Crawl under the sink, price the fix your way - "replace garbage disposal $380, new supply lines $90, labor 1.5 hours at $125/hr" - and AI formats a branded, line-itemed estimate in 60 seconds. You set every price. We make it look professional and get it signed. Made for solopreneur plumbers and entrepreneur-owned shops, not big franchises with a back-office team.
Plumbing emergencies don't wait for business hours. The homeowner with a flooded kitchen is calling every company that picks up. The plumber who arrives, diagnoses, and sends a professional estimate first wins the job. If you tell them you'll "email something tomorrow," the next plumber already has the signature.
FastEstimateMaker puts the estimate in the customer's hands before you pack up your tools.
No laptop. No office. Just your phone and your voice.
Find the leak, camera the drain, test the pressure. Determine what needs to be repaired or replaced.
"Replace 40-gallon water heater $1,800, new supply lines $180, expansion tank $160, labor 4 hours at $125/hr." You set every price - AI formats the line items.
Review and tap send. The customer gets a branded client portal with every part and labor hour itemized.
The customer reviews and accepts digitally. You get a notification instantly. Order parts and start the work. Or share your booking link and let them pick a time - the appointment syncs to your Google Calendar automatically.
Describe the job in plain English - "replace 40-gallon Bradford White water heater $1,800, expansion tank $160, new copper supply lines $180, disconnect and haul old unit $150, labor 4 hours at $125/hr" - you dictate the scope and the price. AI formats it into a clean, branded estimate in under 60 seconds. No templates. Your pricing, your margins.
When a pipe bursts on a Sunday night, the homeowner isn't comparison shopping - they need it fixed now. Send a professional estimate on-site with your emergency rate, parts, and labor. The customer sees exactly what they're paying before you start. Transparent, fast, professional.
Not every plumbing job is urgent. For remodels and repipes, homeowners take time to decide. FastEstimateMaker generates pre-written, job-specific follow-up texts ready to send - "Hi Tom, just checking in on the bathroom repipe estimate. Ready to schedule?" You review it, tap send, and the lead stays warm while you're on the next call. Need a different angle? Generate a new follow-up on demand right from your dashboard.
A repipe or a tankless swap means you front the parts before anyone has paid you a dollar. Make the deposit a term of the estimate and the customer is asked to pay it the moment they sign - card or wallet, from the same link you texted them. It is a real signature, typed or drawn on their phone, and you both get the signed PDF.
Structure the rest around the job: a progress draw at rough-in, the balance at completion, each with its own due date. Signing drafts the invoice for you, and unpaid invoices chase themselves with text and email reminders, so you are never the one asking twice. Deposits, payment schedules, e-signature, and online payments are all part of the $29.99 Solo plan.

Every emergency plumbing search ends the same way - the homeowner scans star ratings and calls from the top of the list. The jobs you already finished should be building that list for you, but nobody wants to stand in a wet kitchen asking for a favor.
Add your Google review link and FastEstimateMaker asks on your behalf. When an invoice is paid in full, it texts the customer a Google review request - only if they agreed to texts, and only inside texting quiet hours. The payment page invites them to review right after they pay, and you can text a review link to any past customer in one tap. Included in the $29.99 Solo plan.
Older neighborhoods mean galvanized pipes, failing water heaters, and outdated fixtures. Plan your route, log every door - interested, scheduled, not home - and set follow-up reminders. One repipe referral on a block can turn into five. Text them your booking link right from the canvass popup - they pick a time, and the appointment is in your pipeline.
Canvassing and sales territories are on the Canvass plan at $59.99/month, plus $19.99/month for each sales rep you invite. Your own login is included, and everything else on this page is in the $29.99 Solo plan.
"Got called for a water heater replacement on a Saturday. Diagnosed the issue, spoke the estimate into my phone, and had it approved before I drove to the supply house. $2,600 job - signed in 2 minutes."
- Tony M., Reliable Plumbing, Atlanta GAYes. Speak the parts and labor separately - "Moen Align faucet $280, supply lines $45, labor 2 hours at $125/hr" - and AI creates individual line items for each. You control every dollar amount.
Absolutely. When you're under a sink at 10 PM, the last thing you want to do is type up an estimate. Speak the repair, your emergency rate, and the parts - AI formats a professional estimate you can text before you leave.
Yes, and it is a real signature rather than just a tap. The customer opens the link, reviews the scope, and signs on their phone with a typed or drawn signature - no app, no account. You both get the signed PDF and you get an instant notification. Attach one of your contract templates and your terms travel with the estimate, and if the estimate carries a deposit the customer is prompted to pay it right after signing.
Yes. Speak each phase - "demo existing copper $1,200, run PEX 2,400 feet at $3.50/ft, 14 fixture hookups at $85 each, permits $350, labor 40 hours at $95/hr" - and AI organizes it all into one detailed estimate.
Perfect use case. Speak the unit, venting, gas line, expansion tank, and your labor - each becomes its own line item. Save price lists for different brands and switch between them per job.
Yes. Photograph the supply-house receipt and FastEstimateMaker reads the merchant, total, and line items back as an editable cost filed against that job. Log your own hours at your labor rate and the job shows true margin - what you collected minus what you spent on parts, subs, and permits. You can also roll those recorded costs straight into the next estimate with your markup applied.
