For contractors & the trades
Signed quote to funded deposit in one afternoon.
Bid the job, collect a signed acceptance, and fund the deposit before you order a dollar of materials — all from one link.
Three moves, one job, no float.
The stretch between winning the work and getting the deposit is where jobs stall. QuoteHQ closes it in an afternoon.
- 01
Bid the job
Build the quote from your line items — labor, materials, allowances. Send a clean, branded proposal your client reads on a phone, change orders and all.
- 02
Get it signed
The client signs the acceptance in the browser. You get an ESIGN-compliant, sealed PDF — the scope everyone agreed to, on the record before a shovel moves.
- 03
Fund the deposit
The deposit invoice fires the moment it's signed. Card or bank transfer clears it, so materials come out of the client's money, not your float.
The end of processing fees
Stop paying to get paid.
Every quote and deposit invoice goes out with two prices, computed automatically — one for card, one for bank transfer. On a five-figure job the card fee is real money, and most contractors quietly eat it. Not here: the client who taps a card covers the processing cost inside the card price, a bank transfer carries none, and you collect the full deposit you quoted either way.

Questions from the trades.
What does QuoteHQ cost for a contracting business?
Per-seat, billed monthly: Core at $29, Pro at $79, and Agency at $149 per user, per month, each with a 14-day free trial and no card required to start. Add a seat per estimator or project manager who sends quotes. There's no separate monthly fee to accept card or bank payments.
Will it sync jobs and payments to QuickBooks?
Yes — push-only to QuickBooks Online for US businesses. Each job invoice, the deposit and progress payments against it, and the processor fees post automatically and land categorized, so your job costing and your books agree. An import wizard brings your existing customers and items over when you connect.
Does a signed quote hold up as an acceptance?
It's built to the U.S. ESIGN Act. When the client signs the quote, QuoteHQ captures consent, name, IP address, browser, and a timestamp, then seals the accepted scope to a tamper-evident PDF fingerprinted with a SHA-256 hash and keeps it archived — the record you want if a change order is ever disputed.
Who pays the card fee on a big deposit?
You don't. Every deposit invoice offers a card price — computed automatically — and a bank-transfer price. The client who pays by card covers the processing cost inside the card price; a bank transfer (ACH) carries no card fee at all. On a five-figure deposit that difference is real money, and it stays with you either way.
Is my customer and job data mine to keep?
Yes. QuoteHQ acts as your processor for the customer records you enter — we never sell personal information and never train general-purpose AI models on your data. Every signed quote and change order is retained and downloadable as a sealed PDF, so your paper trail stays yours.
