A clear number at the panel is how upgrades get sold

A flickering-lights call is worth $95. The same visit with a signed upgrade estimate is worth $2,450. The difference is whether the homeowner sees a real number before you pack up.

  1. Step 1

    Build it from saved items

    Service call, panel, materials, permit fee — tap your saved prices, adjust quantities, add tax.

  2. Step 2

    They sign on your phone

    Hand over the phone for a signature, or send the estimate and let them approve it from theirs.

  3. Step 3

    Job and invoice from the same estimate

    Schedule the upgrade and, when it's done, create the invoice from what they approved.

Want to offer a cheaper repair too? Send it as a second estimate — the customer approves the one they want.

The ladder every service call can climb

Saved items at every rung, so the bigger number is always four taps away.

Notes and photos on the job

Permit numbers and panel photos live on the job — not in your head.

Write the permit and inspection details in the job notes and attach your panel photos. When the inspector calls, or you're back for the EV charger, it's where the work happened.

Without it

“Let me get a couple more bids” — and the $2,450 goes to whoever emailed a number first.

What electricians ask before they switch

Can I offer good / better / best?

Not as selectable options inside one estimate yet. Send a separate estimate for each option and the customer approves the one they want.

Where do permit numbers live?

In the job notes, with panel and nameplate photos attached to the job.

Hourly and flat-rate together?

Yes — mix hourly labor lines with flat-rate items on the same estimate.

Does it do load calculations?

No. Scope handles the paperwork around the job, not the engineering inside it.

Other trades

Quote the upgrade before you close the panel.

Free while Scope is in beta. Five minutes to set up, and your next service call ends with a signed upgrade estimate.
