Customize Your Estimate Cover Page

Would you like to customize your estimates to reflect your business name and contact information? Now you can! Customize the cover page for all of your future estimates or for just one estimate by simply modifying the HomeTech ADVANTAGE “default” or “estimate” Cover Page and saving your modifications for future use!

There are two areas in the software where you can modify cover pages:

“Default” Cover Page
The “default” cover page applies to all future estimates you create. Modifying your “default” cover page saves time from having to modify each individual estimate cover page. Modifying the “default” cover page does not affect the cover pages of existing estimates that have already been created.

Estimate Cover Page
Modify your estimate cover page if you want the changes to apply only to the open estimate. Modifying a specific estimate cover page does not affect the “default” cover page.
