Overview
Dirt Face is fence software for contractors, manufacturers, and wholesalers. It helps you create accurate quotes, fabricate shop items, sell wholesale, design layouts, attach shop drawings, schedule crews, invoice customers, and run day-to-day operations from one platform.
Dirt Face is built around how fence companies sell, build, and distribute, not generic construction estimating alone.
Who Dirt Face is for
Dirt Face fits fence companies that want to:
- Quote residential and commercial fence jobs faster
- Fabricate panels, gates, and make items in the shop
- Sell material to dealers from a wholesale store
- Standardize takeoffs from a real parts catalog
- Send proposals customers can review and sign online
- Move won work into jobs, schedules, and invoices without retyping
You do not have to do all three. Use install only, shop only, distribution only, or any mix. Solo operators through multi-location businesses.

How Dirt Face fits a typical fence job
Lead → Estimate → Approval → Job → (Shop fab) → Schedule → Install → Invoice → Payment
Wholesale orders can skip install and fulfill from the store. Fabrication-only work can skip field install.
Why companies switch from spreadsheets
Spreadsheets and one-off PDF templates make it hard to keep catalog costs, shop work, dealer prices, and proposals consistent. Dirt Face keeps quoting, fabrication, wholesale, and follow-through in one place.
