How it works

Picture the job. Send paperwork that holds up.

The path is the same whether you are on a remodel, a service call, or a longer commercial job.

  1. 01

    Photograph the notes and the job

    Take pictures of handwritten contractor notes, sketches, and jobsite conditions. You can also start a document by typing — AI is an accelerator, not a requirement.

  2. 02

    Review the extraction

    If you use AI, check line items, quantities, and scope. Correct anything that does not match the job. Nothing is sent until you say so.

  3. 03

    Apply your branding

    Your company name, logo, colors, and conditions go on the PDF. Customers should recognize the document as yours.

  4. 04

    Send for approval

    Share a private quote link. The customer reviews and signs. You keep a record of what was issued.

  5. 05

    Invoice from the accepted quote

    Convert the accepted quote into an invoice instead of rebuilding the same numbers in another tool.

  6. 06

    Collect payment and send a receipt

    Include a customer payment link on the invoice. When payment is recorded, a receipt can go out automatically.

Questions

Do I have to use AI?

No. You can create quotes, estimates, and invoices by hand. AI extraction is optional and always reviewed by you before a customer sees the document.

Will the PDF look like my company?

Yes. You set company name, logo, colors, and conditions in your workspace. Those details print on quotes, estimates, and invoices.

Can customers sign and pay without an account?

Customers open a private link for the quote or invoice. They do not need a Contactor Docs login to review, approve, or pay.

Are customer documents listed on Google?

No. Quote, invoice, and receipt token URLs are excluded from indexing. The public marketing site is what search engines are invited to crawl.
