For handyman businesses

Small jobs, quick quotes, paid before you pack up.

Take the fix-it lists from a form on your website, quote from your own price list or bill by the hour, fit a day of small jobs together with less driving, and check out at the door with a tip.

Sound familiar?

What gets in the way, and what changes

Six small jobs on opposite sides of town

A faucet here, a sticking door there, a shelf across town, and the order you drive them decides whether you reach the last one before dark.

With Stacwork

Fill the day adds the jobs with no time yet that fit with the least driving, Better route finds an order that drives less, and My Day opens your stops in order in the phone's maps app.

Quoting takes longer than the fix

Writing up a $180 job from scratch every evening eats the hour you meant for the next one.

With Stacwork

Build the quote from your own catalog, start from a saved template, or describe the job in a sentence and Stacwork drafts the lines from your price list for you to check.

Billing by the hour from memory

You stayed an extra hour and stopped for hinges on the way, but the bill you write that night says only what you remember.

With Stacwork

Log time on the job at your hourly rate and record the materials, both carried onto the bill, then check out at the door by card, cash, or a pay link.

How it runs

One fix-it list, request to paid

Three small repairs at one house, billed by the hour.

Sample names and figures.

  1. Sat 9:20

    A fix-it list comes in

    A drywall patch, a sticking door, and a dripping faucet, sent from your website's request form.

  2. Sat 10:05

    Straight to a job

    The request becomes a job in one step, address included, and waits in To schedule beside the calendar.

  3. Mon 18:00

    Tuesday by drive time

    Fill the day adds it to Tuesday between a closet shelf and a gate latch, with the least driving.

  4. Tue 8:50

    On my way

    The client gets an email that you are coming, with your arrival estimate.

  5. Tue 11:40

    Time and parts on the job

    Two and a half hours logged at your $85 rate, the new faucet recorded as a material, and a photo of the patched wall.

  6. Tue 11:50

    Paid at the door with a tip

    The bill comes straight from the job, they add a tip, and you charge their card before you leave.

  7. Wed 9:00

    A review request Team and up

    A review request is drafted for the finished job, ready for you to send.

Features for handyman businesses

Plan the day

  • Fill the day with the least driving

    My Day opens the day's stops in order in the phone's maps app, and you can let your team plan their own day.

  • Drag a job onto a day and a time

Questions from handyman businesses

Straight answers about how Stacwork runs your day.

Can I bill by the hour instead of quoting?

Yes. Turn a request straight into a job, log time on it at your hourly rate, and billable time carries onto the invoice along with any materials you record.

How quickly can I put together a quote for a small job?

Build it from your catalog with tax, discounts, and a note, or start from a template you saved. You can also describe the job in a sentence, and Stacwork drafts the lines from your own price list for you to check before you save.

Can clients pay me before I leave the house?

Yes. Check out on site: the bill comes from the job with any deposit taken off, the client can add a tip, and you charge a card, record cash or a check, or send a pay link.

Is there an app to download?

No download needed. Stacwork runs in your phone's browser, and you can add it to the home screen on iPhone or Android. My Day shows your schedule and each job's details.

I work alone. Is the Free plan enough?

Free runs the whole loop from request to paid, for up to 2 people, so a one-person business can start there. Reminders, review requests, and the client portal come with Team, which every new account gets free for 7 days, no card needed. If you do not subscribe, you move to Free and keep your data. See the plans below for prices.

Can I keep notes on a client's house for next time?

Yes. Each client has one record with contacts, service and billing addresses, notes, and tags, and a timeline of every quote, job, invoice, and payment, so you can see what you fixed last time.

Fill tomorrow with less driving.

Free runs the whole loop for up to 2 people. No credit card.
