Bring an extra cleaner to help on large weekend office turnovers without paying Housecall Pro's $35/mo per-user penalty.
Digital Contract Acceptance
Office and property managers review your scope, see the monthly fee, and approve digitally right from their phone or laptop.
1-Tap WhatsApp & Email Sharing
Dispatch your branded commercial proposal directly to the facility manager via WhatsApp or email.

"I used to spend 15 minutes setting up estimates on my laptop at night. Now I build the quote and send it via WhatsApp before I even leave the customer's driveway."
"Most contractor software is built for 15-person companies with fleet GPS. QuoteNest is the first platform that feels like it was actually designed for solo owner-operators."
"I am not a tech person at all. Other software completely overwhelmed me with all the complicated menus and setups. QuoteNest took me 2 minutes to figure out."
"Sending professional proposals directly to my client's WhatsApp is incredible. Clients tap the link, hit approve, and I get paid the same day instead of waiting for emails to be opened."

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about switching your office cleaning quoting to QuoteNest.
Is Housecall Pro worth it for a solo contractor?
For a solo contractor doing residential cleaning, pressure washing, or window cleaning, Housecall Pro is typically massive overkill. Paying $79 to $229/month for fleet dispatching tools eats into your profits. QuoteNest gives you fast mobile quotes, instant WhatsApp proposals, and automated rebooking reminders for just $12/month.
How much do I save switching from Housecall Pro to QuoteNest?
Housecall Pro costs between $948 and $2,748 per year. QuoteNest costs $144 per year flat. A solo contractor saves over $800 to $2,500 every single year while gaining a faster 30-second mobile quoting workflow.
How do clients approve quotes sent through QuoteNest?
When you tap Send via WhatsApp, your client receives a secure, branded web link. They tap the link on their phone, review your itemized service options, and tap Accept with a single click. You receive instant notification so you can schedule the job.
How do I price a commercial office cleaning contract?
Most pros price commercial jobs at $0.10–$0.15 per square foot per visit. A 3,000 sq ft office cleaned weekly runs roughly $300–$450 per month. Restroom detailing, floor care, and breakroom service are add-ons. The real money is in the recurring contract — one office at $400/month is $4,800/year of locked-in revenue.
How do I compete with big janitorial companies for office contracts?
You compete on reliability and personal accountability. Office managers are tired of big companies sending a different crew every week. As a solo operator, YOU show up every time. That consistency is your selling point. But your quote has to look just as professional as theirs — that's where most solo operators lose the deal.
