PaintQuoteApp: Building the #1 Painting Quote Software Used by 2,000+ Contractors

Every day a contractor delays sending a quote costs them 15-25% in win probability. But most contractors take 3-6 hours to create a single quote, and that's just the creation time—then there's communication delays, revisions, and follow-up.

The real barriers contractors face:

• •40-60% of jobs lost to slow response time (quotes take days instead of hours)
• •25-35% lost due to unprofessional-looking quotes from basic software or hand-written estimates
• •30-40% lost from poor follow-up (quotes sent but never followed up on systematically)
• •20-30% lost due to pricing errors in calculations affecting margins and credibility
• •Invisible ROI—contractors had no data on which quotes convert or which project types are most profitable

The contractors winning in their markets aren't the biggest—they're the fastest. Response time became the competitive differentiator.

We didn't build just a quote calculator. We built a complete system that addresses every reason contractors lose jobs. PaintQuoteApp solves the time problem, the professionalism problem, the follow-up problem, and the data problem—all integrated.
