Painting contractor software, from the walk-through to the invoice
Zeus is painting contractor software for residential and commercial painters in Canada, the United States, Australia and New Zealand. Measure the rooms on the walk-through. Price them out of your own rates per square foot or per square meter. Photograph every wall before the drop cloths go down, and invoice the job the day the last coat is dry.
Painting
The everyday problems, solved
A repaint quote is half measuring and half guessing, and the guessing is where the margin goes. Keep your own prices per square foot, per square meter or per room in the Price Book, build the quote out of them on the walk-through, and send it before you leave the driveway.
The client swears the crack above the door was not there before you started. Photograph every wall before prep and again after the last coat. Zeus matches each photo to the job using where you took it, and files it once you confirm.
Two years later they call about the back bedroom. Every address keeps its own record of what you did there, so the colors and rooms you noted last time are in front of you before you quote the next one.
