QuoteIQ is the all-in-one tile cleaning CRM with per-square-foot Good/Better/Best estimates, satellite measurement for exterior tile, grout and sealer inventory, per-job costing, sealing and restoration packages, and AI tools. Plans start at $29.99/month, and every plan includes a 14-day free trial.
The best CRM for tile cleaning in 2026 is QuoteIQ. A tile and grout company can quote per square foot in three tiers on one Options Estimate, add grout color seal and sealer with Package Estimates, collect deposits through Online Payments, and see profit per job with Job Costing on the Pro plan ($149.99/month, 4 users). Chemical and diamond-pad inventory, Pipelines & Deals, and InstaQuote come with Elite ($299/month, 10 users).
TL;DR: QuoteIQ is the tile cleaning CRM that quotes per square foot in Good/Better/Best tiers with Options Estimates, bundles color seal and sealer into Package Estimates, measures pool decks and patios with MapMeasure Pro, documents grout with QuoteIQ Cam, shows profit per job with Job Costing, and runs 55 tools by voice through AI Autopilot. Plans run $29.99 to $699 per month, the Pro plan at $149.99 is the recommended tier for most tile crews, and every plan includes a 14-day free trial. Budget labor against the BLS median of $17.71 per hour for building cleaners, and plan stone honing around OSHA’s crystalline silica rules.
QuoteIQ is the #1 CRM for tile cleaning in 2026 because it puts the exact tools a tile cleaning company needs to quote accurately, manage jobs efficiently, and grow profitably into one app. Whether a tile cleaning business handles residential kitchen and bathroom tile, commercial lobby and showroom tile, natural stone restoration, or full grout repair and color sealing, QuoteIQ gives every tile cleaning operation the features to win more jobs and keep more profit on every project. Plans start at $29.99 per month, every plan includes a 14-day free trial, and our dedicated tile and grout cleaning software page walks through trade-specific setup.
Every tile cleaning company knows that pricing is the foundation of profitability. A tile cleaning business that quotes per room instead of per square foot leaves money on the table on large projects and overcharges on small ones. QuoteIQ Options Estimates let any tile cleaning company present Good/Better/Best per-square-foot pricing, so a homeowner with 600 square feet of ceramic tile sees Standard tile cleaning at $3.50 per square foot ($2,100), Enhanced tile cleaning with grout brightening at $5.50 per square foot ($3,300), and Premium tile cleaning with grout color seal and penetrating sealer at $8.00 per square foot ($4,800), all on one estimate. Those are example rates; set your own for your market. That transparency lets homeowners trade up on their own instead of feeling pushed. If your crews also clean carpet or run residential cleaning routes, the free carpet cleaning cost calculator and house cleaning cost calculator help sanity-check bundled pricing, and the full set lives on the home service business calculators hub.
The spread between Standard ($2,100) and Premium ($4,800) on the same 600-square-foot floor at the example rates. One Options Estimate, three choices, and the homeowner picks.
MapMeasure Pro, included from the Beginner plan up, measures from satellite imagery right inside estimate creation. For a tile cleaning business, that means exterior tile such as pool decks, patios, outdoor pavers, and tiled entry walks can be measured to the square foot before the site visit, and a building’s footprint sets an upper bound on interior square footage. Satellite imagery cannot see through a roof, so interior tile zones are confirmed on site with a quick walkthrough. Measurements save to the customer profile, and screenshots attach to the estimate as visual proof of scope. Property Street View and Zillow Quick Access round out the pre-visit check.
Inventory Management on the Elite plan tracks tile cleaning chemicals and supplies, including alkaline tile and grout cleaner by the gallon, acid-based grout cleaner for heavy restoration on acid-safe tile, color seal by the quart, penetrating impregnating sealer by the gallon, grout repair compound, diamond grinding pads by grit (50, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1500, 3000), spinner tool replacement jets, wand tips, corner tool attachments, and microfiber bonnets. Every product carries a reorder point with In Stock, Low, and Out indicators, so a tile cleaning business never runs short mid-job and never over-orders product that sits in the warehouse. One rule to know: stock deducts when the invoice is paid, not when the job is marked done.
Pipelines & Deals, on Elite and Max, tracks residential tile cleaning leads, commercial maintenance contracts, property manager relationships, builder final-clean contracts, and restoration referrals from flooring retailers as separate boards with close-probability stages and weighted forecasting. A tile cleaning business that builds multiple pipelines creates predictable revenue channels that smooth out seasonal demand. QuoteIQ Co-Founders Mike Vidan and Justin Rogers built QuoteIQ for home service businesses like tile cleaning companies because a tile cleaning business needs pipeline visibility to grow beyond one truck.
Before & After AI previews show homeowners their dingy, discolored tile and stained grout lines transformed into bright, uniform, freshly sealed tile and grout, generated from a single photo in about 15 to 20 seconds. This visual selling tool closes more tile cleaning jobs at premium pricing because homeowners can see the transformation before any work begins. Contract Attachments keep sealer warranties, maintenance care guides, and service agreements bound to every tile cleaning estimate.
A tile cleaning business that switches to QuoteIQ can replace several separate apps (quoting, scheduling, invoicing, photo documentation, a second phone line, and a job-cost spreadsheet) with a single platform. The Pro plan at $149.99 per month adds a dedicated business number through ClientHub, Job Costing, Email & Text Automations, the Client Portal, and QuickBooks Online sync. That is why more tile cleaning business owners are switching to QuoteIQ in 2026.
Every CRM claims to work for contractors, but QuoteIQ is built with the features a tile cleaning business actually uses. Per-square-foot tiered pricing, satellite measurement, tile cleaning chemical inventory, and commercial maintenance pipelines are just the beginning of what every tile cleaning company gets. Here are the 12 features that make QuoteIQ the best CRM for tile cleaning in 2026, with the plan each one starts on.
Present Standard tile cleaning at $3.50 per square foot (hot water extraction, truck-mount cleaning, and standard drying), Enhanced at $5.50 per square foot (alkaline pre-spray, rotary grout-line scrubbing, and grout brightening), and Premium at $8.00 per square foot (heavy grout restoration, diamond-pad honing on natural stone, color seal on every grout line, and penetrating impregnating sealer). A 600-square-foot tile cleaning job runs from $2,100 Standard to $4,800 Premium on the same estimate, and the homeowner chooses the scope. Rates shown are examples; set your own.
Learn more about Options EstimatesMapMeasure Pro measures from satellite imagery inside estimate creation. Pool decks, patios, outdoor paver walkways, and tiled entries measure to the square foot before you arrive, with drawing tools for curved and irregular shapes. For interiors, a 3,200-square-foot commercial footprint tells you the most tile a lobby-and-corridor job can hold, then you confirm the tiled zones on site. Measurements save to the customer profile, screenshots attach to the estimate, and the August 2026 release added a historical aerial imagery timeline.
Learn more about MapMeasure ProTrack alkaline tile and grout cleaner by the gallon, acid-based restorer for acid-safe porcelain and ceramic, enzyme cleaner for food-service tile, color seal shades by the quart, penetrating and topical sealers, grout repair compound by color, diamond pads by grit (50 through 3000), spinner jets and bearings, corner tools, wand tips, and microfiber bonnets. Products, Locations (warehouse and each truck), Suppliers, Orders, and Transactions keep every movement logged. Stock deducts when the invoice is paid, and a deposit does not count as paid.
See what the Elite plan includesEvery job gets a Report tab: Total Price minus Labor minus Expenses equals Profit, with a margin bar. Labor pulls from time tracking (hourly rate times clocked hours, with GPS clock-in through Time Tracker Pro on Elite), and expenses link to the job: chemicals at $0.15 to $0.40 per square foot depending on soil level, color seal at about $0.35 per linear foot of grout, penetrating sealer at about $0.20 per square foot, and diamond-pad wear on stone. An 800-square-foot Premium job at $6,400 that costs $2,240 shows a 65% gross margin. Price truck miles at the IRS business rate of 76¢ per mile (from July 1, 2026).
Learn more about Job CostingBuild add-ons into every tile cleaning consultation: grout color seal at $2.50 per linear foot, grout repair and re-grout at $6.00 per linear foot, penetrating impregnating sealer on natural stone at $1.25 per square foot, topical high-gloss sealer on Saltillo or terracotta at $1.50 per square foot, cracked tile replacement at $25 per tile, and shower cleaning and seal at $350 per shower. Package Estimates bundle cleaning, color seal, and sealer into a Complete Tile Restoration Package. Because the floor is already clean and the grout already scrubbed, sealing adds little labor per dollar.
Learn more about Package EstimatesTake one photo of stained, discolored grout and dull tile, and Before & After AI generates a realistic after image, bright, uniform, and freshly sealed, in about 15 to 20 seconds. Attach it to any estimate type or invoice so the homeowner sees the Premium result before choosing a tier. Visual selling is especially powerful in tile cleaning because homeowners cannot picture how much grout color will change a room until they see it. Each generation, and each regeneration, uses IQ Credits, and every AI action shows its credit cost before it runs.
Learn more about Before & After AIBlock tile cleaning, drying, sealer application, and cure time on a drag-and-drop calendar with day, week, month, and employee-timeline views. A 1,200-square-foot commercial clean Monday morning, sealer Monday afternoon, and a 24-hour cure before the space reopens Tuesday evening can run as one multi-day job shown as a continuous event. When humidity stretches drying time, drag the job to its new slot, and automated appointment reminders keep the customer informed. Schedule Later holds jobs with no date until the floor is ready.
Learn more about SchedulingQuoteIQ Cam captures every phase, from initial condition (stained grout, efflorescence, etch marks, and cracked grout lines) through cleaning in progress, color seal application, final sealer, and the finished floor, organized by job and date with annotations. Unlimited 4K photo and video cloud storage, inspection reports, and job reports come included, and photos attach to quotes and invoices or share as a customer gallery. One dramatic side-by-side of restored tile and grout is the marketing asset that sells the next job.

Meet Derek Montoya, owner of Montoya Tile Restoration in Phoenix, Arizona, an illustrative example. Derek runs two tile cleaning crews on the QuoteIQ Elite plan and handles all estimates himself. Here is how Derek runs his tile cleaning business on QuoteIQ.
Derek opens QuoteIQ scheduling and sees 7 tile cleaning jobs across his two crews. Crew A (Derek and one senior tech) has a 1,400-square-foot natural stone restoration at a luxury home in Scottsdale at $11,200 and a 300-square-foot shower tile cleaning and re-grout at $2,100. Crew B (two techs running volume jobs) has a 600-square-foot kitchen and hallway tile cleaning at $2,100, a 900-square-foot porcelain tile cleaning with grout color seal at $4,950, and two small maintenance cleans at $450 each. Derek checks inventory: Crew A’s truck needs 2 gallons of stone-safe neutral cleaner, a full set of diamond pads from 50 to 3000 grit, and 1 quart of penetrating impregnating sealer. Crew B needs 3 gallons of alkaline tile and grout cleaner, 2 quarts of Bone White color seal, and replacement spinner jets. He confirms both truck Locations are stocked, and each tech sees their assigned jobs in EmployeeHub. Both crews roll by 7:00 AM.
Derek and his tech arrive at the Scottsdale home. The master bathroom, kitchen, and foyer are honed travertine, 1,400 square feet that has been neglected for 8 years: lippage on several tiles, etch marks around the kitchen sink, and grout lines that are nearly black. Derek documents everything with QuoteIQ Cam: close-ups of etching, wide shots of discolored grout, and a video pan of the lippage. Travertine is acid-sensitive, so the crew uses only stone-safe neutral cleaner. They start wet with 50-grit diamond pads to level the lippage, then work through 100, 200, 400, 800, 1500, and 3000 grit for a semi-polished finish, keeping the slurry wet to control dust. Material usage is logged in Expense Tracking, and crew hours are tracked in Time Tracker Pro. By noon the travertine is honed, grout lines are cleaned, and they apply penetrating sealer.
OSHA’s permissible exposure limit for respirable crystalline silica, averaged over an 8-hour day, with an action level of 25 μg/m³. Grinding stone creates that dust, which is why OSHA’s silica standards matter to every honing crew.
While his tech monitors sealer cure at the Scottsdale job, Derek drives to a consultation at a 2005 single-story ranch home. Before arriving he ran MapMeasure Pro: the footprint measures about 1,800 square feet, which caps how much interior tile the home can hold. Property Street View confirms the layout. On site, Derek measures 600 square feet of ceramic tile in the kitchen, dining room, and two hallways, and documents grout condition with QuoteIQ Cam: grout lines that are dark brown (originally cream), several cracked tiles in the kitchen, and a dull haze in the dining room. He builds the Options Estimate with Standard at $2,100 ($3.50 per square foot), Enhanced at $3,300 ($5.50 per square foot), and Premium at $4,800 ($8.00 per square foot, full grout restoration, color seal in Linen White, and penetrating sealer). He shows the Before & After AI preview of the stained grout turned bright Linen White. The homeowner picks Premium, signs with an e-signature on her phone, and pays the 50% deposit of $2,400 through Online Payments. That is a $4,800 tile cleaning job closed in 25 minutes.
Before leaving, Derek notices the master bathroom has a walk-in shower with 12×24 porcelain wall tile and 2×2 mosaic floor tile. The grout is mildewed and the caulk lines are failing. He builds a Package Estimate for a Complete Tile Restoration Package: shower tile cleaning at $350, shower grout color seal at $450, caulk removal and replacement at $275, two cracked kitchen tiles replaced at $25 each ($50), and baseboard tile cleaning at $625. Total add-on: $1,750. The homeowner approves because it is easier to do everything while the crew is already there. Derek updates Job Costing: the original $4,800 plus the $1,750 upsell equals $6,550. Material cost on the upsell is about $285, plus 3 crew-hours at $90 (two techs at a fully loaded $45 each) for $555 in total cost, leaving $1,195 of additional profit at a 68% margin on the upsell.
Derek checks Job Costing across active projects. The Scottsdale travertine restoration at $11,200 shows $2,920 in costs (diamond pads $680, chemicals $340, sealer $280, 14 crew-hours at $90 = $1,260, drive time $160, equipment wear $200) for a 74% gross margin. The ranch home job at $6,550 is budgeted at about $1,900 (chemicals $380, color seal $310, replacement tiles $40, caulk supplies $55, 10 crew-hours at $90 = $900, drive time $85, equipment wear $130) for a 71% gross margin. Crew B’s volume jobs total $7,950 with combined costs of $3,180 for a 60% margin. Revenue booked across both crews today is $25,700 with $17,700 in gross profit. Business Analytics breaks it down by service, customer, and employee.
The Scottsdale travertine restoration is complete. Derek takes final transformation photos with QuoteIQ Cam showing the lippage-corrected, honed, sealed travertine under the foyer chandelier. After the final payment, Review Multiplier sends the homeowner to Derek’s Google review page, and she leaves a 5-star review with photos within an hour. Meanwhile, a property management company Derek has been nurturing in Pipelines & Deals signs a 12-month maintenance contract for 6 commercial lobbies at $1,800 per quarter each, $43,200 per year, billed automatically through Invoice Subscriptions. Analytics shows the week: $96,800 in tile cleaning revenue, $61,400 gross profit, a 63.4% average margin, 28 jobs completed, 4 new leads in the pipeline, and 6 five-star reviews collected.
Every aspect of Derek’s tile cleaning business runs on one platform. No job-cost spreadsheet, no separate photo app like CompanyCam, and no second phone line, because ClientHub gives the business its own number. Just QuoteIQ, the CRM for tile cleaning that combines quoting, scheduling, invoicing, inventory, job costing, AI tools, and pipeline management in one app.
“Same day. Not tomorrow morning — same day. Whoever sends a clear, specific estimate first is the one the customer starts comparing everyone else to. That’s a psychological anchor, and it’s real.”

The platforms tile cleaning owners compare most often are Jobber, Housecall Pro, and ServiceTitan. All three sell paid plans with their own tiers and add-ons, and several have shipped AI features recently, so check each vendor’s live pricing and feature pages the day you compare rather than trusting older roundups. What we can state precisely is where each tile cleaning capability sits on QuoteIQ’s published plan ladder, so you can match the plan to the work you actually do. For side-by-side pages on specific vendors, see the QuoteIQ comparison hub.

QuoteIQ Pro for a 4-person tile crew, or $1,499.99 per year billed annually (two months free). Job Costing, ClientHub, automations, Client Portal, and QuickBooks Online are all included.
A growing tile cleaning business needs clear crew structures, permissions, and workflows. Here is how a typical two-crew tile cleaning operation runs on EmployeeHub, which comes with the Elite plan (up to 10 users).
Crew A (Premium and Restoration): Derek (owner) and one senior tech. Handles natural stone restoration, travertine honing, marble polishing, Saltillo stripping and resealing, and every tile cleaning job over $5,000. Both have full access to QuoteIQ Cam, Job Costing, and inventory.
Crew B (Volume Tile Cleaning): Two techs running standard ceramic and porcelain tile cleaning, grout color seal jobs, and maintenance cleans. They see their assigned jobs on the calendar, clock in with GPS through Time Tracker Pro, capture before/after photos, and chat in Team Communication. Roles and permissions keep pricing, estimates, and financial data hidden from their accounts.
Derek (Sales and Estimator): Full access to Options Estimates, Package Estimates, Pipelines & Deals, analytics, and all financial reporting. He handles every consultation, builds every estimate, and manages commercial maintenance relationships. GPS location tracking shows where each tech is while they are clocked in, pauses on breaks, and stops at clock-out.
“The test is simple: can you be unreachable for two weeks without the business falling apart? Not slowing down — falling apart. If your answer is no, the business isn’t running. You are.”

The most profitable tile cleaning business owners build multiple revenue channels that compound over time. Sealing and restoration upsells on every project, commercial maintenance contracts, and flooring retailer referral partnerships are the three pillars. Here is how a tile cleaning business scales with QuoteIQ, using example figures you can swap for your own.
Every tile cleaning estimate without a sealing add-on leaves money on the table. The tile is already clean. The grout is already scrubbed. The incremental labor to apply color seal and penetrating sealer is minimal compared to doing those as separate projects later. Package Estimates present the Complete Tile Restoration Package as a natural add-on. At a 55% attach rate across 40 projects per month, 22 upgraded projects times a $1,650 average upsell equals $36,300 per month, or $435,600 per year, from jobs the business is already doing. Because setup and cleaning costs are already absorbed, Job Costing typically shows sealing add-ons as the highest-margin line on the ticket.
Property managers, hotel chains, medical offices, restaurant groups, and retail stores need recurring tile cleaning on a quarterly or monthly basis. One property management company with 10 properties sending quarterly tile cleaning at a $1,500 average equals $60,000 per year. Three active property management partnerships equal $180,000 per year in recurring work that smooths out seasonal residential demand. Invoice Subscriptions automate recurring billing so the business never misses a payment cycle, the Client Portal lets managers approve estimates and pay invoices without an app, and the Virtual Call Team answers their after-hours calls.
Six commercial lobbies at $1,800 per quarter each. One signed maintenance contract, billed automatically through Invoice Subscriptions.
Flooring stores sell tile but rarely clean or restore it. Every customer who buys new tile also has old tile that needs cleaning, and every interior designer specifying tile for a remodel needs a tile cleaning business for the existing floors. Pipelines & Deals tracks each referral partner. One flooring retailer referring 6 jobs per month at a $2,500 average equals $180,000 per year. Two active retailer partnerships plus three interior designers can exceed $300,000 per year in referred work, and those leads close well because the homeowner already has a professional recommendation. Saved Estimate Templates on Standard Estimates make quoting referral jobs fast, and Mass Campaigns on Elite keep partners updated (you connect your own Twilio and SendGrid accounts for sending).
Software makes a tile cleaning business faster, but the chemistry and safety fundamentals decide whether a job ends in a five-star review or a replacement claim. These are the standards every tile and grout crew should build into its workflow, and where QuoteIQ helps you keep them consistent.
The Natural Stone Institute explains that calcareous stones such as marble, travertine, and limestone are made mostly of calcium carbonate and react to acidic solutions, so mild, non-acidic cleaners are recommended, while siliceous stones such as granite and slate are composed mainly of silicates. An acid grout cleaner that brightens porcelain can etch a marble foyer in seconds. Build a stone-identification and test-spot checklist into inspection forms, photograph the result with QuoteIQ Cam, and attach it to the estimate so the chemical choice is documented before the first pass.
Diamond-pad honing, lippage removal, and grout removal all grind material that contains crystalline silica. OSHA has issued two respirable crystalline silica standards, one for construction and one for general industry, and both limit exposure to 50 micrograms per cubic meter averaged over an 8-hour day. Wet methods and vacuum-equipped tools are the practical controls. Add a dust-control line item to your stone restoration Estimate Templates so the cost is priced in, not absorbed.
Under OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard, employers with hazardous chemicals in the workplace must have labels and safety data sheets for exposed workers and train them to handle those chemicals appropriately. Acid restorers, solvent-based sealers, and alkaline degreasers all qualify. Mirror each truck as an inventory Location on Elite so the SDS binder matches what is actually on board, and use Team Communication to push handling notes to the crew before a new product goes out.
Every safety data sheet follows the same 16-section format under OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard. Keep one for every cleaner and sealer your crews carry.
The EPA’s mold cleanup guidance is to scrub mold off hard surfaces with detergent and water and dry them completely, and it stresses fixing the underlying water problem or the mold returns. For a tile cleaning business, mildewed shower grout plus failing caulk is the opening for a recaulk-and-seal package rather than a one-time clean. Quote it as a Package Estimate and set an automation for a 12-month reseal reminder.
The IICRC Stone, Masonry and Ceramic Tile Cleaning Technician (SMT) certification covers maintenance and cleaning of natural and cultured stone, ceramic tile, masonry, and grout; the IICRC lists the course as two days and 14 hours of instruction. List the credential in your estimate terms, on your Proposals company page, and on your Client Portal branding. Labor is the other side of quality: with the BLS projecting about 321,800 openings a year for janitors and building cleaners, trained techs have options, so pay and scheduling that respect their time matter.
The reason QuoteIQ is the #1 CRM for tile cleaning is not just the tile-specific features. It is that QuoteIQ replaces the separate apps a tile cleaning business juggles at a fraction of the cost: no job-cost spreadsheet, no separate photo app, and no second phone line.
Across the plan ladder, a tile cleaning business also gets: on every plan, AI Autopilot, AI Estimator, AI Text Generator, the Virtual Call Team, e-signatures, online payments (credit and debit cards, ACH, Apple Pay, and Google Pay), consumer financing, invoice subscriptions, Google Reserve booking, business calculators, and data export; from Beginner, Property Street View, Zillow Quick Access, the before/after photo editor, inspection forms, contract attachments, and expense tracking; from Pro, website contact forms and the Client Portal; from Elite, InstaSchedule, Mass Campaigns, Route Density, and Route Optimization; and on Max, the Sales Team Tracker, crews, unlimited users, and the AI Website Builder. Google Calendar sync keeps your personal calendar in step. Every tool a tile cleaning business needs, one login.
Every QuoteIQ plan includes four estimate types, Options pricing, scheduling, online payments, and AI features powered by monthly IQ Credits. For most growing tile cleaning companies, the Pro plan is the recommended starting point because it unlocks ClientHub, per-job cost tracking, automations, and QuickBooks Online at $149.99 per month for 4 users. Most tile cleaning business owners start on Pro and move to Elite when they add crews and need chemical inventory and Pipelines & Deals.

Elite is $299 for 10 users with inventory, Pipelines & Deals, InstaQuote, and Route Optimization. Max is $699 with unlimited users, crews, and the AI Website Builder included. Competitors publish their own tiers and add-ons, so check each vendor’s pricing page the day you compare. Track the miles between jobs too: the IRS business mileage rate is 76¢ per mile from July 1, 2026.
Price tile and grout cleaning per square foot in tiers, then price grout work per linear foot. A common structure is Standard around $3.50 per square foot for hot water extraction, Enhanced around $5.50 with grout scrubbing and brightening, and Premium around $8.00 with color seal and penetrating sealer, example rates to calibrate to your market. Add-ons price separately: grout color seal about $2.50 per linear foot, re-grouting about $6.00 per linear foot, and shower restoration around $350 per shower. Build all three tiers on one Options Estimate, save them as templates on Standard Estimates, bundle add-ons with Package Estimates, and use Job Costing to confirm each tier’s margin after the job. Natural stone needs its own line: the Natural Stone Institute notes that calcareous stones like marble and travertine are acid-sensitive, so stone-safe chemistry and honing cost more per square foot. The free house cleaning cost calculator is a useful cross-check for bundled residential work.
Yes for exterior tile, and partially for interior floors. MapMeasure Pro, included from the Beginner plan ($74.99 per month), measures from satellite imagery inside estimate creation, so pool decks, patios, outdoor pavers, and tiled entries measure to the square foot with drawing tools for complex shapes. For interior floors, the building footprint gives an upper bound (an 1,800-square-foot single-story footprint cannot hold more than about 1,800 square feet of floor tile), but satellite cannot see through a roof, so confirm rooms on site. Measurements save to the customer profile, screenshots attach to the estimate, and the August 2026 release added a historical aerial imagery timeline. Property Street View and Zillow Quick Access help you check the property first, and QuoteIQ Cam documents the interior. Technicians trained through the IICRC Stone, Masonry and Ceramic Tile Cleaning course learn to assess surface condition during that walkthrough.
Track tile chemicals by product, location, and supplier, and tie them to the invoices that use them. QuoteIQ’s Inventory Management on Elite ($299 per month) has five modules: Products (SKU, unit, cost, reorder point, and In Stock, Low, or Out status), Locations (warehouse and each truck), Suppliers, Orders (Draft, Confirmed, Received), and Transactions (Receipt, Issued, Returned, Damaged, Loss, Adjustment). Materials on estimates link to products so color seal and sealer pricing stays current, and stock deducts when the invoice is paid; a deposit alone does not move stock. Keep a safety data sheet for every acid cleaner and solvent sealer on each truck, because OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard requires labels, safety data sheets, and training for workers who handle hazardous chemicals. Expense Tracking and Job Costing on Pro show what chemicals cost per job, and Business Analytics reports trends.
For tile and grout companies, QuoteIQ is a strong Jobber alternative because its quoting is built around per-square-foot tiers and bundled sealing packages, and its plan ladder is published: $29.99, $74.99, $149.99, $299, and $699 per month. Compare on what a tile job actually needs: Options Estimates for Standard, Enhanced, and Premium; Package Estimates for color seal; MapMeasure Pro for exterior tile; QuoteIQ Cam for grout documentation; Job Costing for margin; and a dedicated ClientHub number. Jobber’s plans and add-ons change, so check its live pricing page the day you compare instead of relying on older posts. Switching is straightforward: AI Smart Import maps a CSV exported from Jobber, Housecall Pro, ServiceTitan, or any CRM. For a neutral checklist on choosing business tools, the SBA’s small business guidance is useful, and the QuoteIQ compare hub has side-by-side pages.
Present sealing at the moment the floor looks its best: on the estimate, with a picture. Build a Package Estimate that bundles cleaning with grout color seal (about $2.50 per linear foot), penetrating sealer (about $1.25 per square foot), grout repair (about $6.00 per linear foot), cracked-tile replacement (about $25 per tile), and shower cleaning and seal (about $350), all example rates. Attach a Before & After AI preview of the homeowner’s own grout and a care guide through Contract Attachments. For showers, mildewed grout and failing caulk are the opening: the EPA’s mold cleanup guidance is to scrub mold off hard surfaces, dry them completely, and fix the moisture source or it returns, a natural case for recaulking and sealing. Proposals can present the whole package with photos and reviews. Email and Text Automations on Pro send a reseal reminder 12 months later, and Invoice Subscriptions bill maintenance plans automatically.
Yes. Every QuoteIQ plan includes a 14-day free trial with full access to the features of the plan you choose, limited to one trial per person, business, and payment method. The trial converts to the selected plan’s rate unless you cancel before it ends, and you can cancel at any time during the trial. Use the 14 days to load your tile services as Options Estimates and Package Estimates, import customers with AI Smart Import, send a real estimate by text or email, and collect a deposit through Online Payments. Compare plans on the pricing page before you pick. If you want help, book a live demo, or choose Done-For-You setup ($299.99 or $999.99), which includes contact import, price book setup, and a one-on-one onboarding session. Build a stone-safety checklist into your inspection forms during the trial, because OSHA’s silica standards apply the first time a crew hones travertine.

QuoteIQ has already started paying dividends for my new business. The Estimates and Invoices are outstanding, including the ability to add photos. Clearly, lots of entrepreneurial thinking has gone into the design of this CRM! If you’re considering your options, choose QuoteIQ

I have been using quoteiq for a year and a half now and I can’t express enough how easy/User friendly it is to use. I have tried a couple other crm’s and though they also had a lot of features they were hard to navigate and had a poor layout. I get tons of compliments from customers on how professional my quotes look and how easy it is to make payments. Also the cost of quoteiq is second to none, by far most affordable. I highly recommend!!
