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
- Choose the type of work you need
- Describe what needs to be repaired, installed, assembled, or mounted
- Add relevant sizes, measurements, model numbers, or product details
- Upload clear photos of the work area or problem
- Share your ZIP code and preferred timing
- 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.
Try the workflow instead of copying another template.

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.
