Plumbers quoting FAQ
What is the best quoting app for plumbers?
+
The best plumber quoting app is the one you can use one-handed in a crawl space. TradeShield is phone-first, with Journeyman and Apprentice rates pre-loaded, materials and fixtures with automatic markup, and a customer-safe share link that hides your cost and margin.
Can I quote service calls and re-pipes in the same app?
+
Yes. Service calls, fixture swaps, water-heater installs, re-pipes, slab leaks, and rough-ins all use the same flow — set hours per role, add materials with your markup, send for signature.
Will my customer see my markup on fixtures and parts?
+
Never. The customer view only shows the sell price and scope. Cost, markup, and gross margin are visible only in your contractor view and the Insights tab.
How do change orders work when I open up a wall and find more?
+
From the locked job, tap Change Order, price the extra work using the same builder, and send it to the customer. Both parties sign before the change is added to the job total — no more eating the cost of surprises.
Does it support emergency callouts and after-hours rates?
+
Yes. You can edit the hourly rate per role on any quote, or save a separate emergency rate template you reuse for after-hours work.
Is it really free?
+
Yes. TradeShield is free while we're in beta — no credit card, no trial expiry, no login required to start.
