The BrightSide Difference

BrightSide Estimating Services was started by a siding specialist to help contractors and builders stay competitive without hiring a full-time in-house estimator.

With over a decade in estimating and takeoff experience, we understand:

  • how GCs review bids

  • what subs actually need to see

  • how to present material and labor quantities in a way that makes sense to the office and the field

What Makes BrightSide Different

  1. Real construction experience – not generic, AI, or “best guess” takeoffs

  2. Trade-specific – we specialize in siding/exterior estimating

  3. Clear deliverables – organized, user-friendly, full service estimates

  4. Transparency & Flexibility – clear, scaled, flat-rate fees with ability to add extra services, rush turnarounds, or subscribe for multi-estimate packages with huge discounts, depending on business needs
