If it did that it would be perfect for me. I prefer using quickbooks online so I can use the program from any where like clearestimates. > > I do not like the estimating side of my business cause I am bad at it and I tend to be optimistic which causes me to short myself in the long run. I started using this product to help me with the process to get estimates out faster and to know I am giving a good estimate that doesn't short me. It has helped me in that aspect for sure. The customer service is superb. There is this little icon u click and send them a msg with your questions and they get back to you in a timely fashion. The nice thing is the msg comes back in the program and they also send me an email. So if I am in the field working I know they have responded with an answer when I get the email. I love how you can email the estimate right from clear estimates and the estimate looks very professional. You can customize the formal estimate to how ever you like. Also if you don't like the prices they give you, you can easily adjust them for that estimate per item. Or you can customize that item to show up every time with your adjustment in price on every estimate. The customization to the items and pricing is endless. I have had to add very few new items they have so much to chose from already. The program is easy to use. I could teach my 11 year old to use it if I needed to. I have had nothing but great success using there program. They also give u a free trial to use it first. Take the free trial and try it you won't be dispointed. I am surprised this program does not cost more. I have made up for its cost monthly in the more money I am making due to its estimates. Thank you clearestimates. ----- ### "My Clear estimate review." — 5.0/5 > **Arnold** | *February 9, 2017* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I like most about this software is being able to set up Parts \& Templates which makes putting together an estimate a lot faster which means you have more time to oversee your business. > > **Cons**: The thing I least like about this software is not being able to use it for insurance work. What I mean by that is some jobs I get may be from insurance companies and the estimate might call for dehumidifiers and fans board ups stuff like that. But I can get by with it. > > I've been using Clear estimates software for about 4 years and the Program is very compatible with other programs out there. What makes Clear estimate different is that it is user-friendly and the layout of the program is very professional. When I hand my estimate over to my customer it's very well laid out and detailed . What I like most about Clear estimate Besides it's layout it pretty much covers all the trades. But the best thing is that it's very affordable for contractors like me that runs a small business. ----- ### "Clear Estimates Limitations" — 2.0/5 > **Sarah** | *January 7, 2024* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is easy to use but useless as it is very inaccurate. > > **Cons**: Material costs are inaccurate and have not been updated. There are many common materials missing from the database and it would take a very long time to build your own database of materials. The program is also inconsistent. This program will not help you with accurate quotes. > > I wish it was accurate and reliable but it is not. ----- ### "Fast setup, Easy to use, great support" — 5.0/5 > **jarad** | *September 17, 2018* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Sign up, you online quickly and its super easy to setup and if you have a question you get an answer and you get it quick. > > **Cons**: could use some more localized things added as different regions have different things they do due to weather for example. > > I have used this software online with 5 different companies including my own its very easy to swap back and forth between companies. ----- ### "Worth every dollar\!\!\!" — 5.0/5 > **Chuck** | *April 14, 2017* | Construction > > **Pros**: Easy to learn. Professional looking reports. The ease of updates prices for material and labor. Customer support is spot on. And the software was created by remodelers that understand the struggle. They are always striving to make the software better. > > **Cons**: Some minor software updates could be done. A mobile version could also help a lot more small business. > > I used this software when it first came out. Now it has come a long way on appearance and functionality. As far as learning a new software, the curve was easy for me. If you are a small contractor this is a must for speed of quoting and accuracy. Also with the reports function you look as professional as the big guys. If you want to step up your company, get Clear Estimates\!\!\! ----- Page: 1 / 6\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ca/software/105539/clear-estimates?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ca/software/105539/clear-estimates) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | ----- ## Structured Data
