The Back Office Your Painting Company Is Missing
Interior, exterior, commercial, residential. Every project tracked at the job level with real labor costs, not estimates.
You Know Your Trade. You Shouldn't Have to Know Accounting Too.
Painting is a labor-intensive trade where margins are won or lost on crew productivity. A job bid at 35% margin can easily slip to 20% if prep takes longer than expected or weather delays push the timeline. Without job-level cost tracking that connects actual labor hours to specific projects, you won't see the slippage until it's too late.
The difference between a profitable painting company and one that's just busy is job-level visibility: knowing which project types, which crew combinations, and which customer segments actually make money. We build that visibility.
