Painters

For painters, the estimate is the sale.

JobStack is a CRM for painting contractors built around the quote. The painter who sends a clear, detailed estimate first usually wins the job — so JobStack helps you draft itemized estimates on site, collect a deposit, and chase the bids you're still waiting on. Plans run $29–$99/month and set up in minutes.

Homeowners get three bids. Yours should be the one that's fast, detailed, and easy to say yes to.

From walkthrough to paid, in five steps

1

Walk the job

Voice-note the rooms, surfaces, and prep as you go. No clipboard, no forgetting the trim.

2

Send the estimate

JobStack drafts an itemized quote from your pricing while you're still in the driveway.

3

Collect a deposit

Homeowner approves and pays a deposit online before you buy a single gallon.

4

Do the work

Schedule it, text the customer their start window, keep the job notes attached.

5

Get paid

Convert the estimate to a final invoice in one tap and take the balance on the spot.

What a winning paint estimate includes

  • Room-by-room and surface-by-surface line items
  • Prep work called out separately (it's where margin hides)
  • Number of coats and paint grade
  • Materials vs. labor split
  • Deposit amount and payment terms

Which plan a painter wants

Start on Solo Pro ($29/mo) for jobs, estimates, deposits, and invoicing. Most painters move up to AI Assistant ($59/mo) for one reason: voice-to-estimate. Talk through the job as you walk it and the estimate writes itself — that speed is what closes bids. Small Crew ($99/mo) adds up to five painters and team scheduling.

Win more bids. Buy less back-office.

Painting business FAQs

Can JobStack build detailed estimates broken down by room and surface?
Yes. You can itemize a quote by room, surface, prep, and coats, so the homeowner sees exactly what they're paying for — which is what wins the job over a one-line competitor bid.
Can I collect a deposit before I buy paint?
Yes. Painting jobs carry real material cost up front, so JobStack lets you take a deposit on the approved estimate before you start, with the balance invoiced on completion.
What happens to estimates I send but don't hear back on?
They're the jobs most painters lose. JobStack tracks pending estimates and follows up automatically, so a bid doesn't go cold just because you got busy on another job.
Can it remind past customers it's time to repaint?
Yes. Exterior repaints run on a cycle. JobStack keeps your customer history and can prompt you to reach back out, turning a job from three years ago into a new one.
Is it worth it for a solo painter?
Yes — the Solo Pro plan is $29/month. If you want the AI to draft estimates from a voice note as you walk the job, the $59 AI Assistant plan usually pays for itself on the first bid it helps you win.
