About

Homepage of InstaBid

InstaBid is an AI estimating platform for residential contractors that turns a job walkthrough, phone call, or web form into a real itemized bid in minutes. Every line item is editable and connected to your own suppliers and price book. The software uses your prices and markup, generates a PDF that reads like a contractor wrote it, and includes a contract and deposit link. Three ways to input jobs: a web form on your site, a branded phone line (411) where homeowners describe work and get an instant bid, or a video walk (LIVE) where an AI estimator watches and prices in real time. The platform handles 11 trades including roofing, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, drywall, painting, flooring, siding, cabinets, countertops, and full remodels. Founded by John Dudley, a 30-year general contractor, it requires no change to your pricing or suppliers.
