As a painting contractor myself for over 25 years
Here’s a program that just simply makes sense
A good portion of this program has been written off of my own personal experiences. I have been a painting contractor for over 25 years now and have performed close to 2000 estimates in that time frame. I also have many friends that are painting contractors as well. Talking with them and from my own experiences, I tried to put together a software program that most painters can relate to. Include the stuff you need and leave out the stuff you don't. There are several features that have been added to the program that were from people like you who use this software. I'm always open for feedback either good or bad. So if you ever have any ideas, let me know. I can't promise anything but will take a look and see. Just simply try it out and if it works, great, if not then no biggie. I know The Paint Estimator will not be for everyone.
So if you’re in the market for estimating software for your painting business, then you should give this a try. It does not take long to set up, and before you know it, you will be creating great looking proposals with accurate prices for your customers. There are many great features that this software has to offer. Track your progress as you move along in your jobs, track where your jobs are coming from, create change orders, work orders, employee reports and much more. One of the best things of all, is it’s a onetime fee. This means you will receive lifetime updates and support without having to pay again.
A few more things worth mentioning here. You will not receive daily BS Spam emails from me like other software company's out there. This is not a Online service where you have to pay monthly fees in order to use the program. You don't need to have Microsoft Word or Excel to use this program. All you need is computer with Windows 10 or higher operating system.
