Paint more, chase paperwork less
Square footage, coat counts, and color changes shouldn't eat your evenings. Estimate fast, lock in change orders before you lift a brush, and prove every room with before-and-after photos.
“Change orders used to evaporate because I'd forget to write them up. Now I log the color change before I even open the can and it's on the invoice.”
Built to win more change orders — log every color and scope change the moment it happens instead of forgetting to bill it.

The daily reality
The painter's grind today
The friction that costs you margin, hours, and the next good night's sleep — and exactly what we built to kill it.
Square-foot estimating is slow and inconsistent
Every estimate means re-measuring rooms, guessing coat counts for a dark-to-light cover, and pricing trim separately — by hand, every time, with no rate card to lean on.
Color and spec changes go unbilled
The homeowner switches from eggshell to a custom color halfway through, or adds the ceiling, and you do the extra work without ever capturing the change order. That's pure margin gone.
Multi-room crews step on each other
You've got two crews across three houses and a punch list per room, but the schedule lives in your head — so somebody primes a wall that was supposed to get wallpaper.
Deposits and progress draws are awkward
On a big interior repaint you need a deposit to buy paint and a progress draw at the halfway point, but you're asking for checks verbally and waiting days to get them.
Before-and-after proof gets lost
The transformation is your best marketing and your best defense against a complaint — but the photos sit on a phone, unlabeled, with no link to the job they showcase.
Built for your workflow
One app for how painters actually work
Every ContractorsChat feature, reframed for the job in front of you — quotes, crew chat, timeclock, payments, and job-cost tracking that fits your trade.
Per-square-foot & coat estimating
Build estimates from a rate card with square-foot rates, coat counts, and separate trim pricing baked in. Quote a whole-house repaint in minutes, consistently.
Color & spec change orders
When the homeowner changes the color or adds the ceiling, log a change order on the spot. The extra scope gets billed instead of quietly eating your margin.
Multi-room crew scheduling
Assign crews per room and per house with a punch list each, so nobody primes a wall that was supposed to get wallpaper and every room gets closed out clean.
Deposits & progress draws
Invoice a deposit to cover paint up front and a progress draw at the midpoint — connect your own Stripe to get paid from a link — so you're never floating material costs on your own card.
Before-and-after photo proof
Attach before and after shots to each job and room. Your best marketing and your defense against a callback are organized and one tap away.
Crew chat by job
Send the crew the color codes, the rooms in scope, and a photo of the cut-in line — threaded to the job so nobody's working off a week-old text.
