How It Works
Run every job from first call to paid
StrandQuote isn't just mockups — a built-in pipeline moves every job through four color-coded phases, so you always know what's next and nothing falls through the cracks.
Every job carries its measurements, material, crew & profit — and rebooks next season in one click.
Features
Every tool a lighting installer actually needs
Purpose-built for Christmas lighting pros. Not a generic design app, not a watered-down sketch tool — every feature is here to help you quote, close, and manage the next job.
AI Light Designer
Upload a photo, pick the areas and look, and AI renders a photorealistic mockup in seconds — with C9-style rooflines and an instant footage estimate. Up to 3 options per home.
Built for Christmas Lighting
Realistic C9, C7 & mini bulbs on rooflines, ridges, peaks, trees & bushes — strings, curves, and filled areas. Mock up to 3 versions per home.
Photo or Google Maps
Upload a property photo or pull a Google Street View of the address right into the app, then draw the lights on it. No design skills needed.
Infinite Colors & Patterns
Any RGB color — warm white, cool white, multicolor, or fully custom — with unlimited repeating patterns to match any product line.
Bulb Size & Spacing
Dial in size and spacing to mimic C7, C9, or mini installs — accurate, realistic mockups customers trust.
Measure On the Photo
Calibrate once, then measure rooflines, areas & trees right on the image — or measure the roofline on a Google aerial view.
Pricing Model & $/ft
Per-component material costs and crew labor rates auto-calculate your installed cost per foot — so every quote is profitable.
Material Take-Off / BOM
An exact shopping list — strings, bulbs, clips, zip cord, plugs & mini-strand counts — per job or across your whole season.
Branded Quote & Proposal PDFs
Drop your mockup into a clean, branded proposal — line items, tax, and deposit — and export a customer-ready PDF in a click.
Accept & Pay Online
Your quote becomes a link. The customer compares packages, signs with their name, and pays the deposit by card or bank transfer — deposits settle straight into your own Stripe account, and you get an email the moment they accept.
Customer Intake Forms
Share a link or QR code and let homeowners send their address, photos, and what they want — around the clock. Every submission lands in a review inbox you turn into a job in one click.
Automatic Follow-Ups
Quotes go quiet on their own. Email sequences chase an unopened quote or an unpaid deposit for you, and a one-tap text nudge — from your phone, your number — handles the ones worth a personal touch.
Crew Portal — Install & Takedown
Text the job to your crew. They get the address, mockup, footage and spec on their phone, work your checklist, and attach photos. The lead can submit; everyone else is read-only — and a crew never sees pricing.
Season Overview
One screen for the whole season — booked revenue beside profit, rebook rate, revenue per crew-hour, close rate, takedown & storage attach, and crew-days left in your install window. Every number next to the benchmark it should beat.
Client Manager + Pipeline
Track every job — first contact → quote → deposit → install → paid — on a pipeline board, with revenue, costs, profit & $/ft per client.
Season-Over-Season & Exports
Rebook customers next season with season-over-season history, and export watermark-free PNGs & PDFs carrying your logo.

FAQ
Common questions
Does StrandQuote use AI?
Yes. The built-in AI Light Designer turns a property photo into a photorealistic, fully-lit mockup in seconds — you pick where the lights go and the look, and the AI renders it (C9-style rooflines, wrapped trees, and more) along with an instant footage estimate to price the job. You can generate up to three design options per home, or draw every strand by hand if you prefer.
Do I need a credit card to try it?
No. The 7-day free trial does not require a credit card. You only enter payment info if you choose to subscribe after the trial.
Do I need design experience?
No. If you can upload a photo and click a mouse, you can create a professional lighting mockup in minutes.
Is it just mockups, or does it help me run the business?
Both. Beyond photo mockups, the built-in Client Manager tracks every job through your pipeline with revenue, costs, and profit — plus season-over-season history to carry customers into next season.
What happens after my free trial?
After 7 days, your account is paused until you subscribe. Your saved designs are kept safe — nothing is deleted.
Can I add my company logo to exports?
Yes. Pro subscribers can upload a custom logo that appears on every exported PNG and PDF.
Is there a contract or commitment?
No. Monthly plans can be canceled anytime. Yearly plans save you 35% and can also be canceled (access continues through the billing period). All paid plans include a 30-day money-back guarantee — if it's not right for you, email us and we'll refund your first charge, no questions asked.
What devices does it work on?
StrandQuote runs in any modern browser on desktop, laptop, or tablet. We recommend a larger screen for the best design experience.
