Built for painting companies doing $1M–$5M
Painting is a quoting business — lots of estimates, lots of follow-up, a short window when the customer is deciding. We build the tools that quote fast and follow up so more of those decisions go your way.
Built in two weeks. $1,500 to $6,000. No retainers, no long contracts — and a real person who knows your world.
Where the time goes
You didn't get into this business to live on the phone or write quotes at midnight. These are the things we hear about on almost every first call with an owner in Painting.
If two or three of these sound familiar, there's a tool worth building.
What we'd build for you
Not a chatbot with a monthly fee. Small, reliable tools that do a specific job inside the workflow you already run — so your team is free for the work that grows the business.
Lead capture
Every inquiry gets an instant reply, the job scoped — interior or exterior, square footage, surfaces — and a walk-through booked, so the estimate pipeline stays full.
Built on the tools you already run — you own it at launch.
Sales follow-up
Every estimate gets a polite, well-timed follow-up while the customer is still deciding — the difference between a 30% and a 50% close rate.
Live in 1–2 weeks, with 30 days of tuning included.
Back-office
From your walk-through notes, it drafts a clean estimate — prep, coats, materials, labor — so quotes go out the same day instead of two days later.
A real person walks your team through it — no manual to read.
Daily brief
One text each morning: today's jobs, crew assignments, materials to load, and yesterday's numbers.
Quietly pays for itself, then runs without you watching it.
What this looks like
These are illustrative examples of the kind of change these tools make — not named clients. The dollar and time figures are realistic, plain-English estimates of typical impact.
Estimates went out and then sat; no one tracked which prospects had gone cold.
Every open quote followed up automatically while the customer was still deciding.
Representative result: a meaningful lift in quote-to-close rate with no extra owner effort.
Quotes were written after-hours and often went out two days late.
Drafts ready for a quick review right after the walk-through.
Representative result: same-day quotes and more jobs won on speed.

Common questions
Yes. The follow-ups are polite, well-timed, and written in your voice. Most owners review the cadence once and let it run — it just makes sure no quote is forgotten.
Yes. It scopes each inquiry by job type, square footage, and surfaces, and drafts estimates accordingly.
Yes. We build on top of whatever you use to track leads and estimates.
We'll tell you. Honestly — plenty of our first calls end with us saying “you don't need AI for that, you need a better process” or “this is a $200 Zapier zap, not a $5k build.” We make our money on great fits, not by selling everyone an automation. The 15-minute call is free either way.
Every build has approval gates wherever the stakes are real — sending a customer message, processing a payment, booking a job. The tool drafts, you approve. For the first 30 days after launch we monitor it daily and fix anything that drifts. After that you can keep us on retainer or take it fully in-house — your call.
