The Handyman Estimate App Built for Fast Quotes

Stop Losing Evenings to Handyman Estimates

Handymen tackle dozens of small tasks in a single visit: hanging drywall, fixing leaky traps, mounting TVs, and replacing light fixtures. Doing estimates on pen and paper or opening complicated spreadsheets after dinner wastes hours you could be billing. A handyman estimate app built for the field fixes that:

• Line-item simplicity: Add each small job with its price or materials cost. The app computes the exact subtotal and tax automatically.
• Send estimates instantly: Don't say "I'll email you a quote tonight." Send a professional PDF estimate to the homeowner right while you walk the property.
• Day rate or per-job pricing: Save day rates, half-day rates, and hourly rates, then add them as a single line item or combine them with materials on the same estimate.
• Quick 1-tap conversion: Once the job is done, convert the accepted estimate into a final bill with 1 tap.

How Handymen Create an Estimate in Under 2 Minutes

Walk the property, quote the job, and get approval before you leave — without a laptop or spreadsheet:

• Step 1 — Add the customer: Enter the name, address, and job reference once. The app remembers them for repeat visits.
• Step 2 — Add line items: Tap from your saved repairs and materials — drywall patch, door adjustment, TV mount, fixture install — and set the price on each.
• Step 3 — Send the estimate: Generate a clean PDF and share it by WhatsApp, SMS, or email right from the driveway. Get customer approval on the spot.
• Step 4 — Convert to invoice: Once the work is done, tap "Convert to Invoice" and send the final bill. No double-entry.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the handyman estimate app work without internet?

Yes. Invoice for Trades works 100% offline, which is essential for basements, crawl spaces, and rural properties with weak signal. Your estimates and invoices sync automatically when you're back online.

Can I put multiple small repairs on one handyman estimate?

Yes. You can add as many line items as you need — drywall patches, door adjustments, fixture installs, TV mounts — each with its own price, and the app calculates the subtotal and tax automatically.

Can I convert an accepted handyman estimate into an invoice?

Yes. Once the customer approves the estimate, you can convert it into a final invoice with one tap. No re-entering any line items.

Can I charge a day rate instead of per-job pricing?

Yes. You can save day rates, half-day rates, and hourly rates, then add them as a single line item or combine them with materials and parts on the same estimate.

Can I send handyman estimates by WhatsApp or email?

Yes. Invoice for Trades generates a clean PDF estimate or invoice that you can share directly through WhatsApp, SMS, email, or any other sharing app on your Android phone.
