One page the customer reads
Picture on the front, scope in plain words, what is not included, the schedule of payments, and a signature line that works on a phone.
Proposals and change orders
Send a price they can picture; keep every change signed
A proposal PDF with the design on the front page and a signature that works on a phone, followed by change orders that are priced before the work moves.
Proposals and change orders
Send a price the customer can picture, then keep every change priced and signed
The proposal PDF carries the photo-real picture of the design, the written scope, exclusions, payment schedule and terms. The customer signs on their phone. Every change after that is its own priced, signed record tracked against the original.
Priced before the work moves
Describe the change, price it, send it, get the signature, and watch the contract total and the balance update on the Money page.
Nothing argued from memory
Every sent, approved or billed change order sits in the job folder and the customer's portal with its date and signature.
Why it matters
The change order is where remodel margins go to die
A verbal "sure, we can do that" becomes a free week of work. A signed change order with a price becomes revenue.
Hidden conditions
Rot behind the siding, a slab that is not where the drawing said. Price it, send it, keep going.
Customer requests
Bigger deck, extra window, different railing. The picture updates and so does the number.
Proof at the end
The final invoice lists the original contract plus every signed change, so the last conversation is short.
What Ardaro does — and what it does not
What it does
It produces customer-ready proposals with the design picture, collects electronic signatures, and prices, sends and tracks change orders against the original contract.
What it does not do
It is not a contract template reviewed by a lawyer, legal advice, or a lien or notice service. Your written agreement and state rules govern.

Watch actual Ardaro backend footage, choose a paid plan, or call Brent Scott directly if you want a human answer about how this fits your crew. Standard plans are billed monthly with no free trial; workspace access starts after payment is confirmed.
