Schedule, trades, photo proof, client proposals, invoices and books — in one app that fits in your pocket. Your trades and clients never install anything.
Here's a job going through Renoline — the schedule, the trades, the client's page, the money.
Start from a template that already knows the phases, the materials and the photos each job needs. Change anything.
Timeline by job or by person. Red when someone's double-booked. Move a phase and everything after it moves — with the texts to your trades ready to send.
Trades get a link, not a login. They confirm, pick an arrival time, tick the materials and send before & after photos. You approve from your phone; the client only sees the approved ones.
Snap a receipt and Renoline reads the amount, tax and supplier. Job costs, overhead, HST to set aside and who still owes you — always current, ready for your accountant.
Every job, where it is, what's at risk, who's where this week, and your 90-day numbers — cycle time, on-time %, punch items, warranty calls. Open it on the big screen.
Every proposal, client page and invoice is a link you text. It works on any phone, in any language, with nothing to download.
Proposals they sign on the spotLine items, optional add-ons they can tick, deposit on acceptance. Signed on the screen, logged with time and IP.
A page that answers "how's it going?"Progress, schedule, approved photos, selections with deadlines, change orders to approve, warranty requests after handover.
Invoices they pay by card or e-TransferDeposit, progress and final invoices in two taps. Card payments land in your Stripe account; e-Transfers get matched when you log them.
"We run two to four bathrooms at a time with a dozen trades on text. The big platforms wanted logins for every sub, weeks of onboarding and $500 a month. So we built the tool we actually needed — and it's been running our own jobs since day one."

Move the sliders. This is a simple estimate — one missed phase or one unpaid invoice a month adds up fast.
Trades and clients are always free — they use links, not logins. Prices in CAD, billed monthly, cancel any time.
Renovation contractors running one to ten jobs at a time with a small office — bathrooms, kitchens, basements, design-build, plumbing and service work. If your trades live on text and your books live in a shoebox, it's for you.
Sign up, add your first job, invite your office. No card needed. At the end of 30 days you pick a plan; nothing is deleted while you decide.

About 10 minutes: company name, your templates (we give you three), your first job. Bringing your existing jobs and bookkeeping across from a spreadsheet or another app is a one-time import.
Books tracks payments in, expenses out (with receipt photos), the HST you've collected and paid, and profit per job. Export everything for your accountant any time. It is not a replacement for filing your taxes.
