Scheduling Estimate Visits Without Losing Billable Time

Estimates Don't Pay

An estimate visit is unpaid time. Bigger jobs need one; small ones usually don't.

Estimate From Photos When You Can

For a TV mount, a faucet swap or a drywall patch, ask for photos by text. Most small jobs can be priced from a couple of photos and a few questions.

Fit Visits Into Routes

When you do need to see it, schedule the estimate visit on a day you're already nearby. A ten-minute stop on the way between two paid jobs costs far less than a dedicated trip.

Meetings Add-On

If you do many estimate visits, the Meetings add-on gives customers a booking link with reminders, so the visit is on your calendar without phone tag.

Turn It Around Fast

Send the estimate the same day while you're still fresh in the customer's mind. The handyman who quotes first often gets the job.
