The Paint Estimator
Estimating Software for Painting Contractors.
For Microsoft Windows Only
As a painting contractor myself for over 30 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 performed close to 2000 estimates over the years. 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.

The Paint Estimator is more than just a program to create estimates.
The Paint Estimator comes with a lot of good features besides just generating estimates and proposals. It helps when you can access important data to help with making good future decisions. What works? what’s not working and so on. Things like your closing rates based on the type of referrals to seeing how your employees are doing. These things matter to make the best decisions for your painting company.
Meaningful Data
View charts to see monthly income vs overhead, employee pay, and materials. Where your jobs are coming from, estimates performed vs estimates sold, and yearly sales.
Expense Data
With The Paint Estimators expense register, you can view all kinds of data, from how much you paid a certain vendor for a specific time frame, to how much a specific employee received in one year. A few charts where you can see month to month or yearly sales data. Gross sales, net profit, overhead and materials purchased. All useful data that can help down the road.
Reports & Documents
From change orders, work orders, employee reports to creating custom reports on the customer’s database page. All the reports can be easily printed, exported to PDF and in many cases exported to Microsoft Word and Open Office.
Progress Page
The progress page is a pretty cool feature for those jobs that are several weeks or longer. It lets you know where you stand by inputting the percentage of how much has been finished for a specific task in your estimate. Are you behind schedule? Ahead? Just more good info to help make good decisions.
Production Rate Recorder
Some people just don't have a list of historical production rates. This program comes with a real easy to use live recorder that will make it easy to get rates.
Calendar
Comes with a real nice calendar to schedule all your jobs, appointments and what ever else you might have going on. You can sync this calendar with your Google calendar. This is nice as you can set reminders where you will get notifications on your phone while you are out in the field.
