About

Built from the Job Site Up

Painter's Log isn't a Silicon Valley guess at what tradespeople need. It's the tool a working painter built because nothing else existed.

The Founder

This isn't market research. It's lived experience.

Kevin Spahn
Founder & CEO

Kevin is the owner-operator of Paintcrafters LLC in Wayzata, MN. He built a successful painting business from the ground up and lived every pain point this product solves — pricing jobs by gut, losing track of hours, and spending evenings on admin instead of with family.

He built Painter's Log because no one else was going to. The trades need tools built by someone who has actually done the work, not another SaaS company that's never held a brush.

“I'm building the tool that I wish I had when I was starting out on my own as a painting contractor, trying to figure things out on the fly. Every feature comes from a real problem I faced along the way.”

Our Mission

Built for contractors who'd rather be on the job than behind a desk.

Your tools should work around your day, not the other way around. Painter's Log tracks what matters automatically so you can focus on the work.

What We Believe

Principles that guide the product.

Field-First

Every feature is designed for someone with paint on their hands, not someone at a desk.

Automatic Over Manual

If it can be tracked automatically, it should be. Time, location, materials — no extra taps.

Data You Can Use

Not dashboards for the sake of dashboards. Insights that directly help you price better and earn more.

Accessible Pricing

Enterprise intelligence shouldn't require an enterprise budget. Built for the 75% who use nothing.

Voice Over Typing

Your hands are busy. Speak naturally and let AI handle the structure and tagging.

Built in the Open

Real feedback from real tradespeople shapes every release. No ivory tower product decisions.
