For handyman and home repair businesses

Handyman quote follow-up software for a week of small jobs

Shelves on Monday, a sticking door on Tuesday, three new enquiries by Wednesday. When every job is small, the quotes multiply and the follow-ups vanish. QuoteFollow gives each handyman estimate a status and a reminder, so the little jobs add up to a full diary.

QuoteFollow for handyman businesses, in short

QuoteFollow is quote follow-up software for small handyman businesses. It helps handymen send quick, itemised quotes, keep track of the ones customers have not answered, follow up at the right time, book accepted jobs, invoice from the quote and remember regular odd jobs.

Why handyman quotes slip through the cracks

A handyman business sends more quotes than most trades, each worth less, and the admin grows faster than the work.

  • Too many small estimates to remember

    Ten quotes a week for flat-pack, curtain poles, silicone and door fitting cannot all live in your head, and the ones you forget are never chased.

  • Customers delay because the job is not urgent

    A dripping tap or a loose fence panel can wait, so customers put off saying yes. Without a nudge, “not urgent” becomes “never”.

  • Follow-ups lost between jobs

    You mean to reply from the van, then the next job starts. By evening the enquiry is two days old.

  • Lists of jobs that change on the day

    The customer adds “while you are here” tasks. If the quote and invoice are not connected, the extras are easy to forget to charge for.

Common questions, answered first

How do I follow up on handyman quotes without spending my evenings on admin?

Set the follow-up date as you send the quote, so you never have to work out later who needs chasing. In QuoteFollow, the dashboard shows the follow-ups due today, and a reminder email arrives on the day, so the evening job is a short list rather than a search through messages.

A customer keeps putting off my handyman quote. What should I do?

Make deciding easy: offer two dates, or suggest grouping the job with other small tasks into a half-day visit. If they still are not ready, set a later follow-up date and move on. QuoteFollow keeps the quote, so you can pick it up without starting again.

How do I turn an accepted handyman quote into a booked job?

Book it as soon as it is accepted. In QuoteFollow, an accepted quote becomes a job that shows you need to contact the customer and pick a date. Once it is booked, it appears with its date and time, and you mark it completed when the work is done.

From a list of odd jobs to a booked half-day

An example of a typical handyman enquiry, with several small tasks on one quote.

Quote → Follow-up → Accepted → Scheduled → Completed → Invoice → Repeat work

  1. Quote

    A customer sends a list: hang two doors, fit a curtain pole and reseal the bath. You send one quote with each task as a line.

  2. Follow-up

    Nothing comes back. Three days later you are reminded, and you offer a half-day slot the following week.

  3. Accepted

    The customer accepts the quote online.

  4. Scheduled

    You book Wednesday afternoon.

  5. Completed

    On the day you also fix a cupboard hinge, and you mark the job completed.

  6. Invoice

    You create the invoice from the quote, add the cupboard hinge as an extra line, and send it.

  7. Repeat work

    The customer asks for gutters to be cleared every autumn, so you add a yearly schedule and are reminded each October.

What each part of QuoteFollow does for handyman businesses

Professional quotes
Build a quote from saved prices for the jobs you do every week, with a starting list of common handyman items to review and price. Several small tasks fit on one tidy quote.
Follow-up reminders
Every quote gets a follow-up date, and the dashboard lists what is due today, so chasing ten small quotes takes minutes.
Automatic customer follow-up (optional)
If you switch it on, QuoteFollow sends one short email on the follow-up date you set for it (or three days after you email the quote) asking the customer whether they have had a chance to look. It is optional and off by default.
Quote status
See which quotes have been opened, accepted or declined, and which have expired, at a glance.
Customer acceptance
Customers say yes from the quote link, which is clearer than a thumbs-up emoji in a message thread.
Job scheduling
Accepted quotes become jobs to book, with a date and time, so the diary reflects what customers agreed.
Invoices from the quote
Create the invoice from the quote, add the “while you are here” extras, and send it. Nothing done on the day is forgotten.
Repeat work reminders
Remember yearly gutter clears, seasonal jobs or regular maintenance for landlords with repeat schedules and reminders.

Who QuoteFollow is for, and who it is not

QuoteFollow is built for small service businesses that quote before they work. It is not an enterprise field-service system: there is no dispatch optimisation, fleet management, payroll or complex workforce management.

A good fit

  • Self-employed handymen and small home repair businesses
  • Businesses that send many small quotes each week
  • Handymen working for homeowners, landlords and letting agents

Probably not the right tool

  • Facilities management companies that need work-order portals for many sites
  • Businesses that need technician dispatch, routing or timesheets
  • Firms that need online booking and payment at the point of enquiry

Handyman businesses: frequently asked questions

Can I put several small handyman jobs on one quote?
Yes. Add each task as its own line with a quantity and price, and the quote totals them with any discount and tax.
How many times should I follow up on a handyman quote?
Once or twice is usually enough for small jobs: a reminder a few days after sending, and possibly one more offering a specific date. QuoteFollow reminds you on each follow-up date you set.
Can I add extra work to the invoice after the job?
Yes. The invoice is created from the quote as a draft that you can edit before sending, so extra tasks can be added as new lines.
Does QuoteFollow work on my phone between jobs?
Yes. QuoteFollow works in a mobile browser and can be installed to your home screen. There is no app store download.
Can QuoteFollow help with repeat work from landlords?
Yes. Set repeat schedules for regular tasks at a property and QuoteFollow reminds your business before each one is due.
How much does QuoteFollow cost for a handyman business?
QuoteFollow is $15 USD a month for one plan with every feature, after a 14-day free trial that needs no credit card.
