Breakaway Daily Interview with Quote This Project founder Ross DiStefano
Quote This Project is the Android app for homeowners & tradespeople.
Quote This Project app is revolutionizing the way trades people and contractors attract new customers. The app eliminates the need for expensive advertising. Instead of posting ads to attract new homeowner contracts, this app does the exact reverse. This app provides these contractors with notifications of all jobs that pertain to them as soon as a repair or new project gets posted by a homeowner in their community. This is a must have app for all contractors, skilled trades people, even for college or university students who need to make extra income. Its also a must have for the homeowner who needs a repair, housework, home improvement or renovations without searching for days for the right person to hire for their project. This app automates this entire process between contractor and homeowner with an excellent rating system as well.
Are you a homeowner looking to get work done in your home? Are you having trouble finding tradespeople who can actually help you get your project done when you want? We have all experienced how hard it is to find someone you can trust with your home projects. Your entire workday or free day can be spent on trying to find that painter, gardener, electrician, deck builder, landscaper, someone to assemble your Ikea furniture, someone to clean your windows and gutters, someone to tile your bathroom, and the list of projects could be endless! Quote This Project app helps remove the homeowner’s frustration on getting projects and repairs done at the best cost, in a timely fashion, and without wasting countless hours searching through internet ads.
On the flip side, the app was designed to help skilled people search for repairs, projects, small to large renovations, and household chores without spending a huge amount of time and money for advertising. Quote This Project makes it simple to find new jobs that match your working area, your expertise, and your schedule! Choose the jobs that you wish to work on. Simply define your skill-set & expertise, and your working radius. The app will notify you once a job matches your criteria and you can connect directly with the homeowner over the app.
“The app is very unique where it helps both homeowner and tradespeople,” Founder Ross DiStefano told Breakaway Daily. “No need to call everyone you know, like friends and family, asking for someone to get your repair or project done, or searching through a tremendous amount of online ads. You simply post your project or what you need to get done around the home and wait for responses,” DiStefano explains.
“Tradespeople will no longer have to do expensive advertising that could be looked over, and flyers that just end up in the trash,” he continues. “Tradespeople will get notified when projects or repairs get posted that fall within their skill level. Instead of searching for work, we deliver the notifications to them. This relieves the stress for homeowners and provides the tradespeople with multiple projects or repairs to choose from. Tradespeople and homeowners don’t have to look for each other. They will come together through the convenience of Quote This Project.”
BREAKAWAY DAILY: What are some of the app features?
ROSS: This app helps with unemployment. This app provides skilled people the opportunity to make additional income without spending thousands on marketing and advertising their trade. It keeps tradespeople working in their own community. Homeowner posts their project or repair and get it done on time without speaking, interviewing and making several appointments for tradespeople to visit their home. Homeowner can add pictures, description and desired date of project completion. The homeowner does not have to give out their home address or phone number. All communication is done over the app; homeowners and tradespeople can communicate over the chat feature. Homeowners are able to rate and comment on the tradespeople they hire. There are over eighty-four trades categories to choose. From attic cleaning, deck building, snow removal to pest removal, home IT support, IKEA furniture assembly, electrical, plumbing and much more to choose from. Tradespeople will be notified instantly when homeowners post their projects or repairs.
BREAKAWAY DAILY: What prompted you to develop this app?
ROSS: I was working on my landscaping in my backyard. I hurt my back laying flagstone and decided to "Google" landscapers in my community. After three days of phoning everyone listed and asking family and friends for landscapers to help finish the flagstone project, I decided to take action!
BREAKAWAY DAILY: Is the app free?
ROSS: The app is free for homeowners and there is a small fee of $4.99 per month for tradespeople or $50 per year. This allows tradespeople or anyone who is interested in responding to homeowner projects or repairs to see all projects being posted in their community.
BREAKAWAY DAILY: Can you talk about the app’s referral program:
ROSS: The app also pays for referrals. Anyone who refers a tradesperson, and they successfully register on the app, will receive $25.
BREAKAWAY DAILY: Can people use this app from anywhere in the world?
ROSS: We currently offer the app in North America, Australia, and the UK.
