Garage door work is two businesses running at once: high-ticket installation sales that are won on options and visuals, and emergency repair calls that are won on speed. QuoteIQ runs both from one app — tiered estimates, satellite property assessment, 4K job documentation, real-time job costing, parts inventory, and 24/7 AI call answering — starting at $29.99/month.
QuoteIQ is the best CRM for garage door installation businesses in 2026. It is the only platform in its price band that combines Good/Better/Best door pricing, satellite property assessment through MapMeasure Pro, 4K photo and inspection documentation through QuoteIQ Cam, spring-and-opener inventory tracking, real-time job costing, and a 24/7 AI phone team in a single subscription. Plans run $29.99 to $699 per month, every plan includes AI, and the Max plan carries unlimited users at one flat rate.
TL;DR: Garage door companies lose money in three places — quotes that go out too slowly, premium doors that never get offered, and jobs whose true margin nobody ever calculates. QuoteIQ closes all three. AI Estimator turns photos into market-accurate line items, Options Estimates put steel, insulated, and carriage-house tiers on one document, Before & After AI shows the homeowner the finished door, Job Costing subtracts labor and parts automatically, and Virtual Call Team answers the 6 a.m. broken-spring call. Every install still has to meet ANSI/DASMA product standards and CPSC entrapment-protection rules — so documentation is not optional, and Inspection Forms plus E-Signatures make it automatic. See all five plans.
Garage door businesses operate differently from every other home service trade, and the software you run should reflect that. Your revenue comes from two workflows that barely resemble each other. Installation sales are high-ticket, visual, and comparison-driven — a homeowner spending several thousand dollars on curb appeal wants to see choices, materials, and what the finished opening will actually look like. Repair calls are the opposite: urgent, parts-dependent, and won by whoever picks up the phone first. Generic field service software treats both as one undifferentiated “job” and forces you into workarounds that quietly cost you margin.
QuoteIQ’s garage door software was built around that split. The same platform that produces a three-tier carriage-house proposal on a Tuesday afternoon also answers a broken-spring call at 6 a.m., pulls the customer’s history, and puts the job on a route that does not waste an hour of drive time. That is the whole argument for a trade-fit CRM instead of a general one.
A typical installation sale runs through eight distinct stages: intake, property assessment, opening measurement, multi-option pricing, estimate delivery, scheduling around material lead times, documented installation, and post-job payment plus review capture. Most contractors cover those eight stages with four or five disconnected tools — a quoting app, a photo app, a scheduling calendar, an accounting package, and a texting service. Every handoff between those tools is a place where a job stalls, a photo goes missing, or a follow-up never fires.
The measurable cost is not the software bill. It is the deals that die between the apps. A homeowner who does not get an estimate the same day calls someone else. A spring replacement with no before-photo becomes a warranty argument you cannot win. An installation whose parts cost nobody logged looks profitable on the invoice and is not. QuoteIQ collapses those eight stages into one record on one customer profile, which is why it consistently replaces four subscriptions rather than one.
Garage door systems are safety-regulated products. Residential opener entrapment protection is mandated under federal rule, and the CPSC’s automatic residential garage door operator standard incorporates revisions to ANSI/CAN/UL 325 directly into enforceable regulation. Counterbalance systems, section interfaces, and wind load all carry their own ANSI/DASMA standards. When a homeowner disputes a spring failure or an insurer asks what condition the opening was in on arrival, photo evidence and a signed inspection form are the difference between a paid claim and an absorbed loss.
The single highest-leverage change most garage door companies can make is not a new lead source. It is presenting more than one number. A homeowner who calls about a dented steel door usually has no idea that insulated construction, upgraded hardware, a quieter belt-drive opener, or a carriage-house style are even available at their budget. If your estimate contains one price, you have made the decision for them — downward.
QuoteIQ ships four estimate types, and garage door companies use all four in a normal week. Standard Estimates handle full installations with itemized panels, track, hardware, and labor. Options Estimates stack Good/Better/Best tiers on one page. Package Estimates bundle door plus opener plus weatherstripping plus smart-home integration into a single headline number. Quick Estimates exist for the spring replacement or roller swap that needs a price in ninety seconds, not a proposal.
Standard, Quick, Options, and Package — all available on every plan from Essentials at $29.99/month, with photos, notes, terms and conditions, license number on the PDF, deposit requirements, markup and discount controls, real-time totals, and one-tap conversion to an invoice. Line-item prices can be hidden individually or all at once when you want the customer looking at the outcome instead of the parts list.
Four things, in this order. First, speed — the quote that arrives first anchors the comparison. Second, visual proof that you understand the property, which is what an attached satellite screenshot or a photo of the existing opening provides. Third, a tier structure that makes the middle option feel reasonable. Fourth, a frictionless yes: E-Signatures let the homeowner approve from their phone without printing anything, and are available from Essentials up.
Estimates carry sub-items and a parent-child line hierarchy, so a “Double Door Installation” parent line can hold panels, track, springs, cables, and an opener underneath it without cluttering the customer view. A Materials section links line items straight to your inventory products so pricing stays current when your supplier raises panel costs. Draft mode with continuous autosave means an estimate half-built in a customer’s driveway survives a dead phone battery. Estimate templates let you save your standard 16×7 double-door build once and reuse it forever, and expiration dates stop a six-month-old quote from being honored at last spring’s steel prices.
You can also attach the paperwork that garage door work generates. Contract attachments put warranty documents, permits, manufacturer specs, and insurance certificates on the same record as the estimate. That matters when a job is inspected against the adopted building code — the International Residential Code requires automatic openers to be listed and labeled to UL 325, and being able to produce the listing document on demand shortens a lot of conversations.
For larger residential installations and commercial bids, an estimate can go out as a full branded proposal — company story, service descriptions, a photo gallery of comparable installs, supporting documents, and customer reviews in one document. You preview it before sending and can save the whole thing as a template. Proposals are available on every plan and consume 100 IQ Credits per send, with sends free on trial, Elite, and Max. If you would rather simply rename your existing estimates, a separate Custom Document Label setting relabels them company-wide as “Estimate,” “Proposal,” or “Quote” without changing the document type.
Drive time is the most under-measured cost in a garage door operation. A 45-minute round trip to look at an opening you could have assessed from your office is not free — it is an hour of a technician’s clocked time plus fuel plus the job you did not run instead. Federal labor data on construction trades makes the arithmetic simple: whatever your loaded hourly cost is, every avoidable truck roll costs you at least one of them.
MapMeasure Pro puts satellite measurement inside estimate creation. You measure the driveway approach, check the opening from above, and draw complex shapes when a property is not a simple rectangle. Measurements save to the customer profile and export into the quote, and screenshots attach to the estimate as visual proof of measured scope. New in 2026, a historical imagery timeline lets you scroll back through years of aerial photos of the same property — useful when a homeowner insists the existing door is “only a couple of years old.”
Ground-level imagery of the existing door: panel style, window inserts, condition, trim, and the approach a crew will actually be working in. Available from the Beginner plan up.
Property data in one tap so you know the home’s value band before you decide which door tiers to lead with. Also Beginner and above.
Automated measurement with a saved Measurement Library, on every plan. Metered at 100 IQ Credits per AutoMeasure run, with the credit cost shown before it runs.
The practical workflow is short. A lead arrives through a website contact request form, lands in your customer database, and you pull the address up in MapMeasure Pro before anyone touches a truck key. Within a few minutes you know the opening type, the approach, and the neighborhood, and you can send an Options Estimate that is specific enough to be credible. Site visits become something you do for confirmed jobs and complicated openings, not for tire-kickers.
Most software marketing treats “AI” as one undifferentiated feature. QuoteIQ ships several distinct tools that do genuinely different jobs, and knowing which is which changes how you use them. All of them run on IQ Credits, which are included with every plan — 500 per month on Essentials, 1,500 on Beginner, 3,000 on Pro, 5,000 on Elite, and 8,000 on Max — and every AI action shows its credit cost and asks for confirmation before it runs, so there are no surprise draws.
AI Autopilot gives you conversational control of the whole CRM by voice or text across 55 integrated tools in 13 categories. “Move all of today’s jobs to Friday and text every customer” is a real command, and so is “Invoice all of today’s completed jobs and send them.” Inside the app the interface is labeled Ask AI; it is the same feature.
AI Estimator analyzes property photos, asks targeted follow-up questions, and generates market-accurate line-item pricing for your local area. Used once per new estimate, and available on every plan including Essentials.
AI CoPilot lives inside estimate and invoice creation: add services, set discounts, change tax, add deposits, mark items additional, or draft a client message, through quick-action cards or free-form chat in Auto Accept or Review mode.
This is the tool that changes garage door close rates, because this trade sells curb appeal and curb appeal is impossible to describe in words. Your technician photographs the existing door on site. Before & After AI generates a realistic preview of the proposed door on that actual house in roughly fifteen to twenty seconds, and the image attaches to any estimate type or invoice. A homeowner who can see a carriage-house door on their own home makes a different decision than one reading the words “carriage house” on a line item. Each regeneration consumes credits again, so it is worth getting the input photo right the first time.
A homeowner books an assessment for a faded, dented steel double door. Your tech photographs it, runs Before & After AI to render an insulated carriage-house option on the actual house, and presents an Options Estimate with three tiers alongside the rendering. The customer approves from their phone with an E-Signature, the deposit is collected through online payments, and the job lands on the calendar before the tech leaves the driveway. Nothing in that sequence required a second app.
Garage door emergencies do not respect business hours. A snapped torsion spring traps a car before work; a door stuck open at midnight is a security problem the homeowner will not sleep on. Those calls go to whoever answers, and if your crew is on a roof of a job site at 10 a.m., that is not you.
Virtual Call Team is an AI phone team that answers inbound calls 24/7, qualifies the lead, filters spam, and works from a knowledge base and agent voice you configure yourself. Every call is recorded and transcribed, and you get a call summary and a notification. It also places outbound calls and runs automated and simultaneous call campaigns — useful for a spring-maintenance push or a seasonal weatherstripping offer. It is metered at 125 IQ Credits per minute, which means it is minute-limited at lower tiers by the credit allocation itself; heavy after-hours volume belongs on Elite or Max. One honest limitation worth knowing before you buy: it captures and qualifies the call, but it does not put the appointment on your calendar for you. A human still converts that lead into a scheduled visit.
Rounding out the stack, AI Text Generator writes professional messages one tap at a time inside ClientHub and text fields throughout the app, Auto Complete suggests field content as you type, and AI Smart Import maps a CSV export from almost any other CRM into QuoteIQ automatically. Ask AI Reports and the IQ Terminal, added in July 2026, let you interrogate your own numbers conversationally instead of building a report.
Broken springs, frayed cables, bent track, delaminated panels, and misaligned photo-eye sensors are all conditions that existed before you arrived — and all conditions a homeowner may later believe you caused. This is the trade where documentation pays for the software.
QuoteIQ Cam, available from the Beginner plan up, handles in-app capture or camera-roll upload, organized by job and by date. It supports unlimited 4K photo and video cloud storage, annotations for marking damage and safety concerns directly on the image, before/after comparisons, and a permanent customer documentation archive on the contact record. Custom Inspection Forms turn a spring assessment or a UL 325 sensor check into a repeatable template with customizable PDF sections, and job reports leave the homeowner with a complete record of what was inspected and replaced.
No per-photo charge, no phone storage anxiety, and no separate photo-documentation subscription to maintain. Photos attach to estimates and invoices, populate a customer-facing gallery, and feed the Before & After Photo Editor that produces the side-by-side images your marketing runs on.
Compliance documentation deserves its own habit. The DASMA technical data sheets cover installation details, wind load labeling, and standard-lift configurations that inspectors reference, and UL 325 entrapment protection is the standard a residential opener has to be listed to. Building a two-minute inspection form that captures sensor alignment, reversal test, counterbalance condition, and manual release function — photographed, signed, and filed against the job — converts a legal exposure into a sales asset. It also gives you something concrete to show at the next maintenance visit.
Garage door installations carry heavier material content than almost any other residential service call: panels, torsion or extension springs, cables, drums, rollers, track, hinges, brackets, weatherstripping, an opener, sometimes structural reinforcement. If nobody subtracts those costs from the invoice, the job looks profitable on paper and quietly is not.
Job Costing, on Pro and above, does the arithmetic automatically. Each job gets a Report tab showing Total Price minus Labor minus Expenses equals Profit, with a profit-margin bar. Labor pulls straight from Time Tracker Pro — hourly rate multiplied by clocked hours, no manual entry — and Expense Tracking links receipts and material purchases to the specific job. After two months you know which door lines, which crews, and which job types actually make money, which is a very different conversation than knowing your revenue.
The full margin equation runs per job, not per month. Pair it with the Business Calculators and the Hourly Rate Calculator to set a defensible labor rate first, then use Business Analytics to see revenue by service, customer, and crew alongside conversion rate and average ticket. More cost tools live in the home service business calculator library.
Invoicing is on every plan and converts from an estimate or a job in one tap. Deposits and partial payments matter here, because a custom door order ties up your cash for weeks before installation. You can set Net 15, 30, 60, or 90 terms for builder and property-management accounts, run automated payment reminders on your own timing, take tips at online checkout, and collect an e-signature on the invoice itself. Reusable invoice templates and expiration dates arrived in 2026, and Invoice Subscriptions handle recurring maintenance agreements with full discount, tax, fee, and deposit math.
Your customers pay by credit or debit card, ACH bank transfer, Apple Pay, or Google Pay online, and cash or check is recorded manually in the app. Online customer payments run through the QuoteIQ Payments Service, which is Whop-powered for new subscribers. Checkout is embedded on the page rather than bouncing the customer to a third-party redirect, cards on file appear on the customer profile, and there is a full audit trail. Online Payments covers the mechanics in detail.
Consumer Financing is on every plan, including during the trial, and it is the quietest revenue lever in this trade. Affirm covers up to $30,000 per job over 3 to 36 months, Klarna offers Pay-in-4 and Pay-in-30, and Afterpay handles Pay-in-4 to roughly $4,000. The homeowner applies at checkout in about thirty seconds and gets an instant decision; you are paid in full upfront and the provider owns collections and default risk. On a $4,000 insulated carriage-house install, a monthly payment is a materially easier conversation than a four-figure invoice.
On the accounting side, QuickBooks Online is the supported accounting integration and syncs invoices, payments, customers, and expense categories from the Pro plan up, with duplicate-sync locks and automatic customer creation before an estimate syncs. Everything is exportable at any time through Export Data on every plan — your data stays yours. For tax planning on trucks, lifts, and equipment, the IRS depreciation rules in Publication 946 are the authority; the Section 179 expensing limit for tax years beginning in 2025 is $2,500,000.
Very few field service platforms in this price range track parts at all, and garage door companies are exactly the trade that needs it. A truck that arrives without the right torsion spring size costs you the callback, the drive, and often the customer. Inventory Management, on Elite and above, is built from five modules.
| Module | What it holds | Why garage door shops use it |
|---|---|---|
| Products | SKU, category, unit, cost, reorder point, In Stock / Low / Out indicators, cost and customer price with margin visible in the list | Spring wire sizes and lengths, opener models, panel styles, rollers, cables, hinges |
| Locations | Warehouse, individual trucks, job sites | Know which van is carrying the 2-inch drums before you send it to the call |
| Suppliers | Vendor records tied to products | Distributor lead times drive your install scheduling |
| Orders | Draft to Confirmed to Received; receiving auto-creates receipt transactions | Custom door orders tracked from PO to arrival |
| Transactions | Receipt, Returned, Issued, Damaged, Loss, Adjustment | A bent panel written off as Damaged stops corrupting your margin numbers |
One mechanic is worth stating precisely, because it is commonly misunderstood: stock deducts when the invoice is paid, not when the job is marked complete. A deposit does not count as paid, so stock does not move on a deposit unless you use the deduct option on that screen. If you plan around the wrong rule, your on-hand counts will drift. Materials on estimates and invoices link to inventory products so your pricing follows your actual cost, and inventory analytics show value, usage, and category views.
Scheduling is on every plan, with drag-and-drop across day, week, month, and employee-timeline views, color coding by status, and multi-day installs rendered as continuous events rather than fragments. Schedule Later creates a job with no date so a custom door order can sit in the queue until the panels arrive — which is exactly how garage door work behaves. Individual occurrences of a recurring maintenance series can be dragged without disturbing the rest of the series, completed jobs show a green border and badge, and the calendar filters by employee and crew. A GEO-Schedule map view shows the day geographically on every plan. Google Calendar sync is two-way. On-The-Way texts fire from the Pro plan up, and reminders and tasks keep the callbacks from evaporating.
A vocabulary note that trips people up: as of the August 2026 release, what the app calls a job is the scheduled visit, and the older job records are now job forms. If you are reading older documentation, translate accordingly.
These are two different tools and mixing them up wastes both. Route Density shows you where your work clusters so you can plan the day’s zone; Route Optimization then sequences the stops inside that zone for minimum drive time, accounting for appointment windows and job duration, recalculating when an emergency spring call gets added at 11 a.m., and handing off to GPS navigation. Route Optimization typically cuts drive time by 15 to 30 percent. Both are Elite and above.
Assignment works at two levels, and it is worth knowing which one you need. Assigning an individual technician to a job is available from Pro up. Assigning an entire crew to a job is a Max capability. Combined with the live team map in EmployeeHub and the two routing tools above, that covers the visibility most shops are actually buying — who is on what, and where they are right now.
EmployeeHub is Elite and above. GPS Location Tracking shows a live team map while employees are clocked in, pauses on breaks, stops at clock-out, and verifies clock-in location — clocked-out employees never appear on any map, without exception. Time Tracker Pro handles GPS clock in and out, per-job hours, break counts and durations in reports and CSV, admin-only manual adjustments, and a full edit history. Team Communication covers one-on-one and group chats with job and event assignment, and roles and permissions received a full overhaul in 2026 with calendar permissions properly separated.
Two capabilities sit on Max specifically: Crews — creation, tracking, and scheduling with crew-level analytics and routing, which is how multi-truck install operations actually run — and the Sales Team Tracker with commission percentage per rep, conversion metrics, and year-to-date leaderboards. Max also carries unlimited user seats at a flat price and four additional businesses included, which matters if you run a garage door company and a separate gate or opener service entity through multi-business.
Two limitations to plan around: there is no automatic overtime calculation, and there is no native payroll. Hours export to whatever payroll system you already run. Federal wage data is a reasonable external benchmark when you are setting or defending your crew rates.
ClientHub, on Pro and above, gives your business a dedicated phone number with two-way calling and texting from inside QuoteIQ on phone, tablet, or computer. Every call and text saves to the customer profile, so the technician who takes the follow-up call in March can see the whole February conversation. Call routing and forwarding directs incoming calls by time of day, caller, or availability — to a team member, an external number, or the Virtual Call Team. Messaging is metered in credits: roughly 4 IQ Credits per SMS, 5 to 10 per MMS, and 5 to 7 per minute of calling.
The Client Portal, also Pro and up, gives each customer a branded, secure link with no app download and no account to create. They can view and approve estimates, pay invoices, see appointments and inspections, submit service requests, get a quote, and leave a review. Every panel toggles globally and per customer, you can add up to five custom menu links, and an Activity tab shows you when the customer actually opened something — which is a far better follow-up trigger than a calendar reminder.
Email & Text Automations on Pro and above run event-triggered, multi-step sequences with personalization tags, timed from immediately to twenty-four months out. That last number matters in this trade: a maintenance reminder eleven months after an install is a genuinely useful message, not spam. As of 2026 you can describe an automation in plain language and have it built for you, and there is a pre-built follow-up sequence importable in one click. Mass Campaigns on Elite and above send targeted SMS and email to tag-segmented lists — worth knowing up front that you connect your own Twilio and SendGrid gateways for this, complete with A2P 10DLC registration, and carrier fees are yours.
Review Multiplier ships two mechanics: an instant post-payment redirect to your review page, and a full email and SMS review-request automation with four event triggers. Destinations include Google Business Profile, Facebook, Yelp, and Angi. For a garage door company, both review-worthy moments — a finished emergency repair and a completed install — happen in the field where the office is not watching, which is exactly why the trigger should be automatic rather than a technician remembering to ask.
For self-service, InstaQuote lets homeowners build their own quote from your service library and pricing, and InstaSchedule books them into real calendar availability around the clock. Both are Elite and above, as are Pipelines & Deals — labeled Deals in the app — which track install bids on a Kanban board with close-probability weighting, six-metric analytics, and multi-assignee support. Elite runs up to five pipelines; Max is unlimited. Google Reserve adds booking straight from Google Search and Maps on every plan, and QuoteIQ runs with full parity across iOS, Android, and the web.
Every QuoteIQ plan includes AI features and IQ Credits, the iOS and Android apps with full web parity, the Help Center, video tutorials, and 24/7 live support. Annual billing is ten months for twelve. Plans are month-to-month with no long-term contract.
| Your operation | Plan | The capability that decides it |
|---|---|---|
| Owner-operator, repair-led, no crew | Essentials — $29.99 | Estimates, invoicing, scheduling, e-signatures, financing, and AI Estimator all included. No satellite measurement or photo documentation. |
| Owner plus a helper, doing installs | Beginner — $74.99 | MapMeasure Pro, QuoteIQ Cam, Street View, Zillow access, expense tracking, and advanced analytics arrive here. |
| Two to four people, tracking profit | Pro — $149.99 | Job Costing, ClientHub, Client Portal, automations, On-The-Way texts, and QuickBooks Online. The right default for most shops. |
| Multiple trucks, parts inventory, routing | Elite — $299 | 10 users plus Inventory, Route Optimization, EmployeeHub, InstaQuote, InstaSchedule, Deals, and Mass Campaigns. |
| Crew-based installs, sales team, multi-entity | Max — $699 | Unlimited seats, Crews, Sales Team Tracker, unlimited pipelines, AI Website Builder included, four extra businesses, priority support. |
For most garage door companies the honest answer is Pro. Job costing is the feature that changes how you price, and it starts there. Move to Elite when you are carrying real spring and opener stock across more than one truck, because that is the point at which inventory and routing stop being nice-to-have. The AI Website Builder is a $34.99/month add-on on every plan except Max, where it is included. Annual billing on Pro works out to ten payments instead of twelve.
Comparing base prices across field service platforms is close to meaningless, because the platforms are priced on different axes. The three variables that actually determine what you pay over a year are seat pricing, add-on gating, and how many separate subscriptions you need to cover one workflow. Garage door companies get hit on all three, because this trade needs measurement, photo documentation, parts inventory, and after-hours call handling — four categories that are commonly sold separately.
QuoteIQ’s structure is deliberately flat. Users are bundled into the plan rather than billed per seat, AI is included on every tier rather than sold as a module, and photo documentation, measurement, inventory, and the AI phone team are features of the product rather than partner integrations. That is the entire cost argument, and it is a structural one rather than a discount.
Pricing across this category moved repeatedly through 2026, and several major platforms publish no rate card at all. Rather than quote figures that may be stale by the time you read this, build your own comparison: take each vendor’s current published price for the tier that includes the features you need, add the per-seat cost for your actual headcount, then add every add-on and third-party subscription required to cover measurement, photo documentation, inventory, and call answering. Check Jobber and Housecall Pro on their own pricing pages for current numbers, and run the same exercise against the QuoteIQ figures above. Our comparison hub and the field service pricing calculator walk through the arithmetic.
One category comparison is worth doing concretely, because garage door companies genuinely evaluate it: bolt-on customer self-quoting versus built-in. ResponsiBid is the best-known dedicated quoting-and-follow-up tool in home services. Checked against their own pricing page on September 4, 2026, their Startup plan is free, Scaling is $179 per month, and Pro is $229 per month — and each paid plan also carries a one-time setup fee, which their pricing FAQ describes as covering hands-on account setup with a dedicated coach. Quoting the monthly figure alone understates what you will actually pay in month one, so ask them for the setup number before you compare.
The structural point is not the price. ResponsiBid states plainly on its own site that it is a sales tool designed to work alongside the CRM of your choice — it connects to platforms like Jobber, Housecall Pro, and The Customer Factor for scheduling, invoicing, and payment. So the real comparison is ResponsiBid plus a CRM, versus one QuoteIQ subscription where InstaQuote and InstaSchedule are already inside the platform that holds your customer records, your inventory, and your invoices. It is also worth noting that their published industry fit centers on window cleaning, pressure washing, gutter, maid, and carpet services rather than garage door work.
Measurement, 4K documentation, inventory, AI estimating, an AI phone team, a business phone line, routing, and a client portal ship inside QuoteIQ rather than as four separate vendors with four separate renewal dates and four places for your customer data to live. Fewer integrations is not a marketing line in this trade — it is one fewer place for a job to fall through.
QuoteIQ LLC was founded on September 21, 2022 in Savannah, Georgia by Co-Founders Mike Vidan and Justin Rogers, both of whom built and operated service businesses before writing software for them. Feature decisions reflect field experience — Schedule Later exists because custom orders arrive late, and inventory transactions include “Damaged” because panels get bent.
Options Estimates put steel, insulated, and carriage-house tiers on one document with transparent pricing on each. The customer educates themselves and chooses up. Available on every plan from $29.99/month, alongside Package Estimates for door-plus-opener bundles.
MapMeasure Pro measures from aerial imagery, saves to the customer profile, attaches screenshots as proof of scope, and now scrolls back through years of historical imagery. Paired with Street View it removes most assessment truck rolls entirely.
AI Autopilot with 55 tools across 13 categories, AI Estimator, AI CoPilot, Before & After AI, AI Text Generator, and Virtual Call Team all run on the IQ Credits included with your subscription.
One user on Essentials, two on Beginner, four on Pro, ten on Elite, and unlimited on Max at a flat $699. Adding a fifth installer during busy season does not change your software bill on Elite, and never changes it on Max.
A rendering of the proposed door on the homeowner’s actual house, generated in about fifteen to twenty seconds and attached to the estimate. In a trade that sells curb appeal, showing beats describing — and Before & After AI is on every plan.
Unlimited 4K photo and video, annotations, custom Inspection Forms, job reports, and a permanent customer archive through QuoteIQ Cam — no separate photo-documentation subscription, and no argument you cannot substantiate.
Job Costing pulls labor from Time Tracker Pro and expenses from Expense Tracking and shows margin per job with a profit bar. Available from Pro at $149.99/month.
Inventory Management tracks springs, drums, cables, panels, and openers by location with reorder points and full transaction history, on Elite and above. Very little software at this price does it at all.
Rated 4.7 across 4,103 reviews, used by more than 40,000 contractors, month-to-month on every plan with no cancellation fee. Start with a 14-day free trial on the plan you actually intend to run.
6:10 a.m. — the spring call. A homeowner’s torsion spring snaps and traps the car. Nobody is at the office. Virtual Call Team answers, qualifies the caller — single or double door, does it move at all, is anyone at the property — captures the address, and sends you a notification with a recording and a full transcript. You convert it into a scheduled visit from your phone before you finish your coffee.
7:00 a.m. — the plan. The calendar shows two spring replacements, one double-door install, and two maintenance inspections. Route Density already showed where the day clusters; Route Optimization sequences the stops and absorbs the emergency add. Crews get their assignments through team messaging and clock in on Time Tracker Pro.
8:30 a.m. — the lead. A quote request lands from your website contact form. You open the address in MapMeasure Pro, confirm a standard 16×7 double opening, check the current door in Street View, glance at the value band in Zillow Quick Access, and send a three-tier Options Estimate within fifteen minutes. No truck moved.
10:00 a.m. — the install. The crew photographs the existing opening with QuoteIQ Cam, completes the pre-work inspection form, and gets to work. The homeowner asks about a quieter opener mid-job; the installer adds it through AI CoPilot without leaving the document.
1:00 p.m. — done and paid. After-photos captured, before/after comparison built, sensor reversal test recorded, homeowner signs by E-Signature, and pays through the embedded online checkout — or takes financing on the upgraded opener. Review Multiplier fires the review request the moment the invoice is marked paid, and the springs and opener come out of inventory at the same moment.
5:00 p.m. — the numbers. Business Analytics shows the day’s completed jobs, revenue, and conversion rate; Job Costing shows margin on each install with labor and parts already subtracted. Tomorrow’s route is sequenced and the open install bids are sitting in Deals with weighted values attached.

Watch Video →Create your account at the registration page and pick the tier that matches your operation — most garage door shops belong on Pro, multi-truck operations carrying stock on Elite. The 14-day trial gives you the features of the plan you choose, so trialing the wrong tier tests the wrong product.
Export a CSV from your current system and let AI Smart Import map the columns, or import straight from your phone contacts into the customer database. Then load your standard services — double-door installs, single-door installs, torsion spring replacement, cable and drum service, opener installs, panel replacement, and annual tune-ups — with your real pricing. Grab a starting layout from the contractor invoice template if you are starting from scratch.
Create Options Estimate templates for each door type and size so a three-tier quote is two taps rather than twenty. Build your inspection form once — sensor alignment, reversal test, counterbalance condition, manual release, track and roller wear — and it becomes the documented standard every technician follows. Add your contract and warranty attachments at the same time.
Enable Email & Text Automations and import the pre-built follow-up sequence in one click, then connect Review Multiplier to your Google Business Profile so the request fires the moment an invoice is paid. Connect QuickBooks Online if you are on Pro or above, and set your calendar and on-the-way notifications. Most shops are running live inside a week.
Support runs through the Help Center, video tutorials, email at support@quoteiq.io, and text to 912-913-7154, with 24/7 live support on every plan. There is also an active contractor community on Facebook where operators trade workflows.
I’ve been using the app for a little over a month and in my opinion, is an essential part of my business. The app is easy to use and I love how professional the estimates and invoices look, especially when you attach photos. You can upload receipts, along with pictures which will be a huge benefit come tax time. It also integrates with quick books! I am so happy with how the app works, I’d give it more than five stars if I could! In a nutshell, the app is AWESOME! Highly recommended!
Nick Bosick · Google PlayWe are in the pressure washing business and have used several different quoting systems that all required multiple programs to do the quoting, follow up, and billing. We are now changing to Quote IQ because it has everything in one app. It also makes it easier to complete quotes on the phone or even in person. We are an expanding company and it is making it easier for us to have everybody on the same system.
Rick Abend · Google PlayA very good all-in-one tool to use for any small business and definitely for the service industry. Being able to make quick estimates for customers that look professional and clearly list out the services and fees while also being able to attach files/images to the invoice makes it easy to protect both the property owner and the service provider. This tool has definitely helped my business grow.
