Product / Video Estimates
Coming soonSee the job before you drive to it.
Some jobs need a site visit. Many don’t. Video Estimates lets a customer walk you through the problem from their phone. Use it to skip wasted trips, or turn your expertise into a paid service.
Coming soon. On the roadmap. Not available yet. This page describes how Video Estimates is being designed to work.
The problem
Every unnecessary estimate trip costs you half a morning.
Driving across town to look at a job that’s too small, out of scope, or a quick fix eats time you could bill.
Options
Two ways to use it
Choose the approach that fits your business, or use both for different kinds of jobs.
- Save time
Free video estimates
Offer free remote walkthroughs to qualify jobs before you commit to a site visit.
- Screen out jobs that are too small or out of scope
- Quote simple jobs without leaving the shop
- Only drive out when the job is worth it
- Earn revenue
Paid video consultations
Charge for your expertise. Customers book and pay for a video consultation, and we help handle the payment flow.
- Set your own price for a consultation
- Payment collected when the customer books
- Option to credit the fee toward the job if they hire you
Video Estimates is coming soon. Both options describe how it is being designed to work.
What it's designed to do
How Video Estimates will help
A link, not an app
Customers open a link on their phone. Nothing to download.
Free or paid, your call
Offer walkthroughs at no charge, or set a price and collect payment upfront.
Payment flow handled
For paid consultations, booking and payment happen together, so you’re not chasing invoices.
Saved to the job
Walkthrough notes and photos stay with the customer record for whoever does the work.
Fits your schedule
Book walkthroughs into gaps in your day instead of blocking out drive time.
How it works
Three simple steps
Step 1
Send a link
When a request comes in, send a walkthrough link, free or with a booking fee.
Step 2
See the job
The customer shows you the problem on video from their phone.
Step 3
Quote or book
Quote remotely or book the visit, with everything saved to the job.
Questions
Does the customer need to install anything?
No. The walkthrough opens in their phone’s web browser.
Can I charge for video consultations?
That’s one of the two ways Video Estimates is being designed to work. You set the price, the customer pays when they book, and you can choose to credit it toward the job.
