Estimate App for Contractors Who Quote On-Site

• Three price options, one estimate

  Instead of redoing a quote three times, build one estimate with Good, Better and Best tiers and let the customer pick. They see the difference in scope and price side by side, right on their own phone. Whichever tier they choose becomes the job, ready to schedule.

• What a contractor estimate needs to include

  A contractor estimate needs labor and materials broken out, not folded into one number, so the client can see what they're paying for. Add a markup on materials to cover ordering and waste, and state how long the price is good for. Each line is marked taxable or not, using the tax rate you set. For the full list of what belongs on the document, see our guide How to Write a Contractor Estimate That Gets Approved.

• A signature instead of a maybe

  The customer approves and e-signs the estimate on their phone, so you leave with a yes instead of a promise to call you back. That signed approval is kept with the job, so there's a record if a scope question comes up later. Ask for a deposit when they approve, and if they want something changed they can send a change request from the same page instead of going quiet.

• From the walkthrough to a signed yes, same visit

  Say you're walking a kitchen remodel with a client. You price the job into Good, Better and Best tiers right there on your phone or laptop, based on what you see. The client compares the tiers and signs before you've left the house. That estimate is now the job, ready to schedule with nothing to re-key later.

• The estimate becomes the invoice

  Once a job is approved, its line items carry straight through to scheduling and then to the invoice, so nothing gets retyped. Materials and labor stay tagged the way you entered them, and each line stays marked taxable or not. That's one record for a job instead of three separate documents.

• Priced for a small crew, not a big one

  Solo is US$14.99 a month for one person. Team is US$49 a month flat for up to 10 people, with the same features either way. Starter is free, enough to send a real estimate and see how it feels.

• What to check before you switch from quotes in a notebook or texts

  A verbal price or a text thread is fine until a client asks what was actually included. Check that any estimate tool you try keeps a signed copy with the job, not just a sent-messages folder. You can export your records at any time. Starter is free, enough to send a real estimate and see whether the workflow fits how you quote.
