Overview

Dirt Face is professional fence estimating software and contractor business management built for fence companies. It helps you create accurate quotes, design fence layouts, produce material lists, attach shop drawings, schedule crews, invoice customers, and run day-to-day operations from one platform.

If you are evaluating fence quoting software, Dirt Face is built around how fence contractors actually sell and install work, not generic construction estimating alone.

Who Dirt Face is for

Dirt Face fits fence contractors who want to:

  • Quote residential and commercial fence jobs faster
  • Standardize takeoffs from a real parts catalog
  • Send professional proposals customers can review online
  • Move won work into jobs, schedules, and invoices without retyping
  • Give office and field teams one shared system

Solo estimators, growing crews, and multi-location fence companies all use Dirt Face. Plans scale from Solo through larger teams.

How Dirt Face fits a typical fence job

Lead → Estimate → Customer approval → Job → Schedule → Install → Invoice → Payment

You do not have to use every step. Many contractors start with estimating and proposals, then add scheduling, inventory, or accounting sync when they are ready.

Why contractors switch from spreadsheets

Spreadsheets and one-off PDF templates make it hard to keep catalog costs, labor assumptions, and proposal formatting consistent. Dirt Face keeps quoting, takeoffs, and follow-through in one place so your office and field are looking at the same job.
