Your day-one toolkit
Most new painters cobble this together with a text thread, a notebook, and cash — and it works right up until it doesn't. Start clean instead.
A clean, e-signable quote that lands in the customer's inbox the same day — and makes you look like a real business from job number one.
Clock your hours, snap receipts onto the right job, and keep every record in one place — so you always know what a job actually cost.
Take a deposit, bill on a schedule, and let customers pay online — so the cash shows up while you're still working, not weeks later.
The edge no other new painter has
Anyone can collect a check. Almost no new painter can tell you whether the job actually made money once labor and materials are counted honestly. Track from day one and you'll know — which is exactly how a side hustle becomes a business that lasts.
Try the free “Did I make money?” calculatorRun your whole business on the free plan, for as long as you want. There's no 14-day clock and no credit card. We only make money when you do: 1% on payments while you're free, 0% once you're on Pro.
