Deck Building Contractor Software in Alabama

A deck isn't a one-day install. Permits take a week, the inspector's backed up, the composite boards are on a two-week lead time, and the homeowner changes the rail style after footings are poured. ExteriorOpsHQ is built for the long-cycle reality of deck building — draw progress payments at framing, decking, and railings; keep permit paperwork attached to the project; track which subs are on-site which week; and document every phase with photos so warranty questions two years from now don't turn into a fight. Alabama deck jobs run long — permits, weather, materials, subs. ExteriorOpsHQ keeps the timeline visible so nothing falls off the schedule mid-build.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I bill progress payments at framing, decking, and railing stages?

Yes. Break the contract into milestones with their own invoices. The customer knows what each payment covers, and you don't eat material costs waiting for a final check.

How does it handle permits and HOA approvals that take weeks?

Each project has a permit status field plus document attachments. When the inspector finally signs off, the next stage of the job unlocks. No more calling the office to ask if the permit came through.

Can I track subcontractors like concrete and electrical?

Yes. Add subs to the project with their own scope and schedule. If the framing sub is a week behind, the decking sub sees it too.

How much does ExteriorOpsHQ cost?

$79/month for the first crew, $30/month per additional crew. Every feature is included — no upsell tiers, no per-user fees for your office staff. 14-day free trial, no credit card to start.

Does it work on a phone in the field?

Yes. The mobile app handles check-ins, photos, estimate updates, and schedule changes from the job site in Alabama. It works offline and syncs when you get signal back.

How long does it take to switch from spreadsheets or paper?

Most deck building contractors are running their next job through ExteriorOpsHQ within a day. Import your existing customer list, set up your price book once, and go. If you want help, we'll do the setup call with you.
