The Wall of Love
Join hundreds of solo cleaners and trade contractors who stopped overpaying for complex corporate CRMs.
"Was paying over $150/mo for heavy software with dispatch boards I never touched as a one-man show. QuoteNest is $12/mo flat and does exactly what I need right from my phone."
"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."
"Most contractor software is built for 15-person companies with fleet GPS. QuoteNest is the first platform that feels like it was actually designed for solo owner-operators."
"I am not a tech person at all. Other software completely overwhelmed me with all the complicated menus and setups. QuoteNest took me 2 minutes to figure out."
"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 lawn care quoting to QuoteNest.
Why are solo carpet cleaners, house cleaners, and handymen switching from Workiz to QuoteNest?
Workiz is engineered for multi-truck operations with office call centers (junk removal, locksmiths, HVAC), costing $45 to $225+/month before telephony add-ons. Solo operators switch to QuoteNest to get 30-second mobile quoting, 1-Tap Native SMS from their own phone number, WhatsApp proposals, and automated repeat rebooking for a flat $12/month.
Do I need to pay for a virtual phone add-on in QuoteNest?
No. QuoteNest's 1-Tap Native SMS uses your phone's built-in Messages app so quotes and invoices come directly from your real phone number with 100% deliverability and $0 carrier fees—plus 200 automated WhatsApp messages/month are included in your $12/month plan.
How fast can I switch from Workiz to QuoteNest?
Under 3 minutes. There are no onboarding sales calls or contracts. Start your 14-day free trial with no credit card required and send your first quote immediately.
How do I price residential lawn mowing without undercharging?
Price based on square footage, obstacle complexity, and frequency. Standard 5,000–8,000 sq ft suburban lots typically range from $40–$60 per cut for weekly service. Bi-weekly cuts should always carry a 20–30% surcharge because taller grass takes longer to cut and causes more equipment wear. Always set a minimum call-out fee ($40–$45) so small yards remain profitable.
Should I quote lawn care per cut or monthly contract?
Offer both on your digital proposal. Present a per-cut rate ($50/cut) alongside a predictable flat monthly rate ($200/mo). Clients love fixed monthly billing because it fits their budget, and it gives you guaranteed predictable cash flow all season without chasing checks.
