Zeemy is one product, not 18. What changes from trade to trade is the shape of the money: a pool company bills the same accounts every month, a painter takes a deposit and invoices at the end, a junk hauler quotes in the driveway and is paid before the truck leaves. The pages linked here show how the same estimate, invoice, calendar, and client list fit each of those shapes. This page puts them side by side.
How each trade bills
Four things decide how a service business gets paid: how the job is priced, whether the customer is billed on a schedule, whether a deposit is normal, and how big the ticket is. Here is where the 18 trades land on each.

Route work and on-site quotes
Most of the trades here fall into one of two groups, and the group decides which part of Zeemy earns its keep.
Route businesses: bill on a schedule
Pools, lawns, weekly cleans, pet waste, storefront windows, dog walks, gutters twice a year, a detailer's fleet accounts. The same customers, the same amount, again and again. The money here is lost to invoices that never get sent, so every standing account goes on a recurring invoice that sends itself and reminds the late ones without a phone call.
Quote-on-site businesses: price it standing there
Junk, trees, painting, holiday lights, handyman lists, pressure washing, garage doors, appliance repair, a mobile mechanic under the hood. The job cannot be priced over the phone, so the estimate is written in the driveway from a list of services with prices already on them, approved on the customer's phone, and converted to an invoice the moment the work is done. Deposits, where the trade takes them, are invoiced on approval.
The 18 trades
A short version of each page, with a link to the full page and to the pricing guide for that trade.
Cleaning businesses
A cleaning business lives on the standing client: the same house every Friday, billed the same amount, for years. Deep cleans and move-outs are quoted once from a walkthrough. Zeemy preloads 25 cleaning packages so the first estimate takes a minute, and puts every weekly client on a recurring invoice that sends itself after each visit.

Junk removal
Junk removal is quoted by volume, in the driveway, with the customer watching. The price has to be on their phone before the first item hits the truck, and paid before the truck leaves. Zeemy preloads 25 junk removal services from single items to full loads, so the estimate is a few taps, and the invoice is one more.
Landscaping and lawn care
Lawn care is two businesses in one: a weekly mow route that should bill itself, and seasonal jobs like cleanups, mulch, and aeration that get quoted on the spot. Owners who invoice the route by hand fall a month behind by June. Zeemy puts the route on recurring invoices and keeps the seasonal quotes on the phone.

Handyman services
A handyman rarely does one thing at a house. The customer hands over a list, and the money is in quoting the whole list as separate lines so nothing gets done for free. Zeemy makes the punch list the estimate, converts it to an invoice when the last item is done, and bills the landlords who call every month on a schedule.

Pressure washing
Pressure washing is priced by the surface: house, driveway, deck, roof, fence. A good quote lists each one so the customer can add the driveway they were not going to ask about. Zeemy builds that estimate from the curb, sends it, and books the same house again next spring on a recurring invoice.

Pool service
Pool service is the purest route business there is: the same pools, every week, for a flat monthly rate, with chemicals and repairs on top. Every account belongs on a recurring invoice. Zeemy bills the route automatically, reminds the late ones automatically, and keeps the repair quotes and the filter cleanings on the same customer record.
House painting
Painting jobs run days, not hours, so the estimate is room by room and the deposit goes out the moment the customer approves. Change orders mid-job are where painters lose money. Zeemy quotes by the room, invoices the deposit on approval, and turns a color change into a second approved estimate before the brush touches the wall.

Mobile detailing
Detailers sell packages: basic, standard, premium, each priced for a car and for an SUV, with add-ons like pet hair and headlights as separate lines. Coatings and correction are quoted apart from everything else. Zeemy keeps the package list one tap away and puts the dealership with five trucks on one monthly invoice.

Pet care
Dog walkers, sitters, and mobile groomers bill small amounts often, which is exactly the kind of money that gets lost to unsent invoices and forgotten Venmo requests. Zeemy puts the three-walks-a-week client on a weekly recurring invoice, quotes the groom with its add-ons as lines, and gives every client a login to see their own visits and bills.

Carpet cleaning
Carpet cleaners price by the room and make their margin on the add-ons: pet treatment, protector, upholstery. The estimate at the front door should list the rooms and offer the add-ons as lines. Zeemy does that in a minute, invoices before the carpet is dry, and bills the office across town every quarter without anyone remembering to.

Window cleaning
Residential window cleaning is a count: windows, panes, screens, tracks, priced from the curb. The steady money is the storefront route, the same shops on the first of every month. Zeemy turns the count into an estimate on the phone and bills the route on recurring invoices so the owner is cleaning glass, not chasing checks.

Gutter cleaning
Gutter cleaning is seasonal: most of the year happens in eight weeks each fall and spring. The business that makes money signs customers up for both visits at once and bills them automatically. Zeemy prices the house by stories and feet, adds guards and repairs as lines, and puts the twice-a-year customers on a schedule.

Pet waste removal
A pet waste removal route is a hundred yards a week at a flat monthly rate, and the whole business is collecting a hundred small payments without a hundred conversations. Every client belongs on a recurring invoice with automatic reminders. Zeemy bills the route, quotes the initial cleanup by yard condition, and adds deodorizing as a line.

Holiday lighting
Holiday lighting is a ten-week season priced by the foot, with install, takedown, and storage on the same estimate and a deposit before the ladder comes off the truck. The next season is sold in January. Zeemy quotes the roofline from the driveway, invoices the deposit on approval, and keeps every customer ready to rebook.

Tree service
Tree work is the biggest ticket on this list and the hardest to quote from a phone call, so the estimate is written standing under the tree. Storm season doubles the volume overnight. Zeemy prices the removal, the stump, and the hauling as lines, takes the deposit on big jobs, and invoices before the chipper is loaded.
Appliance repair
Appliance repair starts with a diagnostic fee and ends with a quote for the part and the labor, usually on the same visit, and the fee is credited if the customer says yes. Zeemy writes that quote at the kitchen counter, shows the credit as a line, invoices when the machine runs, and bills the property managers monthly.

Garage door service
Garage door work is same-day: a spring snaps at seven in the morning and the customer cannot get the car out. The quote is service call plus parts plus labor, written in the driveway, and paid before the door closes. Zeemy keeps the parts list one tap away and turns the tune-up customers into an annual recurring invoice.

Mobile mechanic
A mobile mechanic quotes parts and labor on one estimate, gets it approved by phone before ordering the part, and gets paid in the driveway when the car starts. The contractor with five trucks wants one invoice a month. Zeemy handles the approval on the customer's phone, the invoice at the curb, and the fleet on recurring billing.

Not on the list?
You are still covered. The product is the same for a consultant as it is for a pool company: an estimate the client approves on their phone, an invoice they pay online, a calendar, a to-do list, and a client list that remembers everything. The trade pages exist because those businesses bill in particular ways and we wanted to show the fit. If you send invoices for a living, Zeemy fits.
Questions
Is Zeemy only for the trades on this page?
No. Any small business that sends an estimate or an invoice can use it: consultants, photographers, tutors, bookkeepers, personal trainers, event planners. The trade pages exist because those businesses bill in specific ways and we wanted to show exactly how Zeemy fits. The product underneath is the same for everyone.
Which trades get their services preloaded?
Cleaning businesses and junk removal accounts start with 25 priced services already in the account. Preloaded lists for the other trades are being added; until then, adding your own services takes about ten minutes and the pricing guides give you a starting price for each one.
What is the difference between a trade page and a pricing guide?
The trade page shows how Zeemy works for that business: the estimate, the calendar, the recurring billing. The pricing guide is a plain article on what to charge in 2026, with national ranges and a worked quote, and it works whether or not you use Zeemy.
Which plan do recurring invoices need?
Recurring invoices and automatic reminders are on the Mogul plan. The Free plan covers estimates, invoices, scheduling, and to-dos for up to 15 clients, which is enough to run the business for most owners starting out.
Can I request a page for my trade?
Yes. A new trade page and pricing guide go up most weeks. Email info@zeemy.com with your trade and we will put it on the list.
