Saturday,
it's the driveway.

Frequently asked questions
What is SideWRK?
SideWRK is an all-in-one app for blue-collar side work. From your phone you manage customers, build estimates, send branded invoices, record payments, attach photos, and track your real profit on every job — whatever trade you run.
Which trades does SideWRK support?
42 trades are live today — mechanic, small engine, HVAC, electrician, plumber, roofing, concrete, masonry, painting, drywall, flooring, landscaping, tree service, fencing, handyman, heavy equipment, detailing, pressure washing, appliance repair, garage door, locksmith, pool service, house cleaning, carpet & upholstery cleaning, pest control, mobile pet grooming, and more. Each trade gets its own vocabulary, the right thing-you're-working-on to log, and the right pricing tools — all on the same estimate → approve → get-paid engine.
Can I run more than one trade?
Yes — that's the whole idea. With the Multi-Trade plan every trade is unlocked and you switch between them in a tap, sharing one customer list. Fix mowers in spring, plow in winter, wrench on cars, do handyman work year-round — one subscription, one app.
Can customers approve estimates from their phone?
Yes. You send a branded link; the customer reviews the estimate and photos and taps Approve. The approval is recorded with their name, the time, and the amount — and if you add work later, they're asked to authorize the new total.
Does it keep a paper trail on every job?
Yes. Your business name, logo, and license/permit number print on every estimate and invoice, alongside itemized labor and materials, the job details, photos, and a logged authorization record for every customer approval. It gives you the tools to document your work thoroughly — it doesn't determine or guarantee compliance with any law or regulation, and isn't legal advice.
How much does SideWRK cost?
Single Trade is $24/month for one trade; Multi-Trade is $39/month for every trade plus the in-app switcher — both include up to 100 clients. Pro is $89/month for high-volume operators: unlimited clients, plus your external review links (Google, Yelp & more) on your public page. Every plan starts with 14 free days — no card required. You're only charged after you pick a plan. There's no permanent free tier.
Do I need to install anything?
No. SideWRK runs in any modern phone or laptop browser — just open sidewrk.app and sign in. You can add it to your home screen for one-tap access.
Does it track my real profit?
Yes. Every part or material can carry a private "your cost" that the customer never sees, so the Money tab shows your true profit on each job — not just revenue.
