AI Automation for Deck Builders
in Fort Collins

Do the work. Kill the admin.

Composite vs cedar, footings, stairs, and customers who add a pergola in week two. We build the custom AI system that handles all of it — for deck builders in Fort Collins and across Colorado.

“Built originally for my dad's family sauna business. Now custom-built for deck builders across Colorado.”

What deck builders
in Fort Collins tell us.

These are the admin pains that keep deck builders stuck at the kitchen table. Not generic “save time” marketing — the real stuff from real deck builders.

01

Customer wants composite — you quoted at PT prices

The first conversation was about pressure-treated. The second email switched to Trex Transcend. That's triple the material cost — and the email confirming the change is buried somewhere in Gmail.

02

Verbal change orders that never become written

The customer asked for a pergola, a hot tub deck, and built-in benches in passing during the build. You agreed to all three. None of it got written up. That's $5,840 of free work across last quarter alone.

03

Permit drawings take a week and customers blame you

Engineered drawings are a 5-day minimum. The customer thinks you're stalling because nobody is sending them weekly status updates from the email thread you have with the engineer.

What if you could just ask?

Ryt Assistant · Deck Builders · Fort Collins
YOUWhat did the Wilsons ask about the composite deck?
Dave Wilson emailed Monday asking for a side-by-side of PT vs Trex Transcend for a 14×18 deck with stairs, plus the warranty difference and lifespan estimate. Drafted a comparison ($9,200 PT vs $14,800 composite) with both warranties and a 25-year vs 10-year lifespan note.
YOUWhich deck jobs from last quarter had unwritten change orders?
4 of 9 deck jobs had verbal change orders never put in writing. Combined value of 'freebies': $5,840. Pattern: pergola add-ons (3 jobs) and built-in benches (1 job) — all after contract signed. Recommend a 'post-contract changes are billable' line on every quote going forward.

Generic SaaS AI handles one slice — a quote helper here, a chatbot there. RYT's assistant has read every receipt, every email, every job — and remembers your business like a real person would.

The Real Cost

Still using
Jobber?

Here's what deck builders keep running into — and what they're missing.

01

Jobber has no email AI and doesn't catch verbal change orders from customer email threads.

02

Buildertrend is overkill for a 2-person deck shop and doesn't read your inbox.

03

Most deck builders end up on Excel and eat the free pergolas every season.
