Estimates, change orders, trade partner scheduling, and QuickBooks sync — one system, built inside a working remodeling company.
Gut jobs, whole-home, design-build. Two people or fifteen. The work looks different — the paperwork doesn't.
Tile guy, cabinets, countertops, electrician, plumber, tile guy again, painter. Six weeks of group texts.
"While you're in there, can you also…" turns into unpaid work that never gets documented or billed.
"Did the tile for Martinez get ordered?" "I think so?" "From where?" Happens on every job.
The job felt profitable until you tally up actual material costs, the subs, and the one thing you forgot to charge for.
Kitchen, bath, and whole-home remodeling with phases, change orders, and trade partner handoffs — built for the way remodels actually run.
Unlimited projects, unlimited team, unlimited trade partners, unlimited clients. Every feature included on day one.

Laura is the operations person at Alpha Remodelers, a veteran-owned kitchen and bath company based in Chandler, Arizona. She keeps the schedule, the estimates, the change orders, the trade partners, and handles the bookkeeping — all at once. Contractors who work with Alpha keep saying the same thing:
"I need my own Laura."
So she built one.
MY LAURA runs on the exact same systems Laura uses to run Alpha — because Alpha is still using it. Every feature you see gets tested on real kitchen gut-jobs, real tile installs, real "the cabinet delivery is two weeks late" Tuesdays.
This isn't software designed in a conference room by people who've never held a tape measure. This is what a real remodeling office runs on, shipped to yours.
The features you actually use, every day.
Leads from Angi, Thumbtack, Houzz, or your own site land in one inbox. Everyone sees who's answered.
Sections, line items, markup, digital signatures. Send by email or SMS.
Automatic nudges after an estimate goes out. The lead you'd have forgotten doesn't get forgotten.
The schedule everyone sees, in the calendar app they already use.
Building a schedule by hand took forty-five minutes. Now the estimate does it.
Change orders, invoices, and sub payments — every dollar tied to the job.
Where clients review, approve, sign, and pay — branded to your business.
Every trade gets their own portal + calendar feed. Unlimited seats, included.
Your client knows what to buy and by when — pulled from the estimate you already wrote.
Find the money you already earned but haven't invoiced for yet.
Real-time project profitability, AR/AP, lead conversion, Excel export.
Every QuickBooks plan — and your items come with you.
Real two-way integrations, not Zapier band-aids. Your data stays portable.
MY LAURA pulls your items, vendors, and chart of accounts from QuickBooks at setup — no rebuilding your item list from scratch. Invoices, payments, and expenses push back to QBO automatically. Works with every QBO tier from Simple Start to Advanced.
Every trade partner, client, and team member gets a personal calendar feed. Subscribe once in Apple Calendar, Google, or Outlook — schedule changes flow in automatically. Your MY LAURA schedule stays the single source of truth.
Automatic per-project folders. Photos, permits, and contracts sync to your Drive — not locked inside our database.
Clients pay invoices online with your own Stripe account. You keep your processing rate. No platform markup.
Leads from Angi, Thumbtack, Houzz, or your own site show up as leads — and everyone can see whether anyone's answered.
These are the tools most remodelers ask for. Missing something? Email laura@getmylaura.com — we prioritize new integrations based on real customer requests.
MY LAURA connects to your QuickBooks and pulls in your vendors, items, and clients automatically. Your communication templates are already written. You run a real job on day one.
Connect QuickBooks, import your data, run your first project — today. No configuration week. No IT required.
MY LAURA syncs your existing vendors, items, customers, and chart of accounts from QuickBooks on first login. You're not starting from a blank screen.
Client intro messages, change order notifications, trade scheduling texts, invoice reminders — all pre-loaded and ready to customize. You don't write them from scratch.
Every MY LAURA account includes a free jump-start call — a working session with the team, not a sales call. Setup takes under a day. Your first real project runs on what you set up in it.
$299/month flat when the trial ends. No credit card. No setup fee. No learning curve.
An honest side-by-side. Each is real software with real users. Most of them just aren't built for the shape of remodeling.

See the full comparisonEvery feature. Unlimited everything. No per-seat pricing. No tiers.
I picked a 30-day free trial for a specific reason: this pays for itself inside one project, and thirty days is enough to start and finish one. I didn't want to hand somebody a month and have onboarding eat it — I sat through three separate sessions with our last platform and still spent most of my time googling. Nobody should lose their trial to setup.
So setup is short on purpose. You can enter a lead after a quick company setup. Give it a full day — adding your items, building your templates, tuning your schedule — and you're running real projects. There's no setup fee and no implementation call you have to wait for.
When we left our last platform, our item catalogue — five years of descriptions, costs, and margins — I was told couldn't be exported, so I retyped all three hundred entries by hand. Our signed estimates I only got because it occurred to me to download them one at a time before we closed the account. I got lucky once. I didn't want anyone else to need luck.
Connect Google Drive and your signed estimates land in your own Drive. Documents and photos you add to a project go there too. Your item library exports. Whatever happens later, what you put in is already yours and already somewhere you control.
It works with every QuickBooks Online tier — Simple Start, Essentials, Plus, and Advanced. Some sync features (like class tracking) require QBO Plus or higher, which is a QuickBooks limitation, not ours. We'll tell you in the integration settings which features your tier supports.
You have full access until the end of your current subscription period to export everything you need — estimates, invoices, projects, clients, and reports as CSV. Your Google Drive folders stay in your Drive. Your QuickBooks data stays in QuickBooks. MY LAURA was designed to be a tool you use — not a hostage situation.
It works great on iOS and Android. Tap "Add to Home Screen" and it behaves like a native app, including push notifications — with the bonus that every update ships to every device instantly.
You do. Full stop. We have a limited license to host and display your content so the product works, and that license terminates when you cancel. We don't train AI on your data, we don't sell it, and we don't share it with anyone outside the services you've connected (QuickBooks, Google, Stripe).
MY LAURA is registered for A2P 10DLC messaging and every account gets its own carrier-registered business number. Client and trade partner SMS opt-ins are captured and logged automatically. Every outbound SMS includes the required opt-out language. It's handled at the platform level — you don't have to think about it.
Not yet publicly. We're focused on shipping first-party integrations (QuickBooks, Google, Stripe) because those cover 95% of what contractors ask for. If you have a specific integration or use case in mind, email laura@getmylaura.com.
