InstaBid โ€” The Contractor's Secret Weapon | Around The House

Stop Losing Jobs To Slow Estimates

After 30 years in the trades and a million conversations with contractors on this show, we got tired of watching good contractors lose bids they deserved to win โ€” just because they couldn't get a quote out fast enough. So we built something about it.

Your Customer
Wants A Quote Now.
Not Tomorrow.

Most homeowners get estimates from 3 contractors. The first one to respond wins the job 70% of the time. Not the cheapest. Not the most experienced. The fastest.

InstaBid puts an instant quote calculator on your website. A homeowner fills it out at 11pm on a Sunday โ€” and gets a professional, branded estimate before you even wake up. You wake up to a lead that's already sold.

Contractors Are Talking

"An 11-year GC posted on Reddit: Just cost myself $13,000 with estimating mistake โ€” manually calculating roof framing labor in a spreadsheet, missed a chunk in the formula. One bad cell. $13,000 gone."

โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…

"A Portland contractor reached out to Eric last week. Hit the pain point directly : 'I wish there was something that could quote jobs instantly โ€” no lag, no lift, simple to navigate.' Eric's response: 'Great timing. Guess what we just built."

โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…

"The material list feature alone is worth it. Used to take me an hour to put together an estimate. Now it's done before the customer even calls me back. Not to mention the shopping hours saved or multiple trips because something was forgotten"
