Frequently asked questions

Most painting companies are running in under an hour. Add customers, save your rates, quote a job and send an invoice the same day.
Yes. A job runs across as many days as it needs, with progress carrying over, tasks ticked off by phase and the crew assigned for each day.
Add the extra work to the job, send it for approval as a secure link, and the customer signs on their phone. It lands on the invoice automatically — no awkward conversation at the end.
Yes. Collect a deposit when the quote is approved and the balance on completion, both by card or ACH.
Every note, colour code and photo stays on the property record, so a touch-up call two years later doesn't turn into detective work.
Yes. The iOS and Android apps show the day's work, let crews add before-and-after photos, tick off phases and get sign-off before packing up.
