FlipperForce Field is now available!

How it Works

The Repair Estimator is FlipperForce's powerful renovation cost estimating tool. It gives you a structured, line-item framework for building accurate repair budgets — organized by trade category — so you know exactly what a property will cost to renovate before you ever close on it.

What it does

The Repair Estimator lets you build detailed rehab budgets organized by trade (demo, framing, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, flooring, kitchen, baths, etc.). Add line items with quantities, units, and costs per unit. Save estimates as templates for future deals. Export as an Estimate Report, SOW Report, or Material List. Share with contractors to communicate scope and manage bidding.

How to use it

Open the Repair Estimator from any project or analysis. Work through each trade category, adding line items for every scope of work needed. Use the Material Catalog to pull in your standard pricing. Apply a contingency buffer, then review your total estimated rehab cost. Export reports and templates to streamline future estimates.

Why it matters

Underestimating repair costs is the fastest way to destroy profit on a house flip. The Repair Estimator turns the estimating process from a guess into a discipline — giving you a documented, repeatable framework that gets more accurate with every project you complete.
