Do U Use QuickBooks 4 Estimates?
Hi everyone:
Does any of the painters here use Quickbooks contractors edition for estimates? It seems a little ridiculous. I use my own excel spreadsheet. Can anyone recommend a good estimating program that won't put a hole in my pocket? impainting

Re: Do U Use QuickBooks 4 Estimates?
Do a search here there are some programs discussed.
By the way, Quickbooks should have an estimating program this year. Does anyone know anything about it? http://quickbooks.intuit.com/commerc...00000008009602 http://www.paintestimating.com/ http://www.cprsoft.com/paintcost.htm http://www.evergreentech.net/onlinestore.html#software http://www.devwave.com/products/estimator.asp

The Quickbooks program is called easy estimate, I saw it at Staples for $89 over the weekend. It appears to be a simple spreadsheet. Heres a link to the Easy Estimate web page http://quickbooks.intuit.com/commerc...00000008009602 |

I use and can recommend the devwave estimate works pro. The program has come a long way, and if nothing else at all...at a bare minimum, it will give you very professional looking estimates, work orders, and reports very easily.
