# Estimates Software for Home Service Contractors

## Headline

Estimates you can send before you leave the driveway

## Summary

Build on-site estimates from your pricebook, send them for approval, and turn accepted work into scheduled jobs.

## Common Problems

- **Slow quotes lose to faster competitors**: When estimates wait until you are back at a desk, the homeowner books someone who texted a number first.
- **Ballpark numbers that haunt you later**: Verbal ranges without a written scope make change orders and disputes more likely.
- **Estimates lost in email threads**: Without a central record, you do not know which leads are warm and which went cold.

## Capabilities

- **Fast estimates from the field**: Add line items from your pricebook on site — send before the customer shops the next bid.
- **Professional proposal layout**: Clear scope, pricing, and terms — customers approve from their phone.
- **Estimate to job in one step**: Accepted estimates become scheduled jobs — scope and customer details carry over.
- **Pipeline visibility**: Track draft, sent, viewed, accepted, and lost — focus follow-up on the warm leads.

## Example Workflow

1. Scope the job on site. Create an estimate from the customer record — add parts and labor from your pricebook.
2. Send while you are there. Customer reviews and approves from their phone — you see when they open it.
3. Book the work. Convert accepted estimates to jobs on your board — ready to schedule.

## Who It Is For

Solo tradespeople and small home-service crews (about 1–5 people), including HVAC, plumbing, electrical, landscaping, cleaning, pest control, handyman, and pressure washing businesses.
