BUILT FOR PAINTERS

The painting estimate app that gets you home by dinner

Walk the rooms, talk what you see, and a priced estimate is drafted before you reach the truck, walls, ceilings, trim, and the two coats they always forget they asked for.

Made for the way painters actually bid

Everything below is included or one tap away, no modules, no add-on pricing, no sales calls.

🎤

Room-by-room walkthrough

Talk while you walk, "master bedroom, walls and ceiling, patch the water stain", and the AI organizes it by room with prices. (Pro & Crew)

🥇

One coat / two coat / premium

Good, Better, Best tiers in one tap: standard repaint, premium paint, full prep and primer. Options close jobs.

📸

Color notes that stick

Attach photos and paint codes to the estimate, six months later when they want the hallway touched up, it is all on record.

✍️

Deposit before you buy paint

Signed on their phone, deposit paid by card, so the paint run goes on their money, not yours.

±

Change orders, signed

"While you are here, could you also do the hallway?", one tap writes it up, they sign it, nobody argues at the final bill.

🔁

Repeat customers on tap

Past clients one email blast away when the season slows down. Your book of business is the business.

How painting pricing actually works

Interior painting math starts with wall area: room perimeter times ceiling height, minus openings. A 12 by 14 bedroom with 8 foot ceilings is about 416 square feet of wall before subtracting the door and windows. A gallon covers roughly 350 square feet per coat, and two coats is the standard, so that bedroom is about 2.5 gallons of wall paint before ceilings and trim. Painters price per square foot for walls and ceilings, and per unit for doors, windows, and trim runs, because trim is slow, careful work that square-foot pricing undercharges.

The estimate lines that separate professionals: surface prep and patching as its own line (customers understand paying for fixing walls once it is written down), primer where color change or stains demand it, and a stated number of coats. Dark-to-light color changes can take a third coat, and the time to say so is in the estimate, not at the kitchen counter on the last day.

SayEstimate's price book holds your rates in exactly these units, and the AI estimating on Pro and Crew drafts line items that show the quantity, the unit, and the math. Prefer paper? The free estimate template is here.
