Track 6-month and 12-month repeat carpet cleaning intervals automatically the moment you mark an invoice paid.

Keep $444–$1,044/Year for Truckmount Maintenance

Our Honest Anti-Bloat Guarantee

We do not build GPS fleet vehicle tracking, 15-technician dispatch boards, or complex corporate accounting modules. If you manage a large fleet of service trucks, GorillaDesk is built for you. But if you're a solo carpet cleaning pro who just wants to calculate a quote in 30 seconds, send a branded link via WhatsApp, and get paid for $12/month, QuoteNest was engineered exclusively for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about switching your carpet cleaning quoting to QuoteNest.

Is QuoteNest a good GorillaDesk alternative for pressure washers and window cleaners?

Yes. While GorillaDesk is built primarily for pest control operators needing EPA pesticide tracking ($49–$99/mo per route), QuoteNest is built specifically for solo pressure washers, soft washers, window cleaners, and residential cleaners. You get 30-second square-footage and linear-footage calculators, 1-Tap Native SMS and WhatsApp proposals, and seasonal rebooking reminders for $12/month flat.

Do I have to upgrade to a $99/month Pro plan to get automations in QuoteNest?

No. QuoteNest has zero feature gating. Every plan ($12/mo Standard or $18/3-mo Founder Pass) includes the full Dual-Trade Quoting Engine, Client 360° Hub, Driveway Glance pinned property notes, 1-Tap Google Review Booster, and Dual Rebooking Engine.

Can I try QuoteNest without entering a credit card?

Yes. You can start a 14-day free trial in 60 seconds with no credit card required, including 25 WhatsApp automated messages and unlimited 1-Tap Native SMS.

Should I charge per room or per square foot for carpet cleaning?

Per room. It's faster, your client understands it, and you don't waste 10 minutes measuring. Most pros charge $40–$60 per standard room with a minimum call-out fee of $75–$110. Charge add-ons separately — pet stain treatment runs $30–$50 extra per room, and Scotchgard protection is another $15–$50 per room.

How do I beat the big carpet cleaning franchises?

You won't out-advertise them. You beat them on speed and personal touch. When a homeowner requests quotes from 3 companies, whoever responds first with a clean, professional quote usually wins. While the franchise is routing your request through a call center, you've already sent a branded quote from your van.
