This is the one." — 5.0/5 > **Justin** | *31 March 2026* | Construction Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: effective in systematizing a challenging estimating process. allows estimates to get out the door far faster in a more presentable way. > > **Cons**: learning any new software is challenging. it took months to get to a comfortable place. still leaning into optimization. > > great customer service. prompt response time. fair in solving discrepancies due to shortcomings in development ----- ### "Cost Certified" — 5.0/5 > **Tim** | *18 February 2026* | Construction Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The product is extremely ease of use and has a very small learning curve, it is fantastic at creating quotes and estimate in a timely manner. > > **Cons**: The app has some issues with sizing on android apps that can be annoying at times. Looking for past jobs can be a bit of a hassle. > > Bolster’s Cost Certified App has been a game changer for my business. It’s an incredibly well-built platform that makes creating detailed, professional quotes straightforward and efficient. Over the past few years, this app has saved me hundreds of hours. Instead of spending evenings buried in spreadsheets, I can focus on prospecting, managing projects, and growing my business. For contractors who value accuracy, transparency, and efficiency, this is a tool worth having in your stack. Highly recommend. ----- ### "Company Owner" — 1.0/5 > **Brooks** | *19 June 2025* | Construction Software | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: I liked the idea of the software; however, they never finished setting up my software to allow me to use it. They would not provide a refund, so my experience felt like a total scam. > > **Cons**: Inability to get the roofing and bathroom estimating templates created. They did not finish the templates for me to use them. > > My initial rep was great and very helpful however he left the company, and no one picked up where he left off, so I was never able to use the software at all ----- ### "Excellent Program" — 5.0/5 > **Kevin** | *20 February 2025* | Construction Software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Bolster is customizable to many styles of estimating. The customer support just keeps geting better. \[sensitive content hidden\] has always been so responsive and really makes sure you understand a concept before letting you go. They are open to suggestions to improve the system, with having their development team in house. > > **Cons**: I'm not an IT guy so it took me a bit to get used to. I am sure someone who is more adept at software will have no problem. The PDF format that I print out for the hardcopy is quite lengthy. Consolidation would make it easier to look through for client and crew. I would like to see the Change Order component populate as a separate summary from the originally signed estimate. That way the client and crew doesn't have to sift throught the entire original estimate to find the changes. > > It is a tool that has helped make my estimating more efficient. I love that just as we seek to improve processes in our company they too are growing with us. ----- ### "A game changer for remote teams." — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *30 January 2026* | Construction Software | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Top two pros: Customization and Speed Love that I am able to tailor pricing to meet my company's needs. With the template features the turnaround time has sped up immensly. > > **Cons**: Top Two: Aesthetics and Technical Issues Every now and again there are glitches or features will "act incorrectly." Best way to deal with this is to make sure you are saving your work, and double check before sending out estimates. I miss the Aesthetics and user experience of the Cost Certified version of this software. It had more visual appeal. > > In spite of the cons, I would say that the software is worth it. It has enabled my estimating team to work in coordination and in a timely manner. The Bolster Support team typically responds quickly and is always helpful. ----- Page: 1 / 4\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ae/software/199769/bolster?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ae/software/199769/bolster) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | ----- ## Structured Data
