Quote Squirrel is the quoting and invoicing tool for the one-person trade shop — HVAC, plumbing, general contracting, landscaping. You speak the work while you are standing in it, and you leave with a signed number instead of a note to write it up later. SPEAK THE WORK, GET TYPED LINE ITEMS Talk the way you talk on site — "three sheets of half-inch drywall at eighteen fifty and two hours labor" — and it comes back as priced lines with quantities, units and labor hours. Anything it isn't sure about is flagged for you to check, never quietly guessed. THE STASH: THE MONEY YOU USED TO FORGET Every extra you capture by voice and every change order you get accepted rolls into your Recovered Revenue — this month, the last six months, your average per job, and where the year is heading. It's the small stuff you used to eat, counted. CHANGE ORDERS BEFORE THE WORK, NOT AFTER One button turns "can you also…" into a change order tied to the job, with the running contract total recalculated and a signature line ready. Get it authorized on the spot. SIGNED ON YOUR PHONE Capture the client's signature on screen, turn an accepted estimate into an invoice with the change orders already merged, and send a clean PDF or a plain-text summary. THE MARGIN LEVEL A spirit level sits on every document you build. The bubble centers when your gross margin hits the target you set — so you can see you're underpriced before you send it, not at tax time. YOUR PRICE BOOK Store what you install most, with your real cost and your real price, and it fills itself in as you speak. Starter items for your trade are there on day one; edit them to your numbers. FREE, AND STAYING FREE Unlimited estimates, invoices, change orders, voice capture, signatures and PDFs. No document caps. No paywall on the work itself.
