Painting lives or dies on the quote. Miss a coat, forget the prep, guess the wall area and the job eats your margin. ServicePilot lets you price by the square metre, count your coats, load your paint and sundries, then keep the crew on the right site with the right colours. From the walk-through to the final invoice, it's all in one place.
Wall area, not guesswork
Price interior, exterior, ceilings and roofs by the m², set two-coat or three-coat jobs, and stop losing money on the ones you undercooked.
Prep is where jobs blow out
Sanding, filling, gap sealing, sugar soap, undercoat and drop sheets. Line them up separately so nothing gets absorbed into "the paint".
Get paid before you pack the ladders
GST invoice on the spot, deposit up front on repaints, and card payment the day the last coat's touch dry.
Everything a painting business needs
Quote by the m²
Enter wall and ceiling areas, set your interior and exterior rates, add coats, prep and cutting-in, then send a clean quote the client accepts online with an e-signature.
Roster the crew across sites
Multi-day repaints, a new-build handover and a quick touch-up all in one week. Drop each painter onto the calendar so nobody's standing around waiting on drying time.
Deposits, progress claims & GST
Take a deposit before you buy the paint, invoice progress claims on bigger repaints, and send the GST invoice with card payment straight to your bank. Syncs to Xero.
Keep customers in the loop
Text the client the night before so the rooms are cleared and the dog's put away, then an "on my way" when you're leaving the trade centre with their colours.
Reviews while the finish is fresh
Painting is a photo trade. Ask for the Google review the moment you pull the tape and the walls look their best, so word of mouth keeps the diary full.
Colour schedules & job notes
Store the brand, colour name, sheen and coat count against each room so the second-coat day or the warranty callback isn't a guessing game.
Built for the jobs you do
Start from a ready-made painters price list. Prep, sugar soap, filler, undercoat, two-coat and three-coat rates, drop sheets and tape all pre-loaded, so you're quoting on day one.
Painters - questions
Can I quote by square metre?+
Yes. Set per-m² rates for interior walls, exteriors, ceilings and roofs, add coat counts and separate line items for prep, undercoat and cutting-in, then build a full quote in a few minutes.
Can customers accept quotes online?+
Yes. Quotes go out as a link the client opens on their phone and accepts with an e-signature, so the repaint is locked in before you buy the paint.
