QUOTE REQUEST TEMPLATE

A handyman quote request template customers can actually complete.

The best first request is short enough for a customer to finish but structured enough to give the contractor something useful. Ask for the essentials, then follow up only where the specific job requires it.

Copy this customer quote-request outline

  1. Choose the type of work you need
  2. Describe what needs to be repaired, installed, assembled, or mounted
  3. Add relevant sizes, measurements, model numbers, or product details
  4. Upload clear photos of the work area or problem
  5. Share your ZIP code and preferred timing
  6. Enter your name and at least one way to contact you

Do not ask every possible question

A long form can create its own friction. Start with information that is useful across many jobs, then let the handyman ask job-specific follow-up questions when needed.

Let customers select more than one task

Small handyman requests often include several unrelated items. A single intake can keep those tasks together instead of splitting them across separate text threads.

Turn the template into a reusable link

ServicePrep turns this basic idea into a customer-facing form connected to the handyman's private request dashboard.

Frequently asked questions

Should I ask the customer for a budget?

That is a business choice. ServicePrep's current MVP focuses on job facts rather than requiring a customer budget.

Does the template create the final estimate?

No. It collects information that can help the contractor decide what to do next.

Important: ServicePrep organizes customer information. The contractor remains responsible for inspection, scope, safety decisions, diagnosis, and final pricing.
