About TradesQuote

Your work already looks professional. Your quotes should too.

TradesQuote turns a plain description of the job into a clean, line-item estimate — so what lands in your customer's inbox looks as sharp as the work you do on site. No napkin math, no dusty spreadsheet, just a fast, professional quote.

Ask any contractor how estimates actually get built, and the honest answer is rarely "a system" — it's memory, a gut-feel markup, and whatever pricing sheet is still open in a browser tab. The same person who wires a panel to code or gets a furnace running in freezing weather ends up handwriting a quote on a clipboard, or copy-pasting an old estimate and hoping the numbers still hold up. The work is expert. The paperwork often isn't — and the customer sees the paperwork first.

TradesQuote exists to close that gap. Describe the job in plain language — the scope, the materials, the site conditions — and our AI turns it into a clean, professional, line-item estimate, so quotes go out fast and consistent instead of slow and improvised. It's not about replacing the expertise trades bring to a job; it's about making sure that expertise shows up in the quote as clearly as it shows up in the work.

We build around how trades actually work, not how software companies think business should work — from HVAC-specific calculators and glossary tools that speak the industry's language, to estimates that plug straight into the accounting and job-management systems contractors already run on. Nobody should have to rip out their workflow just to get a faster quote out the door.

What we believe

Built for the trades, not adapted from generic software

We're not repurposing generic small-business software and calling it trade-ready. Estimating for HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and similar trades has its own vocabulary, its own line items, and its own pace — TradesQuote is built around that from the ground up.

Speed shouldn't cost you accuracy

A fast quote that's missing line items just creates a headache later. The goal isn't the fastest estimate — it's a fast estimate you'd still stand behind if the customer read it line by line.

Fits into your business, not around it

Nobody wants to learn a new system mid-job. TradesQuote connects with the tools you already use — Simpro, Jobber, QuickBooks, Xero, and Zapier — so estimating gets faster without adding another app to babysit.

Every quote is a first impression

A clean, professional, line-item estimate tells a customer you run a tight operation before you've ever picked up a tool. We treat the quote itself as part of the craftsmanship.

TradesQuote is built to slot into your workflow, not replace it — it already connects with the software running your back office: Simpro, Jobber, QuickBooks, Xero, and Zapier.
