Why handyman quotes are hard to get right
Handyman work is many small jobs on one visit, and each one is easy to underprice: a trip to the store, a second coat, a part that is not in stock. Writing it all up line by line takes longer than some of the jobs.
With Arez you read the list out once. Each task gets its own lines with labor in hours at your rate, materials and your markup, so the client sees what they are paying for and you see that every task pays.
What it does
Everything a small contractor needs, in one app
AI estimates in less than 1 minute
Describe the job by voice or text, send a photo, or upload plans. Arez writes an itemized estimate with materials, labor hours and your markup.
Your prices, not a generic book
Save your labor rates and markup once. Correct a material price and Arez uses your number on the next job.
Proposals clients sign on their phone
Turn the estimate into a branded proposal with your payment schedule. The client reviews and e-signs it from a link.
Invoices with online payment
Invoice from the job, with deposits and milestones. Clients pay online by card or bank transfer.
Receipts and job costs
Snap or share a receipt and Arez reads the vendor and total. Receipts and crew labor land on the job next to the estimate.
English and Spanish
Use the app in English or Spanish, talk to it in either, and send each proposal in the language your client reads.

This table describes each kind of tool in general; features and plans change, so check each product before you buy. If you run large commercial projects with a dedicated office staff, a construction suite is built for that. If your business is mostly recurring service visits and dispatch, a field service app fits better. Arez is for the contractor who wants the estimate written for them and the job run from a phone.
