Build a quote the customer says yes to

Add your line items, check the total, send. The customer sees the service, the price and exactly what you’ll do — no “what’s this charge for?” calls, no haggling over a number scribbled on a card.

Use the estimate as a job checklist

List the tasks the customer is approving: pull the old faucet, install the new one, check every connection for leaks. Repeat services come straight from your price book, so you’re not retyping what you charged last time.

Two phones side by side. Contractor view: the Workly estimate editor for Sarah Mitchell's faucet replacement, where one tap adds Leak check $60.00 from the price book and the total goes from $220.00 to $280.00, then the estimate is sent. Customer view: the same Estimate #1038 from Bayside Renovation listing what will be done, Remove old faucet $60.00, Install customer-supplied faucet $160.00 and Leak check $60.00, total $280.00.

Get it in writing before you pick up a tool

Have the customer sign right on your phone, or send the estimate and let them sign from theirs. Price and scope are agreed before the job starts — no “that’s not what we talked about” when the bill comes.

Need materials or a day blocked out? Request a deposit on the estimate. The customer sees what it’s for and pays it from the same link — the estimate flips to Deposit collected before you spend a dollar.

Job’s done? Your invoice already is.

Open the signed estimate, tap Convert, and it’s an invoice — same line items, same prices, ready to send with a Pay Now button.

Add what changed, then send

Added a shutoff valve mid-job? Edit the line and send. And the moment the customer opens the estimate or the invoice, you get a notification and the status flips to Viewed — so you follow up while it’s fresh, not three days later.

Not sure what to charge? Workly’s AI checks the service and your location and shows the range the job should land in — or drafts the whole estimate from a one-line job description. AI estimating

Questions about estimates

Can I create estimates on my iPhone?

Yes. Build and send estimates in the Workly app at the job site or between visits — no laptop, no PDF juggling.

Does Workly support signatures?

Yes. The customer signs on your phone when you’re together, or online from their own phone when you’re not.

Do I need AI to make an estimate?

No. Build it yourself, start from your price book, or let AI draft it and check the price — you decide what goes to the customer.

What if the customer goes quiet?

Every estimate carries its status: Sent, Viewed, Signed, Deposit collected, Paid. The ones stuck at Viewed are easy to spot, and the customer’s number is one tap away in their record.
