Headr

Fence and deck contractor software, from property lines to stain.

Fences and decks carry paperwork most people don’t expect: HOA approval, a permit, an 811 locate, a post-hole inspection and, for decks, a framing inspection. Headr keeps them in order and only shows the deck steps on decks.

From $29 a month. Standard is $129 for up to 25 people with a login.

How a fence and deck job runs in Headr

These are the steps Headr sets up when you pick fence and deck at sign-up. Steps marked have to be finished before the job moves on. Steps that only apply sometimes show up when you answer a yes or no question.

Want it shorter? The simple version is 7 steps: Measure and estimate, Signed + deposit, Permit approved, 811 utility locate cleared, Install booked, Built, Final payment. Rename, reorder or add steps any time.

Questions from fence and deck contractors

Can Headr track HOA approvals?

Yes. HOA approved is a step that has to be finished before the job moves on.

Can I wait for concrete to cure before framing?

Yes. A wait step holds the job for the days you set.

Can I build fences and decks in the same process?

Yes. One question decides which steps show up.
