Some jobs are simply hard to quote over the phone. A customer wants a price, but you cannot give a real one until you see the work. So begins the back and forth: a few texts, a couple of blurry photos, a phone call, maybe a visit. Days pass, and the customer who wanted a fast answer has often already moved on. Photo Quotes was built to close that gap. Your customer sends clear pictures of the job, answers a few quick questions, and arrives in your CRM as a complete, ready-to-price lead.
A Cleaner Contact Form, Better Leads
Photo Quotes also takes pressure off your contact form. Today, a lot of those messages are really quote requests in disguise: someone describes a job in a sentence or two, you reply asking for photos, and the slow back and forth begins. By giving customers a dedicated path to send pictures up front, you route the people who actually want a price into a faster, purpose-built flow.
That leaves your contact form for genuine questions, and it pulls your most motivated potential customers straight into quoting. The result is fewer vague inquiries to chase and more ready-to-price leads that move quickly toward a booked job.
The Problem With Quoting From a Distance
Customers expect a number, and they expect it quickly. But you cannot quote what you cannot see. That tension is where jobs get lost. You play phone tag, you ask for photos that never come, or you drive out to a site for a job that was never going to book. The customer gets impatient, you spend time you do not have, and the quote that should have taken minutes turns into a week-long chase.
Photo Quotes removes the chase. It gives your customer a guided way to show you the job, and it gives you everything you need to price it, all in one place.
How Photo Quotes Works
The whole flow is designed to be effortless for the customer and complete for you. Here is what they experience, step by step.
Step 1: They Start Their Quote
From your website, a customer taps to start a photo quote and enters their basic contact details. No account to create, no app to download.
Step 2: A Quick Verification
Before anything else, we confirm the customer is real with a one-time code sent to their email. This keeps bots and junk submissions out, so the leads that reach you are genuine people who actually want a quote.
Step 3: Guided Photos and a Few Questions
The customer answers a short set of questions about the job, then is walked through taking the photos you need. On a phone, a guided camera prompts each shot one at a time so nothing important gets missed, and they can add optional close-ups of anything they want you to see.
Step 4: They Submit and Get an Instant Confirmation
One tap to submit. The customer immediately sees that their photos were received and that a quote is on the way, so they are never left wondering whether it went through.
Step 5: You Get a Complete Lead in Your CRM
Everything lands in your CRM as a new lead: the customer's details, their answers, and every photo, organized and ready to review. No digging through text threads or email attachments to piece the job together.
Step 6: Turn It Into an Estimate in One Click
When you are ready to price it, create an estimate straight from the submission without re-entering a thing. The customer's details carry over, and you send a professional quote back the same day.
Built for Any Industry
Photo Quotes is not tied to one type of business. The questions and the photo angles adapt to what you do, so it works anywhere a picture tells the story:
- Automotive: window tint, vehicle wraps, paint protection film, ceramic coating, detailing
- Home services: roofing, painting, fencing, decks, remodels, flooring
- Outdoor: landscaping, tree work, pressure washing, pools
- Repair and trades: appliance repair, auto body, HVAC, handyman work
A roofer sees the roof. A painter sees the rooms. A tint shop sees the vehicle. It is the same effortless flow for the customer and the same complete, ready-to-price lead for you. Wherever a photo can answer the question “what does this job involve,” Photo Quotes turns it into a quote.
