Build My EstimateQuestions
Is the estimate maker really free?
Yes. Build and send estimates without an account. Make a free account only when you want cloud backup.
Is this better than a free quote template?
A template is a blank page — you do the math. The estimate maker adds up labor by role, materials with your markup, and fees for you, and your customer can sign it online.
Where do the prices come from?
They're typical 2026 US customer prices from TradeShield's electrical, plumbing and HVAC pricing guides. Swap in your own rates before you send.
Will my customer see my costs or markup?
No. Your customer only sees the final price for each item. Your cost and markup stay on your side.
