And More

The full estimating and payment toolkit

Time & Materials Billing

Bill fixed-price or true Time & Materials — your choice per job. Invoice actual hours and materials when the scope is open-ended, not just a flat number.

Change Orders

Scope changes happen. Create change orders tied to the original estimate and keep the paper trail clean.

Recurring Invoices

Set up recurring schedules for maintenance contracts. Pause, resume, or generate the next invoice on demand.

Invoice Reminders

Automatic follow-up emails on overdue invoices. Configure timing and let the system chase payment for you.

PDF Generation & Email

Generate polished PDFs for estimates and invoices. Email them directly to customers with one click.

Estimate-to-Job Conversion

Approved estimates become active jobs automatically. Line items, sections, and metadata carry over — no re-entry.

PDF Import & Parsing

Already have estimates in another tool? Upload the PDF and Painter's Log parses it into a job you can track.

Built for real jobs

Depth most tools charge extra for

Estimating and invoicing is the deepest part of the app — the kind of thing a serious contractor only misses once they need it.

1

Versioned estimates

Every status change snapshots the document, so you can always see exactly what the customer approved — and what changed since.

2

Unlock & re-open

Revise an approved estimate without losing the original or the signature trail. Re-open it cleanly, make the change, keep the record straight.

3

Payment waterfall

Deposits, partial payments, and installments match against the schedule automatically — every payment lands in the right place, no manual reconciliation.

From first estimate to final payment — one system

Stop juggling spreadsheets, email threads, and payment apps. Painter's Log handles the entire bid-to-paid workflow.
