Get startedKevin, the owner of Prestige Home Renovations in Colorado, spent over 25 years operating out of highly customized Excel spreadsheets to manage project estimates and client communications. As his business grew, so did the challenges of staying efficient, avoiding human error, and delivering polished, professional experiences to clients. Managing a team of six plus an office manager, Kevin found himself stuck in late-night estimate sessions, often giving away items accidentally due to fatigue and system limitations. He realized it was time to find a solution that could match his operations and support sustainable growth.
“I literally would give away a kitchen sink at midnight, dozing at the computer. Bolster changed that.”
After decades of building around a manual system, Kevin discovered Bolster, a platform that didn’t just promise efficiency but was also built with the contractor’s mindset at its core.
After testing a few other platforms that felt generic and disconnected from the realities of custom remodeling, Kevin was introduced to Bolster. What set it apart was how naturally it matched his thought process. Built by builders for builders, Bolster mirrored the logic and visual structure that Kevin had spent decades trying to replicate in Excel. It wasn’t just functional, it felt intuitive. Kevin also appreciated that Bolster welcomed feedback and consistently implemented user suggestions, reinforcing the sense that this was a tool designed for and with contractors.
“This is my brain. This is how I think. And finally, the software matches it.”
In the custom renovation world, no two projects are alike. Kevin needed tools that were flexible enough to accommodate hall baths, master bathrooms, and basements with different specifications every time. Bolster’s template system allowed him to build assemblies that he could tweak and reuse, dramatically reducing estimate preparation time. More importantly, the interactive digital estimates allowed clients to select their own options, upgrades, downgrades, or custom features and instantly see pricing updates. It transformed the client experience while keeping the detailed structure that Kevin’s team needed to deliver projects with precision.
“We’ve saved a ton of time. And more importantly, we’ve avoided costly errors.”
Adopting a new system can be daunting, but Bolster’s support team made the transition seamless. Ryan, in particular, became an invaluable part of Kevin’s journey. Whether through Zoom calls, same-day email responses, or personalized screen recordings, Ryan offered consistent, high-quality support that helped Kevin navigate the platform with confidence. Beyond Ryan, the broader support team was equally engaged, professional, and responsive, ensuring Kevin always had help when he needed it.
“Ryan sends me custom videos walking through my project, step-by-step. That’s not just support. That’s dedication.”
Kevin’s long-term vision includes full integration between Bolster and QuickBooks to centralize his financial operations and reduce duplication across platforms. With the help of his IT consultant, this integration is underway and expected to significantly streamline bookkeeping, invoicing, and payment tracking. As Bolster continues to develop project management tools like scheduling, material lists, and budget tracking. Kevin plans to equip his field team with devices to access real-time updates and improve internal communication.
“This is our year of efficiency. Bolster is helping us eliminate repetitive processes and focus on what matters.”
