Frequently Asked Questions

How can we estimate paint jobs and send quotes from the field?

Technicians measure square footage on-site, select materials and labor rates in the app, and email a professional quote to the homeowner before leaving.

How do we schedule painting crews across residential and commercial jobs?

The dispatch board shows all crews and job durations. Drag to assign multi-day projects, and the system prevents crew conflicts across overlapping jobs.

Can the app track paint colors and product specs per job?

Yes. Attach color codes, sheen levels, and brand specs as notes or custom fields on any job. Crews see the exact paint details before purchasing materials.

How do we handle weather-related rescheduling for exterior paint jobs?

Open the job, update the date, and the crew receives a push notification. The calendar shifts automatically without disturbing other scheduled work.

Can clients approve color selections digitally before work begins?

Yes. Attach color swatches or digital mock-ups to the job and request client sign-off via the customer portal. Approval is logged with a timestamp.

How do we manage material purchasing and track paint costs per project?

Log material purchases against each job. The system totals material costs, compares them to the estimate, and shows margin in real time as the job progresses.

What does painting business scheduling software cost?

$5 per employee per month. Solo painters and two-person crews pay nothing. Every account gets a 55-day free trial to handle quotes, scheduling, and invoicing.
