Is this contractor estimate generator free to use?
Yes. It is a free contractor estimate generator with no login required. Everything runs in your browser, and you can print or save the finished bid as a PDF.
How do I add overhead and profit to my estimate?
Enter your markup percentage in the overhead / profit field. The tool adds that amount to the subtotal automatically before calculating tax and the final bid total.
Can I use this bid sheet for remodeling, roofing, or service work?
