Built for owner-run companies in Utah
AI for remodeling companies
A remodeling company lives on two things: answering a homeowner before the next contractor does, and keeping that homeowner calm for the twelve weeks their kitchen is torn apart. Both eat the owner's evenings.
We find the jobs eating your week, build AI that does them inside the software you already run, train your people on it, and send you a scorecard every month showing the hours coming back.
The jobs we hand to AI first
In order, starting with the ones that take the least setup. Each one says what the AI takes and what stays with your people.
1. New leads answered and followed up
What the AI takes: Every inquiry gets an answer the same hour, the basics get asked (scope, address, timing, budget), and follow-ups go out until they reply.
What stays with a person: The site walk, and deciding which jobs you want.
2. Estimates drafted from your own prices
What the AI takes: Your walkthrough notes become a line-by-line draft from your price sheet, with the math shown, and it asks when a number is missing.
What stays with a person: Every line gets your review before the homeowner sees it.
3. Homeowner updates every week
What the AI takes: An update drafted from the daily logs and photos, waiting for your yes.
What stays with a person: Bad news. That gets a phone call from you.
4. Change orders written before the work
What the AI takes: When the crew flags extra work, a change order is drafted with the scope and price lines and sent for a signature.
What stays with a person: The price and the conversation with the homeowner.
5. Subs and suppliers confirmed
What the AI takes: Confirmations go out two days before each trade or delivery, and the replies get logged.
What stays with a person: Rescheduling when something slips.
6. Review requests at the finish
What the AI takes: When the job closes, the homeowner gets a short note asking for a review, with the link.
What stays with a person: Replying to reviews.
Connects to Buildertrend and QuickBooks. Nothing sends without your yes.

How working with us goes
Time Back Score. Free, five minutes. Tell us the one job eating your week. You get a score on screen and a report by email with that job priced in hours and dollars and the three things to fix first. If it's a fit, a free 30-minute call follows and you leave with a written first fix.
Operations Blueprint. About two weeks. A half-day session with your team, interviews with your key people, every recurring job mapped and priced, a plan, and a working demo on your data that you keep either way. Start within 30 days and the fee becomes your first month.
Operations Partner. From $2,500 a month. Within 30 days your Command Center is live, your first workflow runs on real data, and your team is trained. After that, new workflows land on a set cadence, everything stays maintained, and a scorecard arrives every month with the hours coming back.
You own all of it. Your accounts, phone numbers, and data stay in your name, and the exit terms are in writing before we start.

Questions owners ask us
- Can AI really write a remodeling estimate?
- It writes the draft from your prices, not its own. We give away a free version: the Estimate Drafter at ridgeforce.ai/estimate-drafter, tested on basement finishing jobs. It matched the price sheet to the cent on complete jobs and asked for missing numbers instead of guessing. You still check every line.
- Does it work with Buildertrend?
- Yes, plus QuickBooks, Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, and your CRM. The hookup gets scoped in the Blueprint, before you pay for any build.
- What does it cost?
- Partner plans start at $2,500 a month, with month one included and no setup fee. Before that comes a Blueprint, about two weeks, priced to the size of your business, and the fee becomes your first month if you start within 30 days. Only need one thing fixed? A single workflow plus our Care plan is priced to the job. You get the exact number on the call, before you commit to anything.
- Where are you based?
- Eagle Mountain, Utah. We work with owners in Utah County, Salt Lake County, and the wider Wasatch Front, and we come on site for the team session that opens every Blueprint.
- Do we need technical people on our team?
- No. We build it, train your team on every workflow, and you run it in plain English. Our founder doesn't write code by hand either.
- Who owns what you build?
- You do. Your CRM, phone numbers, email, and accounting stay in your name. If you leave after the first 90 days, you get your data and what we built, under exit terms we put in writing before we start.
