Software for painting and decorating contractors

From one house to a block of apartments: price the work room by room, put painters where they are needed and invoice the deposit and the final from the estimate the client accepted.

How it works for you

Estimates room by room

Use a heading per room or per floor, and tick section subtotals to print a subtotal for each. Walls and ceilings in m², skirting and architrave in metres, doors as each: every price list line has its own unit.

Deposit and final from the estimate

Mark an estimate accepted and turn it into a deposit invoice (30% unless you change it) and later the final invoice. Each invoice gets the next number in a series without gaps; email it to the client and follow it to paid.

The invoices list

Painters on the calendar, hours on the phone

Deploy painters to a job day by day. They see their week in the crew app, log their hours there, and the office approves the weeks of employees or sends them back.

Crew Time, the submitted weeks of hours

Snags before handover

Walk the job with the client, record each snag with a photo and follow it until it is fixed. The completion report shows the work, the snags and the photos in one PDF, signed on a phone.

Questions

Can I quote per room?

Yes. Put a heading for each room and its lines under it. With section subtotals switched on, each room shows its own subtotal on the estimate.

Can the client pay in parts?

Yes. Record each part payment with its date and method; the invoice moves from Sent to Part paid to Paid.

Do my painters need a separate app?

No. The crew app opens in the phone's browser with the same login. They see where they are this week, log their hours and follow their snags.

Can I use my own words on the screens?

Some of them. Words such as the tax name or the word for crew can be changed in Settings, and issued documents keep the words they were issued with.
