What is the quick estimate tool?

The quick estimate tool allows you to estimate a project in real time using just some simple inputs.

This is not the same as a price quote, since it doesn't take into account all the actual dimensions of the space. Read more about the differences here.

How does Skipp calculate estimates?

Unlike a price quote, estimates are based only on simple inputs. You can see full details on how these are calculated here.

How do I edit an estimate before sharing with a homeowner?

Unless otherwise stated, Skipp's estimate tool shows the manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP). Skipp has cost controls to give you flexiblity in what price you're quoting to the homeowner. You can edit, hide, and manually override line items in your quote. Learn how to use cost controls here.

Can I save an estimate?

Save your work by clicking on the Save as Project button in the upper lefthand corner of your screen. Once the project is saved, you'll be able to view it later from your dashboard.

You can also print the estimate for the homeowner using the Print button in the upper righthand corner of the screen.
