- On the customer’s phone, before the truck rolls
Priced from a book you build yourself.
Handyman quotes from the book, not from memory.
Estimates for handyman teams, priced from a book you build yourself and approved on the customer’s phone, so the number is the same on every truck and the yes is captured before you leave.
The work
The work that gets quoted.
01
Quick quotes
Estimates built from templates and stored photos, sent while the lead is still warm instead of three evenings later.
02
The day
Drag-and-drop jobs, and rescheduling the customer does online instead of by voicemail.
03
Collect
Deposits by card or ACH before the work, the invoice at the door after it.
Why it matters
The argument, in three rows.
Built from your book
Parts, labor, and accessories come from the same price book everyone quotes from, so the number the customer hears never depends on which truck showed up.
Options beat ultimatums
A tiered proposal turns take-it-or-leave-it into a choice. The customer picks a tier instead of deciding whether to trust the only number on the page.
Signed before the truck leaves
E-signature on any device, deposit collected at approval, and the accepted proposal becomes a scheduled job. Same visit.
Handyman · Estimates
The yes, captured.
Quoted from the book, approved on the phone, and turned into the job without retyping.
The old way
What the evening quote costs.
Jobs live in text threads
A schedule that lives in messages gets lost in messages.
Cold leads
An estimate that takes three days answers a customer who already hired someone.
The owner’s second shift
Evenings spent invoicing and reconciling are the ceiling on how big the book can get.
Up close
How it runs.
01
Show, don’t argue
Photos of the failing unit, the comparison between options, the before-and-after from a similar job. Embedded in the proposal, not described over the phone.
02
Multi-phase and commercial
Break big work into phases with alternates; each approved phase converts to its own job plan. Approval routing covers the facility-manager case.
03
Margin guardrails
The margin is visible while the proposal is built, so discounting is a decision, not an accident.
Straight answers
What handyman teams ask.
What does Thorbis cost for handyman teams?
$99 per company per month, unlimited people, every module as it releases. Plus metered usage. $15 included each month. Nothing on this page is a tier.
Is estimating a separate module?
No. Estimates & quotes is in Core, on the same record as the board, the estimate, and the invoice, so the handyman job never leaves the system it started in.
Is it built for handyman teams specifically?
The record is the same for every trade; what changes is the work on it. For handyman teams that means quick quotes, the day, and collect, which is the day this page is written around, and the sample rows on it are handyman jobs.
Can I standardize templates?
Yes. Reusable branded templates with recommended options, so every proposal starts from the shop’s standard instead of a blank page.
What about multi-phase jobs?
Break the proposal into phases and alternates; each converts to a separate job plan when approved.
