Business Email for Contractors & Trades: Win More Jobs with a Pro Inbox

Plumbers, electricians, and builders — why estimates@ on your domain beats texting from a personal number alone.

Part of the collection Business email, industry by industry

Homeowners Google your company name after you leave an estimate. A website plus hello@yourcompany.com reinforces that you are established — not a fly-by-night operator.

Quick setup path

Register yourcompany.com (if needed)
Create OquMail workspace — free
Add MX records at your DNS host
Create estimates@ and your name@ mailboxes
Print the address on trucks and invoices

Want to see how your own domain is set up? Use the free MX lookup: it runs in your browser and stores nothing.
