Features

Everything you need to design, quote & run the job

StrandQuote is purpose-built for Christmas & permanent lighting pros — from an AI-rendered mockup and an accurate roofline measurement to a branded quote and a full job pipeline. Here’s the whole toolbox.

AI Light Designer

AI turns a photo into a lit mockup

Upload a property photo, pick where the lights go and the look you want, and StrandQuote's AI renders a photorealistic, fully-lit mockup in seconds — C9 rooflines, wrapped trees, and more — plus an instant footage estimate to price the job. Generate up to three design options per home so customers can choose their favorite.

  • Photo → photorealistic mockup in seconds
  • Up to 3 AI design options per home
  • Instant roofline + mini footage estimate
  • Realistic C9 / C7 / mini bulbs

Google Maps + Roofline

Pull the home & measure the roofline — no ladder

No good photo? Pull the property straight from Google Street View by address, right inside the app. Then measure the roofline on a Google satellite aerial — calibrate once, trace the ridgeline, and get accurate linear footage without a site visit. The distance flows straight into your material take-off and price.

  • Pull the home from Google Street View by address
  • Measure roofline distance on a satellite aerial
  • Accurate linear footage without climbing a ladder
  • Feeds material, $/ft, and the quote automatically

Online Quotes & Deposits

Text a link. They pick, sign, and pay the deposit.

Instead of a PDF they have to print, send a link. Your customer opens their quote on their phone, compares your packages side by side, types their name to sign, and pays the deposit by card or bank transfer — in one flow. You get an email the second they accept, and the job moves itself down your pipeline. Deposits go straight into your own Stripe account, not ours.

  • Customer accepts and pays on their phone
  • Card or bank transfer, powered by Stripe
  • Money lands in your Stripe account directly
  • A signed record of exactly what they agreed to

Design & Mockups

Everything you need to show a customer exactly how their home will look.

Built for Christmas lighting

Realistic C9, C7 & mini bulbs on rooflines, ridges, peaks, trees, bushes, and wreaths — as strings, curves, or filled areas.

Draw every strand yourself

Prefer full control? Trace rooflines, wrap trees, fill areas, and drop shapes & text by hand — 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 so the mockup matches what you actually hang.

Estimating & Materials

Turn a design into an accurate, profitable number — automatically.

Measure on the photo or aerial

Calibrate once, then measure rooflines, areas, and trees right on the image — or on a Google satellite view. Footage is split into roofline vs. mini.

Pricing model & installed $/ft

Per-component material costs (by SPT gauge, spacing & bulb) and crew labor rates auto-calculate your installed cost per foot, organized into clean Roofline / Mini / Wreath / Labor tabs.

Material take-off / BOM

An exact shopping list — strings, bulbs, clips, zip cord, plugs & mini-strand counts — per job or across your whole season.

Inventory tracking

Log what you have on hand and StrandQuote nets it against every scheduled install — flagging shortages before install day so you never run out mid-job.

Quote & Close

Send a proposal that looks pro and closes faster.

Branded proposal PDFs

Drop your mockup into a clean, branded proposal — line items, tax, and deposit — with up to three good / better / best packages the customer can pick from. Export a customer-ready PDF in a click.

Customer intake form

Share a link or QR code and let homeowners send you their address, photos, and what they want — 24/7. Submissions land in a review inbox you turn into a job in one click, with no retyping.

Accept & pay online

Your quote becomes a link. The customer picks a package, signs electronically, and pays their deposit by card or bank transfer. Deposits settle into your own Stripe account.

Automatic follow-ups

Quotes go quiet on their own. Set email sequences that chase an unopened quote or an unpaid deposit for you, and get a one-tap text nudge — from your own phone, your own number — for the ones worth a personal touch.

Client Manager + pipeline CRM

Track every job from first contact → quote → deposit → install → paid on a color-coded pipeline board, with revenue, cost, profit & $/ft per client.

Manage & Operate

Run the season, not just the sale.

Crew portal — install & takedown

Send the job to your crew as a link. They get the address, the mockup, the footage and the spec on their phone, work through your checklist, and attach photos. Two links per job: the lead can tick and submit, everyone else is read-only. No pricing is ever shown to a crew.

Season Overview dashboard

One screen for the whole season — booked revenue against profit, rebook rate, revenue per crew-hour, close rate, takedown and storage attach, and crew-days left in the install window. Each number sits next to the industry benchmark it should be read against.

Install calendar & route planning

Schedule installs on a calendar, plan an efficient driving route between the day’s jobs, and assign your crew to each one.

Season-over-season history

Carry customers into next season and rebook them fast, with year-over-year history for every property.

Watermark-free exports

Export clean PNGs & PDFs carrying your own logo — nothing points back to us.
