Went from quoting jobs on napkins to using Google Forms last month
I used to scribble estimates on whatever paper was handy, usually a napkin from Flying Star on Central. Then a client laughed at my handwriting and said it looked like a ransom note. Now I use a Google Form template with line items, and I save about 20 minutes per quote. Anyone else switch from chaos to a system like that?

Hey @blairm77, did you hear about my buddy who used a napkin estimate and lost a $3,000 job because the ink smeared?

Man, I read something similar on a contractor forum the other day where a guy lost a big deck build because his handwritten quote got coffee spilled on it. It's wild people still trust paper for anything important in 2024. A free template on Google Docs would've saved that dude three grand easy.
