The quote starts at the roofline
On a gutter job, a total is only as useful as the measurements behind it. The person walking the property needs to note the runs and downspouts, take photos, and turn that survey into a quote the customer understands. The crew later needs to know exactly what was sold, not just what it cost.
Keep what was measured with what was sold
Trough starts with the survey: draw the roofline, record the runs, and estimate the job against the contractor’s own price book. The proposal grows out of that work instead of being typed into a second system from scratch. The survey and the sold scope stay with the job as it moves toward installation. That continuity is the design choice: the installer shouldn’t have to work backwards from the invoice to figure out what was promised.
