Blast Bid: Sandblasting

BlastBid is job estimating and management built for sandblasting businesses. Not contractors in general — sandblasters specifically. You know how long it takes to quote a deck job by hand. Measure the surface, figure the media, calculate labor, add markup, type it all up, then hope you didn't forget the travel fee. BlastBid does that math in seconds. HOW IT WORKS Pick the job type. Enter the surface area. BlastBid calculates your media consumption, labor hours, and total cost based on the coating condition and surface complexity. Adjust your markup, hit send, and your customer gets a professional PDF estimate with your logo on it. When they say yes, the estimate becomes a job. Schedule it, assign a crew member, and it shows up on your Today feed with the weather forecast for the job site. Because nobody wants to blast in 90% humidity and deal with flash rust. BUILT FOR THE JOB SITE This app works without cell service. Quote a job in a dead zone. Add notes from a basement. Take before and after photos in a warehouse with no signal. Everything syncs when you're back online — no data lost, no spinners, no "connection error" screens. Big tap targets. Readable in direct sunlight. Operable with gloves on. Because you're not sitting at a desk. ESTIMATE TO PAYMENT IN ONE THREAD Every job flows through one screen: Estimate, Job, Invoice.
