The leak takes an hour. The estimate takes your evening.
Plumbing is priced in the van, on the phone, or not at all — and the margin leaks out through the gaps.
Every job priced from memory
A water heater swap, a slow drain and a full repipe all start life as “about a couple of hours”. Only one of them actually is.
The crawl space you didn't charge for
Work behind a wall or under the floor takes longer and hurts more. If it isn't on the estimate, it's on you.
Tiles and drywall nobody excluded
You opened the wall to fix the pipe. Now the customer expects you to close it, tile it and match the grout — because nobody wrote that you wouldn't.
Emergency calls at daytime rates
The Sunday-night burst pipe went out at the same hourly rate as a Tuesday tap washer, because there was no time to think about it.
Say the job. Get the hours priced against the rate card.
Paganki prices plumbing by the hour — and knows a water heater or a repipe isn't a tap washer.
Describe it like you'd tell your apprentice
“Replace a 50-gallon water heater in the basement, about four hours, tight access, parts included.” AI detects plumbing and pulls out the service type — repair, installation, drain cleaning, water heater, repipe, leak detection or fixture replacement — the hours, fixtures, access and urgency.
The hourly rate does the math
About $70, $105 and $160 an hour across budget, recommended and premium on the default rate card, with a $150 minimum. Water heaters add ~30%, repipes ~40%, leak detection ~15% and difficult access ~20%. Rush adds ~25% and emergency ~50%. Rules only — the AI never sets a price. Set your own rates in Settings → Rates.
AI writes the scope — and what you're not touching
Permit fees, making good walls, tiles or floors after opening them, fixtures unless included, sewer-line excavation and existing water damage are written out as exclusions in plain language. Review, send, and turn it into an invoice when they say yes.
AI reads the job and writes the document. Rules do the math from your rates plus standard adjustments — the AI never sets a price.
Estimate from the van, get paid before you leave
Hourly pricing, urgency and exclusions handled by rules — so the busy weeks don't eat your margin.
Urgency priced automatically
Rush is ~25%, emergency ~50%, applied by rule from the job description. The burst pipe at midnight is finally priced like one.
Three tiers, you choose
The same job at budget, recommended and premium hourly rates; if parts are on you, a materials line is added to all three. You choose the one to send, and can switch or edit it first.
Written workmanship warranties
List what you stand behind on the new install and what you don't; AI drafts the terms from what you listed, and you review them.
Yes becomes an invoice in one click
The accepted estimate carries the scope and hours straight into the invoice. No re-typing it at 11pm.
Estimates in five languages
English, Spanish, German, French or Italian — same rate card, same numbers.
Paid on the spot
Email the invoice with its pay link or show a QR code; the customer pays by card and you get an email and in-app alert when it clears. Stripe's standard processing fee for your country applies; no platform fee from us.
AI estimating, AI warranties and recurring billing are included in every plan. AI estimates have a monthly allowance — 3 on Freelancer (which also covers 3 invoices a month), 5 on Starter, 15 on Pro, 50 on Scale — shared with AI-written reminders if you turn those on. No add-on fees, no per-estimate charges.
