How it works

Your client tells Decked everything. You walk in already knowing.

The consultation runs before anyone speaks, or right in the room with you. Either way, by the time the meeting ends, the discovery is fully done, the visualization is approved, and you both know exactly what you're building. No unexpected changes. No back and forth. Things are a closing conversation now.

Block 01: Contact

Name and number. That's already a lead.

The moment a homeowner answers the first two questions you have a callable lead, regardless of where they go from there. Renter status flags landlord approval in your package automatically.

Every incomplete lead delivers a separate notification with name, number, and exactly where they stopped
Someone who stopped after budget tells you something different than someone who stopped after scope

Pause point 1
"That's everything your contractor needs to reach you. Stop here and they'll follow up directly. Or keep going and we'll show you what your space could look like."
Block 02: Scope

What are they actually doing? Comes before measurements on purpose.

Scope determines what measurements are even necessary. The chatbot has memory. It knows the room and scope by the time it gets to materials so it never asks redundant questions.

"Your contractor knows what you're thinking. Keep going and we'll add budget, style, and room details."
Block 03: Timeline

When, and what the job looks like to get there.

Two to three questions. Start date, hard deadline or flexible, any scheduling constraints. Tight timelines on large scopes get flagged in your package automatically so you know before quoting whether the timeline is realistic.

If you have enabled scheduling in your account setup, homeowners can pick a date and time directly from your availability. That appointment goes straight to your calendar, whatever you use.

Timeline block
1

When are you hoping to start?

Hard deadline or flexible. Tight timelines for large scopes get flagged.

2

Is there a hard completion date?

Events, moves, lease endings. Anything that makes the timeline non-negotiable.

3

Any scheduling constraints we should know?

Work from home, kids, pets, building access hours, parking.

4

Schedule a visit

If your contractor has enabled it, pick a date and time that works. It goes directly to their calendar.

Block 04: Household context

The house itself. Easy questions that tell a contractor a lot.

Most of these take a single tap. Year the home was built, property type, ownership status, whether it has been renovated before, and anything structurally relevant the homeowner knows about. Contractors use this to anticipate what they are walking into before they ever arrive.

We also ask if the homeowner has any existing floor plans or blueprints they can share. If they do, it anchors the rough layout from the start. Totally skippable, but the more they share, the more accurate the package.

Block 05: Budget

Budget before style. So the visualization never shows something they cannot afford.

Four tiers constrain what gets generated. Any flag is scope-specific because the chatbot already knows what they are building. You walk in knowing whether the money is there before you quote.

Under $15K: laminate, stock cabinets, standard fixtures
$15K to $40K: mid-range quartz, semi-custom cabinets
$40K to $80K: stone counters, custom cabinets, premium fixtures
$80K and above: full custom, no material constraints

"Your contractor has everything they need for a productive first call. Keep going and we'll add your style so what we show you matches your actual space."
Blocks 06 and 07: Measurements and Style

This is where the visualization unlocks. Style and inspiration photos are what makes it possible.

We can't show you your space until you show us the style you want. Block 06 and 07 are what unlock the visualization. Style questions show actual photos, not words. When we suggest white shaker cabinets, the homeowner sees a photo of white shaker cabinets and can scroll through alternatives right inside the chat. Clients can also upload their own inspiration , Pinterest boards, magazine cuts, screenshots of rooms they love. That's what we design from.

Measurements are skippable. We suggest giving us something since it makes the render and rough blueprint more accurate, and we show what standard sizes look like so there's a reference. But if they skip, the visualization still runs from their style and inspiration inputs. The more they give us, the more accurate the output.

Block 08: Room photos

This is how we survey the space and verify what the client told us.

Homeowners self-report their measurements. That works as a starting point, but it is not a survey. Room photos are how Decked closes that gap. Our CV system reads the photos to independently verify the dimensions they entered, and flags anything that does not match before you ever arrive.

Beyond measurements, it picks up what homeowners forget to mention: door swings, window placement, ceiling height, visible pipe or duct locations, anything structural that changes the job. We guide them on how to shoot it, where to stand, what to capture. The more angles, the more confident the verification.

Skippable. Without photos the survey layer falls back to the due diligence layer alone. But photos are the only way to verify client-reported measurements against the actual space. Your package always notes whether photos were provided and what was confirmed.

Photo block
Last step: photos of the space. This is how we verify your measurements and survey the room for your contractor.
Stand with your back to the far wall, phone at shoulder height, full width of the room in frame. More angles means a more complete survey.
Add photos
Skip for now
Photos are run through our CV system to verify the measurements you entered and flag anything that does not match. The more angles, the more we can confirm.

They approve a visualization. You walk in with something concrete.

Three views of their space with their chosen style, materials, and inputs applied. We do our best to make it accurate to their actual room , measurements, dimensions, the whole thing. The more they gave us, the more accurate it is. They make one change, hit send, and it's done.

Contractor extras

Everything below runs in the background after the homeowner submits. None of it is visible to them. It all shows up in your brief.

Due diligence layer

Public records, MLS data, and satellite imagery. Everything available used to verify what the client told us.

After the homeowner submits, Decked pulls whatever is available for the property , MLS records, public property data, recorded floor plans, square footage, lot boundaries, and satellite imagery. Not every source is available for every property, but we use everything we can find.

The goal is to get the AI renders and rough blueprints as accurate as possible to real-world constraints. If a homeowner entered dimensions that do not match recorded data, that discrepancy gets flagged in your package. If there is a recorded floor plan, it anchors the rough blueprint. None of this is visible to the homeowner , it runs in the background and surfaces in your brief.

Due diligence layer

Public records and MLS data

Property characteristics, square footage, lot size, year built, bed and bath count. Cross-referenced against what the homeowner entered.

Recorded floor plans

Where available, existing blueprints anchor the rough floor plan and give measurements a second source to check against.

Satellite imagery

Property boundaries and roof geometry used to validate layout claims and flag anything that does not line up before you arrive.

Discrepancy flagging

Anything that conflicts with recorded data surfaces in your contractor package with a note on what to verify on site. Not everything will be available , but we use every source we have.

Rough estimate

A range built from your numbers, not generic data.

The rough estimate pulls from everything: the homeowner's scope, measurements, material selections, household context, and current sourcing data , but also your inputs as the contractor. Your past jobs, how you price labor, your markups, your way of quoting. We confirm the sourcing data with you and let you add any other inputs you want factored in.

The result is a range that actually reflects how you work, not a generic market average. Contractors control whether the homeowner sees it. Keep it private and use it to anchor the first meeting, or turn it on so the client isn't surprised when the real quote lands.

Not just what they want. How confident they are in every decision.

Every decision falls into one of three states. You walk in knowing which conversations to have and which ones are already done before you open your mouth.

Chosen independently, low priority to revisit. They came to it themselves, so unless they bring it up, move on.
Suggested and accepted, worth a quick confirm before ordering materials. They liked the idea but didn't bring it themselves.
Suggested and modified, one confirm in the meeting. They changed it from what we suggested, so make sure the change is what they actually want.
