Fast Quote Reviews & Product Details

FastQuote is estimating, proposal and job software built for residential fence contractors. It handles the customer side of a fence job in one app: the first measurement, the signed proposal, the deposit, the crew schedule, the final invoice and the Google review request. There's no need to piece together separate drawing, quoting, e-signature, payment and CRM tools. FastQuote is $99 a month with every feature included, and new accounts start with a 30-day free trial. Most general field-service apps were built for service calls, not fence installs. A fence estimate starts with a layout: runs, corners, walk gates and drive gates. FastQuote starts there too. On site, the estimator sketches the fence line on a phone or tablet while walking the property, drops in the gates, and FastQuote calculates the linear footage and gate count from the sketch. That single measurement is shared by every style on the estimate. Pricing comes from the company's own price book. Each fence style can be priced per foot, per gate, or from its actual materials, with markup and sales commission built into every quote. Saved items and upgrades, such as stain and seal, cap boards, post upgrades or removal of an old fence, can be added in a click. Manual line items cover non-standard work. When a style is priced from materials, FastQuote also works out the material quantities behind the price. Proposals are where fence jobs are won or lost, so FastQuote is built for good, better, best selling. One sketch can price up to four styles, shown side by side on a single proposal. Optional add-ons can include photos and descriptions, so the customer sees exactly what an upgrade looks like and what it costs. The proposal goes out by text or email as a link the customer opens on any phone, with no app or account needed. The customer picks a style, checks the add-ons they want, and signs by drawing or typing their name. They choose how to pay the deposit: online by card or ACH through a secure payment link, or by check or cash at the first appointment. A signed PDF is emailed to the customer and saved to the job, so the contract is always on file. Contractors can also turn on automatic online pricing, which builds online payment processing costs into the price customers see when they pay by card or ACH, while customers who pay by check or cash pay the standard price. Signing a proposal creates the job. The office books it on the crew calendar and moves it through Unscheduled, Scheduled, In progress and Completed. For styles priced from materials, FastQuote builds the materials list and a supplier order list from the sketch, rounded to the bundles and boxes suppliers actually sell. Every job shows its contract value, estimated cost and gross profit, and the team can enter actual costs after the build to see how the job really did. Billing stays on the same record. Contractors send invoices for the balance, set up payment schedules with a deposit and installments, and send a payment link for each one. Check and cash payments are recorded right on the invoice so balances stay accurate. When the job is complete, FastQuote sends the customer a Google review request by email and text. Every FastQuote account includes a built-in CRM for contacts, calls, texts, email, the sales pipeline and the calendar. New leads show up on the Clients screen automatically. Each client page shows contact details, lifetime value and every estimate, job and invoice for that customer, so the office never retypes information from one system to another. Follow-up automations, including an instant reply to new leads and follow-up texts on unsigned estimates and unpaid invoices, are configured for each company during setup. FastQuote runs in the web browser on any phone, tablet or computer. Crews and estimators can add it to their home screen, where it opens like an app, with nothing to download from an app store. A dashboard shows what is owed, what is waiting on the customer, what needs a date and what has been collected. Setup is done with the contractor, not left to them. The Fence Branders team sets up each account with the company's details, defaults and connections, and works through the price book with the owner so the first proposal goes out right. A help center with step-by-step guides and screenshots covers every part of the app, and support is available by email and phone. FastQuote is built and supported by Fence Branders LLC, a marketing agency in Douglasville, Georgia that works only with fence contractors. Fence Branders marketing clients get FastQuote included in their plan. Pricing is simple. Start with a 30-day free trial with every feature included. After the trial, FastQuote is $99 a month for one plan, with no feature tiers and nothing to unlock later.
