KADEPAY FOR REMODELERS

Remodeling contractor payments, from the deposit to the final draw.

A kitchen remodel can run eight weeks with a deposit, three draws and a surprise pantry upgrade. KadePay keeps every stage as its own bill with photos, collects large draws by ACH bank transfer, gets change requests signed on the homeowner's phone, and shows the whole job on one customer record.

Pay-As-You-Go starts at $0 per month. Usage and payment fees apply.

Sound familiar?

Long jobs, big draws, and a lot riding on each one

Remodeling cash flow depends on getting each draw paid on time while subs, cabinets and tile are already committed. These are the payment problems renovation contractors raise most, and where KadePay helps.

01

Cabinet orders that need money weeks before install

Custom cabinets have a six-week lead time and the supplier wants half down, so the kitchen remodel deposit has to clear before demo day.

With KadePay

Send the kitchen remodel deposit as a bill with the signed scope attached, payable by ACH bank transfer or card. Place the cabinet order once it shows paid.

Ways to get paid
02

Draws that slip one week, then three

Rough-in passed on Tuesday, the draw was due on Wednesday, and by the next Friday the homeowner still has not gotten around to it.

With KadePay

Write your remodeling payment schedule into the agreement the homeowner signs, then send each draw as its own bill with photos of the finished stage and reminders turned on.

Forms and signatures
03

Extras agreed in the hallway and forgotten at billing

The homeowner asked for a niche in the shower and two more outlets, you said yes, and the extra $1,800 never made it onto paper.

With KadePay

Get each change order signed on the homeowner's phone with a short form listing the work and price, then bill it separately so the contract total and the extras stay distinct.

Forms and signatures
04

Card fees on a $20,000 draw

The homeowner wants to put a big progress draw on a rewards card, and the processing cost comes straight out of your margin.

With KadePay

Steer large draws to ACH bank transfer, which costs less per payment, and where permitted pass eligible credit-card fees to homeowners who still choose a card.

Plans and fees
05

Homeowners who love the design but stall on the price

The bathroom plan is approved, the tile is picked, and the couple hesitates because the total is more than they have saved.

With KadePay

Offer agreed installments through a payment plan collected from a saved method, or let the homeowner apply for Affirm at checkout where eligible. Affirm handles approval and terms.

Payment plans

How it fits your week

How a remodel gets paid, stage by stage

  1. Design consult

    Homeowners request a consultation from your booking link, and you confirm a time to see the space. Inspiration photos go into a shared Gallery folder.

  2. Contract and deposit

    The homeowner signs your agreement and payment schedule on their phone. The deposit bill goes out with the scope PDF attached.

  3. Draws by stage

    After demo, rough-in and cabinets, send each draw as its own bill with photos. Large amounts go by ACH bank transfer to keep costs down.

  4. Changes signed first

    Every change gets a signed form and its own bill, so the contract total stays clean and nothing is argued at the end.

  5. Punch list and final

    Walk the punch list, collect the final draw by ACH, card or Tap to Pay on a compatible phone, and share the finished photos read-only.

KadePay for remodelers

Best app for remodeling contractors: getting paid at every stage

Remodeling contractor payments are fewer and larger than most trades, and each one is tied to a stage of work. A kitchen or bath job may carry a deposit, two or three draws and a final, plus changes along the way. The tool you bill with should keep those pieces apart, show the homeowner proof for each one and make a large payment easy.

KadePay does that with ordinary bills. A bathroom remodel invoice for the tile stage carries photos of the waterproofing and the finished shower, goes out by text or email with reminders, and can be paid by card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or ACH bank transfer. Bank transfer makes the most sense on draws above a few thousand dollars.

Changes are where profit leaks. A signed form for each addition, billed on its own, keeps the original contract clean and gives you a record if a question comes up at the final walkthrough. Shared Gallery folders give the homeowner a place to see progress without a dozen texts.

KadePay is not a project management or job costing system, and it does not build estimates or schedules. It handles the payment side of a remodel: deposits, progress payments, change bills, financing options and the homeowner record that ties them together.
