For drywall contractors

Square footage sets the price. Finish level sets the tiers.

A drywall bid is board area times your hang-and-finish rate — measure the wall and ceiling square footage, price it at your number, and the quote totals itself. Where the money moves is the finish level: a taped-and-textured Level 4 for most rooms, a full Level 5 skim where the light rakes across the wall. BidTorch puts those levels side by side on one branded link the customer signs, deposit and all, from their phone.

Built for how drywall contractors sell

The parts that matter for your trade.

Board area in, price out — AREA mode

Measure the wall and ceiling square footage and each surface carries its own hang-and-finish sell-per-sqft — walls at your wall rate, ceilings at their own — so the room totals as area × rate with your margin in view and one clean number for the customer. Flip the sqft breakdown on or off the customer's copy per job.

Level 4 vs Level 5, side by side

Finish level is a real spec, not a vibe — so quote it as the choice. A textured Level 4 for the everyday room, a smooth Level 4 where walls catch daylight, or a full Level 5 skim for critical-light and gloss areas. Three columns on one branded link, and buyers routinely reach past the base.

Corner bead per foot, patch work per each

Your catalog bills in drywall's own units — hang-tape-finish by the sqft, corner bead and bullnose by the linear foot, patch and repair calls by the each — every row with real cost and markup. Save the standard basement or garage scope as an assembly and drop it whole into a quote in one tap.

AI writes the first draft — and the third-day nudge

It drafts the quote off your catalog and past jobs, then leaves the send button to you. When one goes cold past three days it composes a personal email and text off that quote's own facts — which finish level, how many days out, opened or not — for you to approve. The dashboard sorts the quiet ones biggest-ticket-first; the reports page tracks what the follow-ups win back.

See it on a real job

A worked example: basement finish, board to final coat

A homeowner has an 850 sqft basement framed and ready for board — hung and finished, paint-ready. You measure the surfaces — 1,600 sqft of wall, 850 sqft of ceiling, and 180 linear feet of outside corners for bead — and send one quote whose three options differ only in how smooth you take the finish:

Good

Hang, tape and Level 4 finish with a knockdown texture on walls and ceiling — the everyday production finish, and the texture hides minor imperfections so it's the fastest to close out. The 1,600 wall-sqft and 850 ceiling-sqft lines at your textured-Level-4 hang-and-finish rate, priced automatically from the area, plus 180 lf of corner bead.

Better

Smooth Level 4 walls, knockdown ceiling — no texture on the walls, so more finishing passes and the flat wall the customer notices in daylight. The same wall and ceiling area lines at your smooth-Level-4 rate, corner bead per foot included.

Best

Full Level 5 skim coat on walls and ceilings — a thin skim over the entire surface, glass-smooth under can lights and big basement windows. The area surfaces at your Level 5 sell-per-sqft, corner bead per foot, each line carrying your real cost and markup, margin visible to you.

One link, three finish levels, one measurement behind all of them — the customer compares them on their phone, signs the one they want, and the deposit auto-credits against the first invoice. Go quiet for three days and the AI drafts the follow-up from that quote's own facts — which level, how many days out — for you to approve and send.

Flat pricing. The AI is included.

Solo $89/mo (2 seats) · Team $149/mo (5 seats) · Crew $249/mo (10 seats). No per-seat fees, ever — and AI quote drafting plus AI follow-ups ship on every plan, not as add-ons. Why we price flat →

Questions

Asked by drywall contractors.

Does BidTorch quote drywall by the square foot?

Yes — in AREA mode, natively. Wall and ceiling lines carry their square footage and your hang-and-finish sell-per-sqft, so the board area prices itself as area × your rate. You decide per job whether the customer's copy shows the sqft math or just the number.

How do I put Level 4 and Level 5 on the same quote?

As side-by-side options on one branded link — say a textured Level 4, a smooth Level 4, and a full Level 5 skim — so the customer sees what each finish level actually buys and picks one. They sign and pay the deposit in the same sitting, no re-quote.

Can I bill corner bead and patch work in their own units?

Yes. Each catalog row keeps its own unit — hang-tape-finish per sqft, corner bead per linear foot, patch and repair per each — with your real cost and markup, so a mixed scope prices itself instead of getting eyeballed. Save your go-to basement or garage build as an assembly and reuse it in one tap.
