Siding contractors on Command
quote faster, document better,
and protect their real margin.
Built for siding - not adapted from generic software. Satellite measurements. Storm claim documentation. Material repricing alerts. 72-hour follow-up automation. All configured before you go live.
The problems most software ignores.
Accuracy is everything - but you're still climbing ladders.
Satellite measurement accuracy for siding is critical. Every foot of material ordered is a foot someone touches, cuts, and installs. Yet most contractors still climb ladders, tape measure in hand, before they can even write a number. Your competitor pulled satellite data and emailed the estimate before you got your boots back on.
Photos in text threads. Claims denied months later.
Storm damage claims require documented photo evidence organized by location, scope, and date. That evidence lives in your phone's camera roll and three different group texts. When the adjuster asks for supporting documentation six weeks later, nothing is findable. Claims are underpaid. Jobs close short.
Material costs moved. Your open estimates didn't.
Vinyl, fiber cement, and engineered wood pricing fluctuates with supply chains. You sent 12 estimates last week. Material costs changed yesterday. You have no idea which estimates are now underpriced, which are still competitive, or which to revise before the homeowner accepts a number you can't fulfill at margin.
Homeowners get 4+ bids. You follow up on none.
The average siding homeowner collects four bids. 44% make their decision within 72 hours of receiving the first quote. If you're not first in their inbox and you're not following up on day 2, you're handing the job to whoever is. No CRM reminder is going to fix undisciplined follow-up - you need automation.
Before Command. After Command.
6 things built for siding.
Satellite-powered siding estimates
Customer texts their address. Command pulls satellite measurements for every wall elevation, applies your configured material pricing (vinyl, fiber cement, engineered wood), adds labor and trim, and sends a branded estimate in under 60 seconds. You are always first. You never climb before you quote.
Storm damage documentation engine
Every photo, every elevation, every damage note stored per job - organized by location. When the adjuster asks for supporting documentation, Command generates the complete packet: timestamped photos, scope of damage, affected square footage by side. No text threads. No lost evidence. No underpayments.
Material repricing alert
Siding material costs change · Command identifies every affected open estimate, calculates the new margin, and gives you a one-tap option to revise and resend with updated pricing. You catch every margin problem before the homeowner accepts a number you can't honor.
72-hour follow-up automation
44% of siding leads decide within 72 hours of their first quote. Command fires an automated follow-up sequence - SMS on day 1, call on day 2, final SMS on day 3 - for every open estimate without you touching your phone. You follow up on all of them. Every time.
Multi-material estimate engine
Fiber cement, vinyl, LP SmartSide, cedar, and wood shake - each with their own labor rates, install times, and warranty documentation requirements. Command supports all of them in the same estimate flow. Switch material types mid-estimate without starting over.
Insurance claim workflow
Command walks crews through a structured damage inspection: photo by elevation, damaged linear footage logged, adjuster notes captured. Everything is formatted for insurance line codes automatically. Supplement requests are auto-generated when scope expands. Nothing falls through.
How Command works for siding.
From the first call to the final payroll run - every step automated, every handoff tracked.
Homeowner calls or texts about storm damage or a siding replacement
The AI phone agent picks up every call. It introduces itself as your company's scheduling assistant, asks qualifying questions (current material, damage description, urgency), and logs the lead instantly. No voicemail. No hold. No missed opportunity - even when you're on a job site.
AI captures address, damage details, and requests elevation photos
The agent collects the property address, guides the homeowner through describing the affected elevations, and sends an SMS prompt requesting photos of all four sides. Every detail is timestamped and attached to the lead record before a human ever touches it. Storm damage leads are flagged separately for insurance documentation.
Satellite measurements + photos = instant estimate by material type
Command pulls satellite measurements for every wall elevation. Combined with homeowner photos and your configured pricing by material (vinyl, fiber cement, LP SmartSide), a branded estimate is generated in under 60 seconds. Window and door deductions calculated, trim linear footage broken out, labor rate applied.
Estimate sent via SMS link - homeowner can accept, compare materials, or schedule
The homeowner gets a mobile-optimized estimate link by text. Three options: Accept (triggers job creation), Compare Materials (shows side-by-side pricing for vinyl vs. fiber cement), or Schedule an Inspection. No app download. No login. Works on every phone.
Job auto-created in dispatch, permit filed if needed, crew assigned
On acceptance, Command creates the job, checks local permit requirements and files automatically, adds the job to your dispatch board, and notifies the assigned crew. GPS-verified clock-in and payroll calculations run from that moment forward. Material order triggered based on accepted scope.
A real estimate. In 60 seconds.
This is what lands in the homeowner's SMS within a minute of their call. Branded, itemized, actionable.
A week in the life with Command.
Daily brief. Open estimates flagged.
You wake up to the Daily Brief - 9 open estimates from last week. Three were opened multiple times without a response. Command already fired follow-up texts to all three at 7:30am with a gentle nudge and a link back to the estimate. You didn't touch your phone. Two of them respond before noon.
Vinyl pricing spikes. You catch it before it costs you.
A distributor price increase goes into effect. Command detects 5 open estimates that used the old vinyl pricing and flags all of them with the updated margin. You review, revise two that are close to expiring, and send updated estimates with a one-line note. All in four minutes. No spreadsheet math. No surprise at material order.
Storm lead calls. You're on a roof.
A homeowner calls about hail damage to the north and west elevations. You're on a job site. The AI agent takes the call, qualifies the damage, guides the homeowner through photographing both elevations, and logs the lead with photos before you ever get a notification. Satellite estimate fires 40 minutes later. You review it on your lunch break.
Sarah closes the $16K Hardie job.
Sarah is wrapping the job when the homeowner texts 'ready to move forward.' Command converts the estimate to a job automatically, shows Sarah the margin - estimate $16,200, projected cost $13,800, $2,400 gross. She knows before she orders material. Permit filed. Crew notified. You get a push notification and close the week up one more closed job.

Siding-specific answers.
How does Command handle satellite measurement for siding estimates?
Command's satellite measurement engine calculates wall elevation square footage per side of the structure - not just roof area. It accounts for window and door openings in the deduction calculation, breaks out linear footage for J-channel, corner posts, and soffit trim, and feeds all of it into your configured material pricing by product type. Accuracy on standard single-family structures is within ±4% of field measurements, validated against completed jobs. Complex additions may require an on-site verification, but the estimate lands before you ever drive out.
Does Command support fiber cement, vinyl, and wood siding pricing?
Yes. Command includes separate estimate flows for all major siding material categories: vinyl (standard and insulated), fiber cement (James Hardie, Allura), LP SmartSide engineered wood, cedar bevel, and wood shake. Each material type has its own configured labor rates, install time multipliers, and warranty documentation requirements. Homeowners can compare options side-by-side in the estimate link they receive.
How does Command track storm damage documentation for insurance claims?
Command walks your crew through a structured elevation-by-elevation inspection: photos tagged by side, dents and cracks logged with linear footage, scope notes captured in the field. Everything is timestamped, GPS-tagged, and organized into adjuster-ready documentation automatically. When the adjuster requests evidence, Command generates the complete claim packet - photos, scope by elevation, affected square footage, and supplement request templates. Nothing lives in a text thread.
Can Command alert me when material costs change on open estimates?
Yes. Command monitors your configured material pricing against open estimates continuously. When a price change affects an open estimate's margin by more than your configured threshold, Command flags it, shows you the updated margin, and gives you a one-tap option to revise and resend with a note. You never let a homeowner accept a price you can't fulfill at margin - and you never find out after you've already ordered material.
