What are finish selections?
The materials and fixtures that shape how a remodel looks and feels: flooring, countertops, tile, faucets, lighting, paint and cabinet hardware. FinishWise keeps those decisions organized with your contractor.
How is FinishWise different from Buildertrend or CoConstruct?
Those run the whole project; picking finishes is one feature among dozens. FinishWise only does finishes, so it's simpler to start and easier for homeowners to actually use.
How do I join as a homeowner?
You have two paths. Start your own project as a DIY owner with a 14-day no-card Starter trial for one active project, then subscribe at $29/month or $290/year, billed upfront. Or use your contractor's invitation with the email address assigned to you to join their project for free. Invited clients do not need a paid subscription. Already joined? Sign in.
Can homeowners suggest their own products?
Yes. Share products with links and photos, then work with your professional to review fit, price and availability together. On an invited project, your contractor must enable client suggestions before you can send new finds; your choices and their review remain explicit. DIY owners add their own options and finalize their own decisions.
Does it track the budget?
Yes. Subscribers, including DIY owners, can track finish budgets against their choices as decisions get made. Invited clients see only the pricing and allowances their contractor chooses to share—not hidden allowances or private costs. It is a tracking aid, not a guarantee of final cost or schedule.
What is the finish binder?
The locked record of every approved pick — what it is, what it costs, which room — that the whole crew builds from.
