Why Painters Lose Jobs
The 3 Silent Revenue Killers
80%
Leads Gone After 10 Minutes
If you're on a ladder and miss that call, they've already called the next name on the list. After 10 minutes, your chance of reaching that lead drops 80%. PaintPro helps you quote instantly — before you even leave the driveway.
40hrs
Wasted on Tire-Kicker Estimates
"Drove 80 miles for an estimate. Owner wasn't even home." Sound familiar? The pre-qualifier link in PaintPro sends leads a screening form before you ever schedule a site visit — filtering price shoppers automatically.
$79
What Competitors Charge for This
PaintScout and Jobber cost $79–$149/month — bloated with features solo painters never use. PaintPro does everything you actually need — fast quotes, professional PDFs, client tracking — for $15/month or free.
How It Works
Up and Running in 10 Minutes
No developers, no contracts, no waiting. Three steps and you're quoting like a pro.
01
📐

Built-In Measuring Guide
How to Measure Any Room
You don't need to be an architect. Here's the simple process pros use to measure any space for a painting quote — in under 5 minutes per room.
1
Grab a Tape Measure or Laser
A standard 25-foot tape covers most rooms. A laser distance measure (under $30 on Amazon) saves serious time on site and eliminates guessing. It pays for itself on day one.
💡 Laser measurer = faster, more accurate quotes
2
Measure Length × Width × Height
Stand in the doorway. Measure the longest wall (length), the shortest wall (width), and the ceiling height. PaintPro uses all three to calculate paintable wall area automatically — walls, not floor area.
📐 Formula: 2 × Height × (Length + Width)
3
Add Each Room Separately
Enter one row per space in PaintPro — living room, bedroom, hallway, kitchen. The app totals everything automatically. Itemized quotes feel more professional and justify the price to customers.
4
For Exteriors: Walk the Perimeter
Measure each wall individually. Add all walls, multiply by wall height. That's your exterior square footage. Note siding type, condition, access — all affect pricing.
🏡 Example: (20+20+30+30) ft × 9 ft = 900 sq ft
5
Always Add Your Buffer — It's Your Profit
Add 20-25% to every quote. This isn't overcharging — it's accounting for prep time, tape, cleanup, and the reality that jobs always run longer than expected. That buffer IS your profit margin.
✅ PaintPro has a built-in buffer field — never forget it

Estimate Disclaimer
⚠️ What Every Quote Includes
Every quote generated in PaintPro automatically includes the following disclaimer language — protecting you from scope disputes, change order arguments, and customer misunderstandings:
"This is a preliminary estimate based on customer-provided room dimensions and is intended for budgeting purposes only. Final pricing is subject to change and will be confirmed following an in-person site visit. Actual square footage, surface conditions, number of coats required, and prep work may affect the final quote. This estimate does not constitute a contract or binding agreement."
The disclaimer also positions your site visit as a free service — not a sales call — which increases booking rates and sets professional expectations from the very first interaction.

Frequently Asked Questions
Got Questions?
Do I need a credit card to start?
+
No credit card required for the Free plan. You can create an account and start building quotes immediately — no payment info needed until you decide to upgrade to Pro or Business.
Can I cancel anytime?
+
Yes, absolutely. Cancel anytime from your account settings — no questions asked, no cancellation fees. You'll keep access to your plan until the end of your billing period.
What happens to my saved quotes if I cancel?
+
Your saved quotes are stored locally in your browser as well as on our servers. If you downgrade to Free, you can still view your existing saved quotes — you just won't be able to create new ones beyond the 3/month limit. We recommend exporting or printing important quotes before cancelling.
Is the estimate disclaimer legally binding?
+
The disclaimer language included in every PaintPro quote is designed to clearly communicate that the estimate is preliminary and not a binding contract. However, we recommend consulting a local attorney for your specific jurisdiction. The disclaimer helps set customer expectations and reduces disputes — but always follow up with a formal signed contract before beginning work.
How does the customer quote view work?
+
When you finish building a quote, click "Preview as Customer" to see exactly what your client sees — a full breakdown of costs, room-by-room scope, price range with labor and materials itemized, job specs, and a professional CTA to schedule the site visit. On Pro and Business plans, this view is sent directly to the client's email as a link.
How accurate are the estimates?
+
Estimates are as accurate as the measurements you put in. PaintPro uses industry-standard formulas: wall area calculation (2 × Height × (Length + Width)), your exact labor rate per hour, and material cost estimation based on square footage and coats. Adding the 20-25% buffer field ensures your estimates account for real-world prep and overhead. The preliminary disclaimer on every quote protects you when final prices differ.
Does PaintPro work on mobile?
+
Yes — PaintPro is fully mobile-responsive and designed to be used on your phone while standing at the customer's front door. No app download required. Open your browser, log in, and build the quote on the spot before you even leave the driveway.
What's the difference between PaintPro and PaintScout or Jobber?
+
PaintScout starts at $79/month and Jobber at $49+/month — both are feature-heavy platforms designed for larger painting companies with crews and scheduling software needs. PaintPro is purpose-built for solo contractors and small painting businesses who need fast, professional quotes with customer-facing pricing — without paying for 50 features they'll never use. PaintPro does one thing really well: get you a professional quote in your customer's hands in 60 seconds.

📐 Measuring Guide
Accurate measurements = accurate quotes = no disputes and no money left on the table
Interior Wall Formula
2 × Height × (Length + Width)
For ceilings: add L × W per room · For exterior: Perimeter × Wall Height
01
Get Your Tools
Use a laser measurer (under $30) for accuracy and speed. Never quote from memory — even experienced painters miscalculate by 15-20%.
02
Measure Every Wall
Interior: measure L × W × H per room. The app calculates paintable wall area using 2×H×(L+W). Don't round — every sq ft matters.
03
Account for Openings
Subtract: standard door (21 sqft), standard window (15 sqft). Or leave them as an extra buffer — your call.
04
Ceilings & Trim
Ceilings = floor area (L×W). Trim runs ~25% of wall area. Price them separately — easy upsells worth $200–500 extra.
05
Exterior Walkthrough
Walk full perimeter. Measure each elevation. Note siding type, condition, and access difficulty — all affect pricing.
06
Always Add Buffer
Add 20–25% to every quote. This isn't overcharging — it's your prep time, cleanup, and overhead. That buffer IS your profit.
