For painting contractors

CRM for painting contractors

Painting is a volume business: many small quotes, short jobs, and a season that does not wait. WorkTime CRM answers the lead while you are on a ladder, drafts the quote from photos of the rooms, and tells you which jobs are signed, scheduled and paid.

Where the day goes โ€” and what changes

Three things that cost you jobs or evenings, and the tool in the app that deals with each.

01 / 03

Ten quotes a week, three of them real

Requests from the WorkTime directory arrive with interior or exterior, what is being painted and how many rooms. You see at a glance which ones are worth a visit.

Drag a card to the next stage โ€” or let a booked visit move it for you. An estimate the client hasnโ€™t answered gets a follow-up email on its own, and you see the moment they open it.

The phone rings while your hands are full

The AI phone assistant picks up when you cannot, asks about the job and books the visit. It runs on your own phone accounts, which you pay for separately.

FAQ

Questions painting contractors ask

Can I quote from photos a customer sends me?

Yes. The AI estimate works from photos or from a text description; you review every line before it goes out.

How do I keep track of crews on different houses?

Each job has its own calendar and tasks. Crew members check in at the address from their phone and their hours are recorded on that job.

Is it only for big painting companies?

No. The price is the same for one painter or a company with several crews: $99 a month per company, team members included, first month free with a card on file.
