Quote The Job
Before You Leave
The Driveway
Take a few photos, say what the job is, and the estimate writes itself — line items, quantities, your prices. You check it, hit send, and the customer approves it from their phone while you're still parked out front.

You read it first and change anything you want. Nothing sends on its own.
Three minutes in the driveway instead of an hour at the kitchen table — and Dana has a number while she's still thinking about it.

Sample estimates, built the way the tool builds them. The line items and the numbers come from your price book, so yours read in your words at your rates.
An estimator that knows your trade — and your pricesNot a spreadsheet with a chatbot bolted on
Photo-First
Built around the way each trade reads a site: fixtures and pipe sizes, panel and wire gauge, shingle condition and flashing, equipment data plates.
Your Price Book
We load your labour rate, your common materials and your standard line items once. Every estimate comes out priced the way you'd price it, not off a national average.
Tuned Per Trade
Plumbing, electrical, HVAC, roofing, painting, landscaping and pest control each get their own expert profile instead of one generic model guessing at your work.
Sent By Text
Estimates go out as a link your customer opens in one tap. No PDF attachment, no app to install, no wondering whether they got the email.
Follows Up On Its Own
Unanswered estimates get a polite nudge automatically, so quiet quotes stop dying in someone's inbox while you're on the next job.
Approved, Invoiced, Paid
One tap to approve turns the estimate into an invoice with card payment attached. Nothing gets re-keyed into a second system.

The questions every contractor asks first
Will it send a wrong number to my customer?
Not on its own. Nothing leaves your phone until you've read it. The AI writes the draft — you're still the one who prices the job and hits send.
It doesn't know what I charge.
It does once we load your rates. Setting up your price book is part of onboarding: your labour rate, your common materials, your standard line items. Every estimate comes out of that.
I'm not a computer person.
It's a camera and a send button on your phone. If you can text a photo, you can write an estimate with it.
What about jobs you can't see in a photo?
Type or dictate the scope and it works from that. Photos make it sharper; they aren't required.
Do I have to switch everything over?
No. Estimating is one part of the system — the website, missed-call text back, reviews and invoicing are there when you want them and ignored when you don't.
How long until I'm using it?
Live in a week. Most of that is us building the site and loading your pricing; the estimating itself works the day it's set up.
