About BrightSide

With over a decade in the exterior construction industry, BrightSide Estimating Services was founded to bring precision, professionalism, and peace of mind to contractors. Starting on the installation side and later leading estimating departments for multiple companies, I’ve developed a proven track record of success in high-growth markets across the Carolinas and the Midwest.

BrightSide's mission is simple: to transform the estimating process into a strategic advantage for your business. My company goes beyond basic spreadsheets—delivering accurate, streamlined, and visually polished estimates that help you win more jobs and maximize profitability. Every detail is handled with care so you can focus on building, not bidding.

I created BrightSide with the belief that estimating should be stress-free, profitable, and client-focused. A partnership with BrightSide means you’re not just getting numbers—you’re gaining confidence, clarity, and a competitive edge.
