About
PaintScout replaces the painting estimator's spreadsheet with production rates the contractor sets once and reuses on every bid: walk the job, build the estimate on a phone or tablet, and hand the customer a proposal they can sign on the spot. Beyond the estimate it covers bid management, change orders, invoicing and an accounting integration, and the whole thing runs from any device rather than requiring an office visit to finish a quote. A 14-day free trial with no card required is the self-serve entry point.
Use Cases
- Building an on-site estimate from set production rates
- Sending a signable proposal before leaving the job
- Tracking change orders on an in-progress paint job
- Running the whole sales pipeline from a phone
