I really like the versatility of Bolster and how professional the proposals appear to my customers. The software has a lot of options that I can customize when sending proposals, enabling prospects to select their options and immediately see how much changes would cost. It has sped up my estimating process significantly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Bolster still has a ton of bugs that sometimes are frustrating when I need to create an assembly. Also, the initial setup wasn't too easy, although I had an onboard associate helping me with that process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Bolster has really help me speed up my estimating. I was previously spending 2 hours on average to produce estimates and now I can produce way better estimates in 20 min that are super accurate thanks to the Auto Cost/Home Depot feature and prebuilt assemblies.

The customer support is amazing. I purchased the package with extra support and build out time and I think that was a game changer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It took me about 2 weeks before I was comfortable with the software. Initially my estimating time didn't go down until I figured out how to use it properly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like the idea of interactive proposals. Once I set up my account I noticed a big difference in my closing rate. The home owners I have dealt with since signing up for Bolster have been very impressed. I've started setting up the project management automations and I'm very happy with how much time it is saving.

It took me a little while to get full use of the product capabilities. There was a bit of a learning curve. I started with getting my estimates dailed in and now I'm gaining an understanding of the rest of the softwares project management and invoicing capabilities..

I like Bolster for its speed and quick turnaround time when estimating. The templates save me from starting from scratch each time, which is a huge time saver. I appreciate the flexibility it offers, especially since I can work on estimates remotely. I think the customization features are really helpful for my work in residential construction, where every job is unique. It's great to be able to set up a template and modify it as needed.

There tends to be quite a few technical glitches that sometimes interrupt workflow. Also, the aesthetics of the estimate could be improved. Sometimes, numbers are a little confusing to our clients. There was a bit of a learning curve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has made our quoting process a lot faster - with use of templates. The team is very helpful when we need them, very responsive even on weekends. They have built out our templates so that we can quote bathrooms or kitchens within 20-30 minutes - all we need is dimensions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Quite hard to learn how to use initially without guidance from the team. We had log in issues but they all got sorted out within a couple of days. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Bolster for my contracting business and find it to be an excellent tool for estimating and financial work. Bolster's interactive quotes save time and money, reducing my past frustrations. The product is designed with simplicity and looks really nice, showing that a lot of thought went into its development. I appreciate the way Bolster organizes my workflow, allowing me to keep track of lead flow and use automation tools effectively for client follow-ups.

Bolster has improved my workflow allowing me more time to be on-site with my guys or spending time with family instead of sitting at a desk doing admin, all the automated features have really saved me a lot of headaches! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like how long it took for us to get Bolster up and running, but thankfully, Bolster have a strong support structure which helped me get the ball rolling. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Bolster is the best tool I've found for contractors, period. The customer support team is incredible — patient, responsive, and they make a powerful, complex platform feel simple. The built-in client selection feature, which essentially lets homeowners make their own interior design choices, is a game-changer. I can't imagine running jobs without it.

My main wish-list items are around customization. The estimate templates feel rigid — I'd like the ability to pick from different client-facing layouts when sending a proposal, and to tailor the messaging per client since that's such an important piece of the sales process. Contract customization can also be tricky to work with at times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
