Length alone leaves questions
A total of linear feet does not describe corners, outlets, fascia condition or access above a porch. Write down which elevations the quote covers and what needs inspection before fabrication.
Software for gutter installers
Follow the gutter run from measure to invoice.
A front elevation, a garage return and a downspout extension each add something different to an installation. Put the measured scope, agreed materials and crew visit beside the client's estimate so the office can explain the finished bill.

The everyday details
You know the work.
The admin adds up.
A color change can reach the truck late
The homeowner's choice of finish affects what the crew brings. Scattered messages make it difficult to distinguish the accepted material from an earlier option or to explain a later change.
Small fittings disappear from the bill
Elbows, hangers, splash blocks and removal work are easy to overlook when an invoice starts from memory. Separate materials from installation and disposal so the scope remains understandable.
How Microtra helps
Keep the business connected.
Use the tools that fit your day, with your records ready on your phone or on the web.
Describe the measured elevations
Use an estimate with saved items, quantities and notes for gutter runs, corners, outlets and downspouts. Enter measurements yourself and identify the accepted finish before arranging production.
Explore this featureGive the crew a useful work record
Keep job tasks, photos and notes together for removal, fascia concerns and cleanup. A photograph can supply context while your measurement sheet remains the technical reference.
Explore this featureReturn to the right property
Store the client's contact details and linked property record. Distinguish the house from a detached garage, and keep estimates and invoices available when the owner asks about earlier work.
Explore this featureAccount for time above the ladder
Enter crew time against the job and record material purchases or equipment rental as expenses. Compare those costs with the estimate before preparing the final document.
Explore this featureShow what was installed
Review the agreed lengths and fittings, adjust approved changes, and share an invoice PDF from your device. Record the payment received through your usual collection method against its balance.
Explore this featureA day in the life
From the first quote to paid.
Walk each elevation
Check access, note the existing outlet locations and record the measured runs. Keep uncertain fascia repairs outside the accepted scope until they have been assessed and discussed.
Confirm the material list
Review color, profile, downspout positions and disposal with the homeowner. Update the estimate when a change is agreed rather than relying on an informal conversation at the truck.
Arrange installation
Assign staff and appointments to the job, allowing time for setup and cleanup. Review the day's schedule yourself when weather or access makes the original arrangement impractical.
Reconcile fittings and labor
Compare what the crew used with the accepted estimate. Add the recorded expenses, check the final invoice and retain job notes for a later question about the installation.

Questions from gutter installers.
Will Microtra calculate gutter lengths from a roof plan?
Microtra does not measure roof plans or design drainage. Complete the takeoff with your measuring tools, then enter the quantities and installation scope on the estimate.
How should I list corners and downspouts?
Give each type of fitting a clear saved item and use a suitable quantity unit. Separate linear footage from outlet counts and removal labor so the client can follow the quote.
Which app setup fits an installation crew?
Trades & construction provides Job, Client and Properties. Stock starts off; enable it in Modules & terms before using material counts and purchasing for gutter coils or fittings.
Can I arrange another visit for a fascia repair?
Add an appointment to the job and assign the staff needed. Confirm the revised scope and visit directly with the client; Microtra does not assess the repair or decide whether it is safe to proceed.
