Faucet swaps, drywall patches, fixture installs, door adjustments - you do a little of everything. FastEstimateMaker's AI turns a list of repairs into a clean, itemized quote, delivered as a branded client portal, in under a minute. Then it tracks and follows up for you.
No credit card required. Built for handymen.
A handyman's day jumps from a leaky faucet to a sticking door to a ceiling fan to a drywall patch. Every job is a different mix of skills, and every quote means itemizing little tasks across plumbing, electrical, carpentry, and more. Typing all of that into your phone between jobs - or putting it off until you're worn out at night - is how quotes go out late and jobs go to whoever answered first. FastEstimateMaker's AI handles the itemizing for you.
Describe the whole punch list in plain language - speak it, type it, or forward the client's text - and AI breaks it into organized, itemized line items with your pricing.
No spreadsheets. No retyping every little task. Just describe the work.
Forward the homeowner's text, speak the punch list, or type it out. The AI understands a mix of repair tasks.
The AI identifies every task, breaks it into line items, and applies your catalog pricing automatically.
Check the itemized estimate, adjust if needed, and send via text or email. Your client gets a professional, branded portal they can accept from their phone.
Get notified when the client opens the quote. Automated follow-ups chase the lead while you're on the next job. Or share your booking link and let them schedule a time - the appointment syncs to your Google Calendar automatically.
Forward the homeowner's text - "Can you replace the kitchen faucet, patch a few holes in the hallway, install a ceiling fan in the bedroom, fix two sticking doors, and re-caulk the tub?" - and FastEstimateMaker's AI does what you'd normally spend 20 minutes typing out by hand.
It reads every task, sorts it into line items, applies quantities and pricing from your catalog, and generates a clean, itemized quote in a branded client portal, with a PDF backup. The AI handles 50+ trade categories, so whether the day's work is plumbing, electrical, carpentry, drywall, or tile, it knows the terminology and the structure - even when you list everything in one breath.
As a handyman, you quote the same handful of jobs over and over. FastEstimateMaker's pricing catalog lets you save every standard repair - organized by category - so your quotes are consistent and fast, and you never lowball yourself in a hurry.
Set up categories for the work you do: plumbing, electrical, carpentry, drywall, tile, mounting, and more. Save your per-job rates, hourly labor, and material markups. When the AI builds a quote, it pulls from your catalog automatically. Bulk import lets you load your entire price list at once. Update a price in one place and it's reflected in every future quote.
Handymen field more quote requests than almost any other trade - lots of small jobs, lots of different homeowners, all moving fast. Keeping track of who you quoted, who got back to you, and who's still waiting in your head - or worse, in a pile of texts - is how easy jobs slip away.
FastEstimateMaker's CRM tracks every quote from the moment you create it. See which quotes are still pending, which clients have opened theirs, who's been followed up with, and which jobs you've won or lost. Your pipeline metrics show you the real numbers: total pending value, acceptance rate, and average days to decision.
And handymen get more repeat calls than almost any trade. When the same homeowner comes back three months later for the next thing on her list, you start the job on her existing record instead of retyping her name and address - every past quote, invoice, note, and job photo is already attached. She sees the same history in her own customer portal, so the second job is a two-minute quote instead of a fresh start.

Homeowners get a handyman quote, then get busy. A $400 punch list sits unanswered for a week not because they said no - but because nobody reminded them. If you don't follow up, the next handyman who texts gets the job.
FastEstimateMaker's automated follow-ups email you up to three ready-to-send messages after the quote is delivered - each one AI-written for the specific job, the client's name, and how many days have passed. Early messages are friendly check-ins. Later messages add gentle urgency. The final message is a polite last call. Text or email each one in a tap, and the drafts stop the moment the client accepts or passes.
You finished the work - the last thing you want is to sit down and re-type the whole punch list into an invoice. With FastEstimateMaker, the quote you already built becomes the invoice.
Convert any accepted quote to an invoice with one tap. Every line item carries over. Send it by email or text. Your client pays online through Stripe or Square. Connect QuickBooks Online or Wave and the invoice - every line item, the client record, quantities, and pricing - syncs to your accounting software automatically. No double-entry, no shoebox of receipts.

When a homeowner is choosing between three handymen, the one who sends a clean, itemized quote wins - even at a higher price. A branded client portal with your logo, organized line items, and clear totals signals that you're organized, reliable, and worth trusting in their home.
FastEstimateMaker generates quotes with your logo, brand colors, custom footer message, and your chosen template style. The client sees a professional document - not a number texted back or a figure scribbled on a business card. For a handyman competing on trust as much as price, that presentation is worth real money.
Handyman work runs on word of mouth, and word of mouth now happens on Google. The hard part is asking: you finish the punch list, load the truck, and the polite moment to bring up a review is already gone.
Add your Google review link and FastEstimateMaker asks for you. When an invoice is paid in full, it texts the client a review request - only if they agreed to texts, and only inside texting quiet hours, so nobody gets a 9pm ask. The payment page invites them to leave a review the moment they pay, and you can text a review link to any past client yourself in one tap. It runs on the $29.99 Solo plan with everything else on this page.
FastEstimateMaker is handyman estimate software for the trades a handyman actually covers in a week - drywall patches, faucet swaps, deck boards, ceiling fans, and the punch list that came with all four. Speak the list and your rates, and the AI itemizes every task, applies your pricing, and formats a branded quote in about a minute.
Because that quote sends as a text link the client can approve and pay from, it is handyman quote software and full handyman estimating software in one - no spreadsheets, no per-estimate fees, nothing to install. Whether you want estimate software for a handyman business with one truck, or handyman quoting software your second tech can use from their own login, the client sees the professional version first.
Setting the rates behind those quotes is the other half of the job. Start with our 2026 handyman pricing guide and its free price list, then save those numbers to your pricing library so every estimate after the first one takes seconds.
"A homeowner texted me a list of eight little fixes around her house. I spoke it into FastEstimateMaker and had an itemized quote sent before I pulled out of the driveway. She booked me that afternoon. I used to lose jobs like that just because I didn't get the quote out fast enough."
- David T., Handyman, Austin TXYes. Describe the whole job in plain language - replace a faucet, patch three drywall holes, install a ceiling fan, re-caulk the tub - and the AI breaks it into organized, itemized line items with your pricing. Single repairs and long punch lists are both supported.

Yes. The AI handles 50+ trade categories, so whether the task is plumbing, electrical, drywall, carpentry, tile, or general repair, it knows the terminology and builds the right line items. Describe the work in any order and it organizes it for you.
Yes. Your quote goes out as a contract the client signs on their phone with a typed or drawn signature - no app and no account for them - and you both get the signed PDF. Make a deposit a term of the quote and they are asked to pay it the moment they sign, with the balance due on a date or split into installments. Signing drafts the invoice for you, so a kitchen refresh or a multi-day punch list is booked and funded before you buy materials.
