"I used to spend 15 minutes setting up estimates on my laptop at night. Now I build the quote and send it via WhatsApp before I even leave the customer's driveway."

"Sending professional proposals directly to my client's WhatsApp is incredible. Clients tap the link, hit approve, and I get paid the same day instead of waiting for emails to be opened."

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about switching your carpet cleaning quoting to QuoteNest.
Why do solo cleaners and pressure washers switch from Markate to QuoteNest?
Markate costs $39.95/month plus paid add-on modules and uses traditional multi-field forms. Solo cleaners and exterior washers switch to QuoteNest because it is 70% cheaper ($12/month flat with zero add-ons) and features a modern 30-second mobile calculator, 1-Tap Native SMS and WhatsApp proposals, Driveway Glance pinned gate codes, and automated repeat rebooking.
Are any features locked behind paid add-ons in QuoteNest?
None. Every feature—including unlimited quotes, unlimited digital & PDF invoices, 1-Tap Native SMS ($0 carrier fees), 200 WhatsApp messages/month, Client 360° Hub, 1-Tap Google Review Booster, and Dual Rebooking—is included in the $12/month Standard plan.
Can I test QuoteNest for free before switching?
Yes. Start a 14-day free trial in 60 seconds with no credit card required.
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.
