Quick answer: tradesman estimating software

QuoteNovo is Windows desktop estimating and invoicing software for skilled tradesmen across plumbing, electrical, HVAC, drywall, masonry, tile, carpentry, and painting. Each trade uses it to build line-item estimates that separate parts and labor — the way each trade naturally prices work — generate professional PDF proposals for homeowners and commercial clients, and convert approved estimates to invoices. It costs $265 as a one-time purchase with 3 licenses. It does not include scheduling, dispatching, or payroll.

What your client receives

QuoteNovo helps contractors turn estimate details into a clean, customer-facing PDF proposal with line items, pricing, project information, and totals.

Skilled tradesmen face a specific estimating challenge that general contractor software often does not address well: each trade has its own cost structure. A plumber prices pipe, fittings, valves, fixtures, and installation labor as separate entries. An electrician separates wire by type, conduit, breakers, devices, and labor hours. An HVAC technician itemizes equipment, refrigerant, ductwork, and installation. A drywall contractor lists board, joint compound, tape, screws, and labor by phase. A tile setter separates tile material, grout, thinset, backer board, and labor by surface type. A mason breaks out block, mortar, and labor for different wall types. QuoteNovo supports this structure - any line item a trade needs can be entered with its own description, quantity, and price. The service library stores your most commonly quoted trade packages so recurring jobs assemble quickly. Estimates export as professional PDFs that homeowners and commercial clients expect before approving trade work.

Where skilled trade estimates require more precision than a generic contractor tool provides

  • Skilled tradesmen spend time on estimates that could be on the job - a fast, structured tool reduces estimate time significantly
  • Clients expect a professional written estimate from a licensed tradesman, not a hand-scrawled quote
  • Tradesmen who don't own their estimating software pay rental fees forever on a basic workflow
  • Enterprise contractor software is too complex for a tradesman who primarily needs estimates and invoices

How QuoteNovo fits the skilled trade estimating workflow

  • Works for any skilled trade - plumbing, electrical, HVAC, carpentry, tile, masonry, and more
  • Separate material and labor line items match the way tradesmen naturally think about job costs
  • Professional PDF proposals give clients the documentation they expect from a licensed trade professional
  • Reusable service library reduces estimate time for recurring trade jobs

Example use case

An HVAC technician quotes a residential system replacement. He opens QuoteNovo, adds line items for the new condenser unit, air handler, refrigerant, electrical disconnect, concrete pad, and installation labor as separate entries. He generates the PDF and emails it to the homeowner for approval before scheduling the install. The homeowner approves the proposal the same day. After the job is complete, the technician converts the estimate to an invoice in two clicks and emails it for payment.

What QuoteNovo does not cover

QuoteNovo is not full accounting software. It does not include payroll, bank feeds, tax filing, bank reconciliation, or deep bookkeeping reports. Businesses that need those capabilities should use QuickBooks or dedicated accounting software alongside or instead of QuoteNovo.

QuoteNovo is not the right fit if you need:

  • Tradesmen who need scheduling, field dispatching, or crew management tools
  • Businesses requiring mobile quoting or cloud-based access
  • Operations that need payroll, tax filing, or full accounting software

Frequently Asked Questions

Have a question not answered here? admin@quotenovo.com

Yes. QuoteNovo is used by plumbers, electricians, HVAC technicians, carpenters, tile contractors, masons, and other skilled tradesmen. The line-item estimate format works for any trade because each trade has its own mix of materials and labor that needs to be captured separately in a written proposal. A plumber lists pipe, fittings, labor, and fixture costs as separate entries. An electrician separates wire, conduit, fixtures, and panel work. You are not forced into a generic template - the line items reflect how your specific trade actually prices work. The reusable service library lets you save your most common trade packages so you are not rebuilding estimates from scratch on every job.
Yes. Each line item is individually entered, so you can list every material and every labor component separately on the same estimate. This separation matters for client communication: homeowners and commercial clients want to understand what they are paying for parts versus what they are paying for installation labor. Separating parts and labor also protects you if a client questions a charge after the job - every cost was documented and visible in the proposal they approved before work began. For service calls where the scope changes during the visit, you can add line items for parts discovered during the service and label them clearly so the client understands what each charge represents.
No. QuoteNovo focuses on estimating and invoicing only. It does not include scheduling, dispatch tools, service call routing, or technician management. If your operation involves coordinating multiple field technicians, assigning service calls in real time, or managing a technician calendar, you would need a separate field service management application for those functions. QuoteNovo is best used at the office or shop as the tool for building estimates before a job starts and converting approved jobs to invoices after work is completed.
No. QuoteNovo is a one-time $265 purchase with 3 Windows licenses and no recurring fees. For a skilled tradesman who works from a home office or shop PC, a one-time software cost is more predictable than a monthly subscription that bills regardless of whether it was a busy month or a slow one. Three licenses are included per purchase, so if you have a shop machine, an office computer, or need a second install at home, the same purchase covers up to three Windows machines. There are no annual renewals, no plan tiers, and no per-estimate fees.
