What gets in the way
Where the time goes, and what changes.
A renovation contractor sells big jobs to homeowners who collect several bids. The sale can take weeks. After months of work, the best new leads come from that homeowner's friends and neighbours. Most contractor marketing sends the same canned message to everyone. A note about their kitchen gets an answer.
The enquiry just says "kitchen reno"
A homeowner sends two lines through your form. They sent the same two lines to four other contractors. The canned reply says "Call our office for a free estimate." That puts the work back on them, and some never call.
Chip writes back within minutes, the way you would. He asks about timing, budget range and whether they have drawings, then offers two times for a site visit. A short form collects photos first. If you miss their call on site, they can get a text back in minutes, if you want that. Answer every lead in minutes and Forms, intake and surveys do this.
Writing the bid eats your evenings
A basement or addition bid needs the scope, allowances for tile and fixtures, a schedule and a payment plan. You write it after supper from site notes. It goes out three days later. By then the homeowner has met two other contractors.
Quotes that close turns your site notes and past bids into a full draft overnight. The prices stay yours. You read it in the truck, change what you want and send it the next morning.
The bid went out, then three weeks of silence
The homeowner is waiting on a spouse, the bank or a holiday. Calling feels pushy, so a week becomes a month. A note that says "just following up on our estimate" gets ignored.
Chip checks in on a schedule you set. Each note is about their job, such as whether to price the basement separately. He stops when they say yes or no. Follow-ups that never stop does this.
Handover day goes well, then nobody hears about it
On the last day, the homeowner walks through the new kitchen and loves it. You are already at the next site. Months later their friend plans a bathroom and asks around for a contractor. A review and a reminder would put your name in that conversation.
At handover, every homeowner gets your thank-you note with a link to leave a Google review. A few months later, past clients get a separate short note asking if anyone they know is planning a renovation. Get more 5-star reviews and Ready-made campaigns do this.

Every Simplet is its own small product with its own price. Take one, try it for a month, add another when you're ready.
How it works
Three steps. No software to learn.
You don't log in to a new system or train your staff. Chip runs everything on our side. You approve from your phone, or let him run.
Pick your Simplets
Choose one Simplet or several. Each has its own price, and there are no bundles to decode.
We set it up
A short setup form, about 20 minutes, connects your calendar, forms and phone number and learns how you write. We test it on your own enquiries before it goes live.
You approve, or it just runs
Anything written in your name waits for your OK in one simple list, unless you have told Chip to send it on his own. Urgent things reach your phone right away.
Questions
Straight answers.
Can I start with just bids and follow-ups?
Yes. Each Simplet has its own price. Pick the one that costs you the most evenings and try it for a month. Add review links and referral notes after your next few handovers.
I already use estimating software. Does this replace it?
No. Your estimating, scheduling and invoicing stay where they are. We connect to your software when that software allows it. Chip handles the messages around the job: replies, bids, follow-ups, review links and referral notes.
Will a drafted bid read like a template?
Bids start from your site notes and your past bids, so the scope and wording sound like you. Follow-ups and other routine notes can go out on their own, or you can check them first. Your pick.
Can follow-ups and referral notes go by text?
Yes. Each one carries your business name, contact details and a way to unsubscribe. They go to people who asked for a bid, hired you or agreed to hear from you. We set it up to fit Canada's anti-spam law (CASL).
Who is Chip?
Chip is the SimpleUP robot. He stands for the AI tools that do the routine work in your Simplets, like replying to new enquiries and sending reminders. Behind him is our Canadian team, who set everything up and look after it.
