Write It Down Once, Where It Belongs

The estimate is where the job is defined. PaintingBossPro gives every detail its own field so it can follow the job to the crew and the invoice.

  • Pick services from your list with their prices
  • Check off the areas: rooms, ceilings, trim, doors, cabinets, siding
  • Square feet, interior or exterior, coats and sheen
  • The surface and the brand and color codes
  • The prep: patch, sand, caulk, prime, scrape, pressure wash
  • Access notes for the crew

Most Painting Estimates Die in a Folder

A painting estimate takes an hour to walk and write. Then it sits. The customer meant to answer and forgot, the estimate is in a truck, and the details are in a notebook nobody else can read.

No follow-up

Nobody has time to call every open estimate. Automatic follow-up texts do it for you.

Details get retyped

When the job is booked, someone rewrites the rooms and colors. Approved estimates become the job instead.

Prices drift

Every estimator prices a little differently. A shared service list keeps them consistent.

Hard to approve

Customers want to say yes from their phone. A link and one click does it.

Approved Means Scheduled, Not Retyped

When the customer approves, the job lands on the Waiting List with the rooms, coats, sheen, colors and prep from the estimate. The office books a crew, and the painter sees exactly what was sold.

  • Approved estimates become jobs automatically
  • Every detail carries over to the crew app
  • Extras sold later go on the invoice as their own lines
  • Estimate history stays on the address for next time

Painting Estimate Software — Common Questions

Can I price by room and by square foot?

Yes. Services can have a set price per room, or be priced from the square feet saved on the property. Many painters use both: room prices for small jobs, square-foot rates for whole-house work.

How do follow-ups work?

If a customer has not answered an estimate, three follow-up texts go out on their own, spaced out. They stop as soon as the customer approves.

What happens when the customer approves?

The estimate becomes the job on the Waiting List with every detail carried over: the areas, square feet, coats, sheen, surface, colors and prep.

Can my painters write estimates?

Yes, if you turn it on for them. Trusted painters can write and send estimates from the crew app, even without signal; they send when the phone reconnects.

Estimates are the first step. Scheduling, the crew app and invoicing take it from there. See the full PaintingBossPro platform overview.
