Painting estimating software
Painting estimating software
Good painting estimating software turns a walk-through into an accurate, consistent price in minutes — not an evening of spreadsheets. Here's what to look for, and how WEDO does it from a single photo.
What painting estimating software should do
At a minimum it should let you price by surface area with your own production rates, separate interior and exterior work, add prep, materials, overhead and margin, and output a clean proposal the customer can accept. The best tools keep every quote consistent so you stop under-bidding by feel.
Features that actually matter
- Photo or video estimating — capture the space once and let software detect surfaces instead of measuring by hand.
- Production-rate pricing — your real rates per task, not a generic per-square-foot number.
- Good/better/best proposals — options close more jobs.
- Estimate → contract → invoice in one place, so nothing gets re-typed.
How WEDO estimates a job
WEDO turns a photo, video or blueprint into a priced estimate automatically — it reads the surfaces, applies coats and your rates, and produces a proposal you can send on the spot. You can fine-tune anything, then convert it to a contract and invoice in the same app. Try the free calculator to see a sample estimate now.
What it costs
Estimating-only specialists often run $99–$199/month and still leave invoicing, scheduling and payments to other tools. WEDO includes estimating plus the rest of the job for a flat $19.99/month with a 14-day free trial.
