Texas contractor software
for the way TX builds.
Texas is one of the fastest-growing contracting markets in the US. The combination of low state income tax, population growth (Austin, DFW, Houston metros), and storm-driven repair work (hail, hurricane recovery) creates steady demand. Most TX contractors run lean — solo or 2-3 person crews.
HOW DOES SENKU
HANDLE TX LICENSING?
TDLR (Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation) + trade-specific boards
Texas licensing is trade-specific — TDLR handles HVAC and some others; the Texas Plumbing Examiners license plumbers; TECL licenses electricians; remodelers in most cities operate without a state license (city/county registration only). Senku has space for whichever ID applies to your trade.
Settings has dedicated fields for your license number, bond information, and insurance details. Once entered, they appear on every estimate, in the customer portal footer, and on the generated PDF contract — so your customer sees the compliance posture before they have to ask.
WHAT MAKES
TX DIFFERENT?
Storm-season cash flow
Texas contractors live and die by storm season — hail in spring, hurricanes in summer-fall. The work comes in waves. Senku's lead-capture quiz, AI-drafted estimates, and SMS-first customer portal are built to handle the post-storm surge when 30 leads land in a week and you cannot afford to lose any.
WHAT DO TX
CONTRACTORS ASK?
DOES SENKU HANDLE TEXAS'S TRADE-BY-TRADE LICENSING?
Yes. Settings has fields for whichever license your trade requires — TDLR (HVAC, irrigation, etc.), Plumbing Examiners number, TECL master electrician number, or city/county remodeler registration. The relevant ID appears on every estimate.
CAN I USE SENKU FOR HAIL-DAMAGE ROOFING WORK?
Yes — and it's where the lead-capture quiz pays for itself. Roofers in TX often get 50+ inbound leads after a storm; the quiz pre-qualifies by project type, urgency, and insurance status, so the leads land in your dashboard already sorted by urgency.
DOES SENKU WORK FOR SOLO CONTRACTORS IN SMALLER TEXAS MARKETS?
Yes. The free plan covers basic estimating with no credit card. Starter ($15/mo) adds the customer portal and email sending — fits solo operators in markets like Lubbock, Tyler, Beaumont, or Brownsville who do not need crew management.
DOES SENKU SUPPORT SPANISH FOR BILINGUAL TX MARKETS?
The customer-facing portal is currently English-only. Spanish translation is on the roadmap for late 2026, prioritized for South Texas and Houston-area markets where bilingual customer communication is essential.
