A public page of your build and renovation packages, in your logo and your photography, that you link from your own site. A visitor browses, picks their finishes, and sends you a configured project with a name, an address and every choice already recorded.
You publish the packages you already sell — the same templates your estimates are built from — and paste one link on your website. A visitor browses them for free. When they want prices, they give a name and an email; from there they pick finishes, decking and water features and watch an approximate total move as they go.
When they send it, PoolPath creates a customer, a site and a project, drafts the estimate from their selections, and tells your team. You walk the property, set the real numbers, and release it for signature. Nothing they touched was a contract.
A contact form gives you a name and a sentence. This gives you a name, an address, the package they want, the finishes they chose, and a number they have already made peace with — which means the first phone call is a scheduling call rather than a discovery call.
It also stops the retyping. A form email has to be read, understood and keyed into your system by somebody. A portal submission is already the project: no transcription, no lost detail, no "I thought you said pebble".
Angi, Thumbtack and Houzz sell you the lead — $15 to $100 a piece for remodeling work, sold to three or four of your competitors at the same time. That is a reasonable trade when somebody else generated the demand.
This is the opposite arrangement. The traffic is yours: your website, your ads, your truck signage, your referrals. We are not selling you a stranger, we are converting the ones you already earned — so it is a flat monthly fee, no commission on the job, no per-lead charge, and nothing shared with anyone else.
They can never sign. The signature is withheld on the server, not merely hidden in the interface, until someone at your shop releases the estimate — so a stranger cannot approve a $90,000 build from their phone at midnight.
They can never see a price without identifying themselves, and they can never see one you did not publish: each package is set to show an exact price, a "starts at" figure, or nothing at all. Switch the portal off and the page is gone immediately — a switched-off portal is indistinguishable from a link that never existed.
$149 a month, added to your PoolPath plan — unlimited packages, unlimited visitors, no per-lead fee and no percentage of the job.
The arithmetic is worth doing plainly: renovations and builds sold through a portal like this average around $38,000. At a 20% gross margin, one job it converts returns roughly $7,600 — so a full year of the add-on costs about a quarter of a single job, and breakeven is one job every six years. It is included free for the length of your trial, so you can watch it convert before you pay for it.
