The problem

Solo contractors price jobs in their head between site visits, then lose evenings rebuilding those numbers into paperwork.

What it is

A bilingual (English and Spanish) estimating app for contractors. You describe the job by voice or in writing; it lists the work and prices it from your own saved prices, never AI-chosen ones.

Describe the job once. The app lists the work it heard, you check it, and every dollar comes from your own price list. Customers approve from a simple link, and what they approve is locked. Extra work goes through a change order the customer approves before it is done, and the invoice is built from what was approved.

What you can do today

  • See how it works: the TalkEstimate site walks through record, review, price and send, in English and Spanish. See how it works
  • Customers approve an estimate on talkestimate.com/p/. That page only opens from a link a contractor sends, so on its own it shows a "link isn't available" message. Customer approval page

Not available today: a download, a pilot slot or an iPhone version.

Where it stands

Early access, private testing. TalkEstimate is in private testing on Android and is not available in any app store yet. A small pilot with a few contractors is planned once testing finishes; there is no public sign-up date. The waitlist on talkestimate.com is open.

Honest limits

  • Not available in any app store, and no public download. Private testing is on Android only.
  • A small pilot with a few contractors is planned once testing finishes. There is no public sign-up date, and nobody is being invited yet.
  • No iPhone version is announced.
  • Phone testing can show that the flow and the math work. It cannot show whether a contractor finds it worth switching to.
