Now accepting beta testers Painting Made EasyPainting business software from the first bid to the last drop.
Painting business software keeps the bid, the colour schedule, the gallons and the final invoice on one phone. Count a room once, record the brand and code, keep the lead safe record for a pre 1978 home, and send the invoice before the ladder comes down. It is in development, with Muskoka and the rest of Ontario first. Join the waitlist and we will email you when the Android test opens.
Now accepting beta testers. No card.
One room, every surface.
Wall square feet, ceiling square feet, trim, doors, brand, code, sheen, coats and gallons. The bid and the colour schedule read the same room.
No drips today. Suspicious.
Why do painting owners leave the apps they have?
Summed up from public reviews and owner forums, October 2026.
The bid eats the evening
Paintable square feet, trim, doors and cabinets are counted by hand, then typed into another app.
No one remembers the colour
The brand, code, sheen and gallons live on a can, a text or a photo roll, not on the job.
Lead safe work is a record, not a warning
A pre 1978 home needs the pamphlet, containment and cleaning verification, or the paperwork is the problem.
Extras never reach the invoice
An extra coat, a colour change or a drywall repair becomes a conversation after the work.
How does a paint job go from the first bid to paid?
Build the bid a room at a time
Add a room, type the wall and ceiling square feet, the trim linear feet and the doors. Add your paint services, such as cabinets, an exterior repaint, an hourly rate or a day rate.
Keep the colour schedule
Record the brand, product line, colour name, code, sheen, coats and gallons for each room and surface. The client signs the schedule once.
Finish and get paid
Tick the job card, add before and after photos, check the report line and send the invoice from the phone.
What do painting owners say, and what changes in the app?
Public posts from owners, quoted in their own words. The feature beside each one is built into Painting Made Easy. The app is not open yet.
An owner on r/paint
I want to use a more precise pricing model. I know paintable sq ft is used for interior and exterior walls and lids, linear footage is used for interior trim, and doors and cabinets are typically priced per door.
What the app does: A room keeps wall and ceiling square feet, trim linear feet and door count, so the bid follows the takeoff instead of a room guess.
The change: Count the surfaces once and the bid uses the same numbers.
An owner on r/paint
The dream would be to have a QR code on the can that when scanned gives a readout of every location that color and type of paint is used.
What the app does: The colour schedule keeps the brand, product line, colour name, code, sheen, coats and gallons for every room and surface.
The change: The next visit, or the next owner, knows what is on the wall before the can is opened.
An owner on r/Contractor
I would prefer to charge by the hour. This allows me to have the time and flexibility needed to do the job properly without rushing.
What the app does: The paint service list has an hourly line and a day rate beside the per room, per square foot and per wall prices.
The change: Price the small prep job and the full repaint the way you actually work.
An owner on r/Contractor
I recently got caught scraping and painting a small area on pre 1978 house. They want to meet with me and go over all the jobs I have done in pre 1978 houses last year.
What the app does: The lead safe record flags the build year and keeps the test result, pamphlet, containment, cleaning verification and firm details.
The change: The record exists before the question is asked.
An owner on r/Contractor
We got calls, did about 15 bids. But zero confirmations.
What the app does: A quote has a client link, a sent, viewed and accepted state, and a friendly reminder for an open bid.
The change: The follow up is on the quote instead of in your head.
An owner on r/paint
What software do you use to track this at your company?
What the app does: Clients, quotes, days on site, photos, the colour schedule and invoices live on the same job.
The change: One place to look when the phone rings, not four.
What is in Painting Made Easy?
These features are built and in testing. The app is not open yet.
Your own paint service list
Seventeen researched paint services plus an hourly line and a day rate. Set each price and unit: per room, per square foot, per linear foot, per wall, per door, per visit, per hour or per day. Rename any line, turn it off or add your own.
Room by room bid
A room keeps the wall area, ceiling area, trim linear feet and door count. The bid adds the surfaces from your own rates, so a tall ceiling or a colour change does not hide in a room price.
Paint rates you control
Wall, ceiling, trim, door, room, hourly and day rates, plus the square feet per gallon. Change any rate in Settings.
Colour schedule with a client sign off
Brand, product line, colour name, colour code, sheen, coats and gallons for each room and surface. The client signs once and the record stays on the job.
Lead safe record for pre 1978 homes
Flag the build year, then keep the test result, EPA pamphlet, containment, cleaning verification, certified firm and renovator details. The app warns while the record is incomplete.
Six paint checklists
Interior repaint, exterior repaint, cabinet refinish, new construction paint, colour change and lead safe RRP. Each task is a checkbox with a photo and a note.
Paint visit report fields
Rooms, surfaces, colour brand and code, sheen, coats, gallons, prep, conditions, photos, client approval and the lead record.

Change orders with a signature

Materials and receipts

Your logo and colour on every invoice, with sent, viewed and paid shown for each one.

Clients pay by Interac e-Transfer, and card payments run through the same invoice.

What do we promise painting owners?

The room by room bid, colour schedule, lead safe record, visit reports and invoices are in the plan you start on and are never moved to a higher tier. Add ons show their price first.

Painting business software questions.
What is painting business software?
Painting business software keeps the work of a painting business in one place: clients, the room by room bid, the colour schedule, the job card, photos, invoices and payments. Painting Made Easy is made for a solo painter or a small crew, and it is in development now.
How does the room by room bid work?
Add a room and type the wall square feet, ceiling square feet, trim linear feet and door count. The bid adds the surfaces from your own rates. Add paint services such as cabinets, an exterior repaint, an hourly line or a day rate. The client sees one price with tax.
Does it keep a colour schedule?
Yes. Each colour keeps the room, surface, brand, product line, colour name, colour code, sheen, coats and gallons. The schedule stays on the job and goes into the visit report.
Can the client sign the colour schedule?
Yes. The client signs off once, with their name and the date, and the signed record stays on the job. A public link is kept with the schedule so the client can open the same record.
Does it handle pre 1978 lead safe work?
Yes. The app flags the build year and keeps the test result, EPA pamphlet, containment, cleaning verification, certified firm and renovator details. It warns while the record is incomplete. The app is not legal advice; the regulator and a lawyer have the final word.
Can I charge per room, per square foot, per wall, hourly or a day rate?
Yes. The paint service list supports per room, per square foot, per linear foot, per wall, per door, per visit, per hour and per day. You set every price and can rename or remove any line.
