The quote goes out the same hour. You still sign every one.
Most jobs go to the first real number on the table, and most estimates take days because writing them takes an evening you do not have. The quote desk drafts every estimate from your own pricing rules the hour the inquiry lands. You approve or edit from your phone, then it sends.

✓ Sent 10:25 AM with your name on it · follow-up scheduled for day 3
Inquiry to sent in 45 minutes, and every number came off your own sheet.
It drafts. You sign.
A quote is a promise about your money, so the desk is built around one rule: no number reaches a customer that you did not approve.
The rules it never breaks
- Prices come only from the rules and rate card you set. No rule, no number.
- Every quote waits for your approval. Edit it, hold it, or kill it from your phone.
- Photo-based drafts are labeled as estimates pending inspection, in the customer’s copy too.
When a job cannot be quoted
- Jobs that need eyes on site get the site visit booked instead of a guess.
- Anything outside your price book goes to you with the draft blank, not filled with fiction.
- Your exclusions and payment terms ride on every quote, every time.
What you get, and who it fits.
Built in a working session from the pricing already in your head, your spreadsheet, or your last fifty quotes.
Included
- Your price book turned into rules: rates, minimums, travel, materials, exclusions.
- Drafts from forms, emails, texts, and job photos, usually within minutes.
- One-tap approve and edit from your phone, with your name on the quote.
- Automatic, polite follow-up until every quote gets an answer.
- A weekly note: quotes out, quotes won, and where the stalls are.
A strong fit if
- Quoting happens at the kitchen table after the real work is done.
- Your prices follow patterns you could explain to a new hire.
- You know at least one job this month went to whoever quoted first.

The questions owners actually ask.
My pricing is complicated. Too complicated?
Complicated usually means it lives in your head as rules with exceptions. The setup session writes those rules down, and the exceptions become the flags the desk raises for you instead of guessing. If a corner of your pricing truly cannot be ruled, that corner stays yours and the desk says so on the draft.
Can it quote from photos?
Yes, as a labeled ballpark: the customer’s copy says the number holds pending an inspection, and the draft flags what the photos could not show. For trades where photos mislead, you can rule that photo inquiries always book a site visit instead.
What does it cost?
A flat setup for the rules session plus a monthly amount, scoped on the free call. The honest comparison is one job per month that currently goes to a faster quote, and the evenings you get back.
What if I want to change a price?
Change the rule once and every draft after it follows. Seasonal rates, a materials bump, a new minimum: one edit, not a habit you have to remember on every quote.
