Quick material takeoffs for the jobs residential contractors quote every week. Every calculator shows its formula, lists the materials and lets you add your own prices.
Short answer
Yes. This page has a free deck calculator and a free fence calculator, with no sign-up. The deck calculator lists boards, joists, beams, posts, footings and fasteners. The fence calculator lists posts, rails, pickets, concrete bags and gate hardware. Siding, flooring, tile and roofing are here too, and each calculator shows its formula. These are quantity tools for planning a quote, not a priced estimate.

Open the calculator →A calculator answers one question: how much material does this job need. A quote needs more: current prices for your area, labor, markup, options for the homeowner and a way to get it signed. That is what Bolster estimating does. AutoCost prices each item with live regional costs, takeoff measures from plans or photos, and the estimate becomes an interactive proposal with a deposit at signing.
