Estimates and invoices for handymen who do five jobs a day

Handyman work is a lot of small jobs: a leaky faucet at nine, a door that sticks at eleven, gutters in the afternoon. Each one is too small to justify an evening of paperwork and too important to forget to bill. StackedWork is set up so each job takes about a minute to log and a minute to invoice.

Log the job in one sentence

Between stops, open StackedWork and say what the job is: “Dana Price, 44 Elm Street, gutter cleaning, Saturday, two fifty.” The customer, address, job type, date, and price are filled in for you to check before saving. Typing the same sentence works too, which is handy in a loud basement or a browser that blocks the microphone.

Your jobs list then shows the day at a glance: what is scheduled, what is done, and what still needs a price.

Quote the way you actually charge

Small jobs are priced in different ways, and StackedWork's estimate line items handle the common ones. Charge by the hour, by the day, as a flat-rate job, or per item, and add materials as their own lines.

Hourly labor: “3 hours” at your rate.
Flat-rate jobs: “1 job” for a fixed price, such as a faucet swap.
Per-item work: “4 each” for outlets, blinds, or smoke detectors.
Materials: bags, gallons, linear ft, or sq ft.

Send a quote before you leave the driveway

For bigger asks, like a list of repairs before a home sale, write the estimate on the spot and send it as a link. The customer gets a clean page with each line and the total, which they can print or save as a PDF. Mark it accepted when they say go.

For the many jobs that are agreed on the spot, skip the estimate and go straight to the invoice when you finish.

Bill the same day

The habit that keeps a handyman business healthy is invoicing before the next job, not on Sunday night. In StackedWork, an accepted estimate becomes an invoice with one tap, and a job without an estimate can get its own invoice in a minute. Invoices are numbered for you and default to a Net 15 due date.

Send the invoice link by text. Your customer sees the amount due and the due date on their phone.

Keep track of who has paid

StackedWork does not process payments, so customers pay you however you already take payment. Mark each invoice paid when the money comes in, and anything past its due date is flagged as overdue. With many small invoices out at once, that list is what stops a $95 job from slipping through the cracks.

Try it on this week's jobs

StackedWork has a 30-day free trial with no credit card. Log this week's jobs, send a few invoices, and see if it saves you the evening paperwork. After 30 days it is $49.99 per month if you add a card; otherwise the trial simply ends.

It works in the browser on your phone, so there is nothing to install. The app is in English.
