
- Photo the flood test → proof the pan held water
- Shoot every membrane seam before board goes up → leak calls get answered
- Snap the finished walls at walkthrough → a dated record of the work
- Get a sign-off at completion → the homeowner's OK is on record
- Send the balance from the finished job → every agreed line carries over
- Collect the balance by card at walkthrough → paid before you load out
- Open last year's job for a grout callback → the history's all there
Cure Days and Crew Notes on One Calendar
A shower takes demo, board, 2 waterproofing coats, set and grout, with drying between. Book each stage as a visit on one job. Your setters read the layout and grout color there, not in a group text.
- Book each stage as its own visit → the calendar shows real days
- Leave a day between membrane coats → no tile over a wet coat
- Slot a backsplash into a cure gap → no dead crew day
- Note layout, offset and grout color → every setter matches it
- Chat about the job on the Team plan → no lost texts
- Have setters clock in at the house → hours line up with priced zones
- Drag the set day when tile ships late → the crew knows first

The Terms for a Small Tile Shop

What Is Tile Contractor Software?
Tile contractor software is a phone and web app for pricing, booking and billing tile work. For a setter, that means a shower quote built from zones and a job split into stages by cure time. Upgrades reach the invoice too. Procured covers that business side. Layout and takeoff work stays in a design or estimating tool.
