Send us an estimate from a carrier or a contractor. A PDF is preferred, but we can work with other formats too. We process it and review it by hand, then send you the ESX file. You choose how soon you need it, and you see the exact time before you submit.
Prices start at $20 a file. Every file is manually reviewed and processed.
Four steps from your end. There is no password to remember and nothing to install.
Enter your email address and the six-digit code we send you.
Choose your settings and how soon you need it. The due-by time is shown before you submit.
Every file is manually reviewed and processed. If we need something from you, we message you.
We email you when it is ready. Download it, or have it emailed to yourself.
The clock runs on business hours: 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM Eastern, Monday to Friday, skipping US federal holidays. Two examples:
One price per file. A faster turnaround costs more.
| Priority | Ready within | Per file | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| P3 | 8 business hours | $20 | Standard. |
| P2 | 4 business hours | $25 | Faster. |
| P1 | 2 business hours | $30 | Limited based on demand. If it is not available when you submit, message us and we will tell you where things stand. |
Several people at the same company can share one balance on a business account, and rates can be arranged for steady volume. Business email addresses are preferred. Message us after you sign up and we will set it up.
Payments are not switched on yet. Files are free while we finish setting up, and we will let account holders know before that changes.
Your estimate has personal information in it, so here is exactly how long we keep things.
Download your file, or email it to yourself, within the 10 days. Once a file has been deleted we have no copy to restore, so getting it again means sending the estimate in and having it processed again.
Only you, the other people on your business account, and our team can open your files.
PDFs are preferred, and other formats are welcome.
A PDF has clean, consistent text and needs the least extra work to read, so it is the fastest and most accurate way to send an estimate. PDFs are processed at the times and prices above.
Photos, scans, photocopies and other formats can be handled too. They are harder to read, which slows processing and can cost more, so the more legible the better. We tell you before we start. Message us to arrange it.
Line items that have no clear match in the price list are entered as miscellaneous items rather than left out.
It counts business hours from the moment you submit: 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM Eastern, Monday to Friday, skipping US federal holidays. The upload form shows the exact date and time for each priority before you choose.
Yes. Every file is manually reviewed and processed by us before it is delivered. That is why there are set turnaround times instead of an instant download.
It is stored on our server behind your login while we work on your file, and it is deleted when your finished ESX is released to you.
For 10 days after it is released. After that the ESX is deleted and the entry on your files page shows as expired. We keep no copy to restore, so if you need the file again the estimate has to be processed again. You can email the file to yourself from your files page to keep it.
You pay by adding funds to your balance in steps of $20. When you upload an estimate, the starting price for the priority you chose is set aside from your balance, and you are charged when your file is complete and released to you. If your estimate has more than 200 line items, the extra lines are added at that point. If we cannot produce a file, the amount set aside goes back to your balance.
You will not be left waiting. We message you, and if we cannot produce a file you are not charged.
Choose P2 or P1 on the upload form. P1 is limited based on demand, so it is sometimes unavailable. If it is not offered when you submit, message us from your account and we will tell you where things stand.
Yes. Once you are signed in there is a Messages section on your files page. Write to us there and we will reply in the same place; we also send you an email when there is a reply.
Yes, with a business account that shares one balance. It is meant for people at the same company, not for sharing between separate businesses.
