Handymen
Fast estimates and same-day payment for handyman and general repair businesses — quote the job from the customer's driveway and get paid before you're back in the truck.
A Day in the Life of a Handyman Business
From a full job list to a same-day paid invoice — every step in the apps that ship today.
8:00 AM
Job List for the Day
The CrewGrid board lists 6 small jobs — a leaky faucet, a door repair, TV mounting, gutter cleaning — with addresses and priorities for the day.
9:20 AM
On-Site Estimate
At the first stop, the scope turns out bigger than expected. You build a quick BidForge estimate on the spot with materials and labor, and the customer signs on your phone before you start the extra work.
10:00 AM
Job Completed & Paid
Repair done. Before-and-after photos attach to the work order, and the TitanLedger invoice goes out with a PayGate link — the customer pays by card before you leave.
1:30 PM
Recurring Maintenance Client
A property manager's quarterly maintenance visit runs on a PayGate recurring plan; you check in, complete the punch list, and the invoice generates automatically.
4:00 PM
Next-Day Booking
A new lead books a slot directly through your BookSlot page for tomorrow; it lands on the same calendar as today's job list.
The apps in this day
Dispatch, estimates and on-site payment run on any paid tier; recurring billing and a booking page start on Team ($49/mo, 3 users).
What this replaces
A solo handyman today is often on a per-login mobile estimating app with no team pricing once they hire help:
- Joist Pro (1 login, no team pricing)$17/mo
Other tools: $17/mo per person — no shared CRM, and no documented way to add a second login under one plan. EternalEngine: $9.95/mo (Basic, solo) or $49/mo (Team, 3 users) — CRM, booking and invoicing shared across the team.
Basic at $9.95/mo already undercuts a solo Joist Pro subscription, and Team at $49/mo covers 3 people sharing one CRM once you hire your first helper — something a per-login tool has no published path to.
Why Handyman Businesses Choose EternalEngine
Quote to Paid Without Leaving the Job Site
Build the estimate, get the signature, and send the invoice from the same phone browser — no separate app for each step.
Estimate Templates You Reuse
Save a BidForge estimate as a template for common jobs — a door repair, a mount, a small drywall patch — and adjust it in seconds instead of rebuilding from scratch every time.
GPS-Verified Check-Ins Prove the Visit Happened
Every check-in is verified against the site address, within 500 m — a record you can point to if a customer disputes whether you showed up.

Handymen questions
Is this overkill for a one-person handyman business?
No — Free covers one user with the full CRM, 5 invoices and 5 estimates a month at no cost, and Basic at $9.95/mo removes the document limits. Most solo operators start on one of those two and move up only when they hire.
Can I reuse an estimate template for similar jobs?
Yes. Duplicate a past BidForge estimate, adjust the line items for the new job, and send it — faster than rebuilding common small-job estimates from scratch.
Does a customer need an app to pay me?
No. The PayGate link on the invoice opens in any mobile browser; the customer pays by card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or bank transfer without installing anything.
What happens when I hire my first helper?
Move from Basic ($9.95/mo, 1 user) to Team ($49/mo, 3 users), which adds seats, BookSlot scheduling and a shared calendar — your existing clients, estimates and invoices carry over on the same account.
