Homeowner was quoted for limited chimney and gutter work but was upsold to a full roof replacement under pressure, received combined invoices that were unclear, and ended up with a much higher total cost than expected, revealing a need for better quote transparency and change management in residential contracting.

Workarounds Described

• Asked for old invoices to compare but didn't do so in the rush
• Verbally negotiated price reduction without documentation

Implied Software Gaps

• Mobile app that consolidates all quotes and change orders into a single consumer-friendly approval view with running total
• Digital change order system requiring homeowner e-signature before contractor begins additional work

ClearScope Change Order App

ClearScope is a mobile app for contractors that generates transparent, line-item proposals and digital change orders. Homeowners approve each change with e-signature before work begins, and the app maintains a single running total that updates in real time. This prevents scope creep confusion and financial surprises.
