Quoting software for exterior contractors
A whole-exterior job is three trades’ worth of scope in one number. Setell drafts it per system — roofing, siding and cladding, windows and doors, water management — so nothing between the systems gets lost, and the winning bid flows straight to a QuickBooks invoice.

Envelope bids fail at the seams between systems
A full exterior is roof, siding, windows, gutters, and trim — each measured differently, each with its own materials, all in one number the owner can compare. Build it by hand and the bid takes evenings, sprawls across a spreadsheet, and quietly drops the tie-ins — the flashing and water-management lines where two systems meet, which is exactly where exteriors fail and disputes start. Meanwhile the owner is comparing you against three single-trade bids that look simpler because they left the hard parts out.

Exterior Contractors quoting: FAQ
Can Setell quote roofing, siding, and windows in one bid?
Yes — that is the job it does here. The quote drafts as per-system sections (roofing, siding, windows and doors, water management) in one document, so the owner sees one organized number instead of three stapled trades.
What if we sub out some of the systems?
Common and covered. Tell Setell which systems you self-perform and which you sub; subbed systems still get their lines and the bid stays whole — and it learns your real sub costs from QuickBooks as jobs close.
Can it handle phased projects?
Yes. Phasing is a revision, not a rebuild: type the change and the revision engine re-prices the affected systems, creates a new version, and keeps a clear before/after for the owner.
Does it sync to QuickBooks?
Yes. Approved bids become QuickBooks invoices automatically (Xero too), so a multi-system job closes the loop without re-keying.
