GC In My Pocket / Templates
Remodel spreadsheets that keep your money where you can see it
Renovation budget templates, a contractor bid comparison worksheet, expense trackers, and payment schedules — built from a real $175,000 home remodel, not a stock-template mill. Every file works in Excel or free Google Sheets. Pay once, download instantly, reuse on every project.
The Complete Remodel Spreadsheet Kit (All 8)
Every spreadsheet here in one purchase — the full toolkit to run a remodel from first bid to final payment. All 8 for less than half of buying them separately.
Or buy them one at a time
