Guessing paint gallons and prep hours from memory
Forgetting closets, ceilings, or that second coat on the quote
Typing up proposals at night after a full day on the ladder

How it works

Save the client and property

Keep contacts, the site address and project name with the estimate.

Price the scope

Use your rates and price book. Type line items or add voice notes and photos, then review the draft.

Send the proposal for approval

Share one clear scope and price by email or SMS. Clients review and sign online.

Invoice and track payment

Convert the proposal to an invoice, track deposits and balances, and offer connected Stripe card payments.

What to look for in painter estimating software

A price book you control — your paint prices, your prep rates, your markup — not generic national averages
Speed on site: a full estimate built from a 60-second walkthrough, not a form you fill out back at the office
Built-in e-signature so the homeowner can approve on your phone before you pack up the drop cloths
Room-by-room line items, so adding a closet or a second coat never means rewriting the quote

A real walkthrough, priced

“Three bedrooms and a hallway, walls and ceilings, two coats, plus trim and six doors. Minor drywall patching in the master.”

Record the walkthrough once. Quote Commander prices gallons, prep, and labor at your rates and sends a proposal the client can sign from their phone.

Beyond the estimate

Keep client contact details and property addresses, send signed proposals and invoices, track deposits and card payments, and sync supported records to QuickBooks Online. Jobs, scheduling, crew tasks and job costing are new in preview.
