Painting Estimating and Invoicing App
Create painting estimates, invoice customers, collect payments, and keep color notes, photos, and project details organized for every job.
Who this workflow fits
Good fit
Painting contractors quoting interior, exterior, cabinet, and commercial repaint work where prep, color notes, and scope photos belong with the job.
Usually not the right tool
High-volume production shops that price almost everything on flat per-room rates without scoped line items or change documentation.
Quote to paid invoice
Keep the job record in one place
Small contractors lose margin when the quote, invoice, photos, and payment trail live in different apps. Dave connects those pieces so follow-ups are faster and customers see a consistent paper trail.
