PaintWiser provides estimating, booking, invoicing, and customer pipeline tools for painting contractors. Its estimate builder uses room measurements and a contractor’s own rates, paint systems, and target margin to calculate area, labor hours, paint gallons, and job prices. For exterior jobs, contractors enter map-measured area, eaves and trim in linear feet, and counts of doors and windows. Branded PDF quotes can include optional add-ons, go by email or text, and be approved online. Approved estimates can become invoices, with deposits and partial payments tracked against the balance. The customer pipeline links properties, quotes, jobs, and invoices, and records lead sources and follow-up reminders. Customers can book estimate slots through a branded link, with a code confirmation before a booking becomes a lead. Once opened, the app can support measuring, pricing, room details, and photos offline; changes sync when connectivity returns. PaintWiser runs in a browser and can be installed on Android and desktop or added to an iPhone or iPad Home Screen. The free plan allows 20 quotes per month. Solo costs 19.00 USD per month and Crew costs 49.00 USD per month.
Who it is for
PaintWiser suits painting contractors who need to prepare estimates, schedule visits, invoice customers, and track jobs. Crew may suit contractors who want estimators to access assigned customers and jobs while administrators retain invoicing.
