If you're doing math on the back of a paint can lid and losing money on every painting job, BidCycle invoice software fixes that — prep time, second coat, drop cloths you forgot to charge for.
Build your first Painting quote free — no credit card required"I'm spending Sundays writing quotes instead of being with my family."
"Customers ghost me after I send a quote — I have no idea if they even opened it."
"I keep underbidding because I forget to add prep time, drop cloths, or a second coat."
Walk the job, punch in the numbers, send it before you pull out of the driveway. Every line item already speaks painter.
Scraping, sanding, patching — saved as a line item with your rate. Stop forgetting prep work and eating the hours.
Quote primer separately, then bill two-coat coverage on top. No more lumping it all together and watching your margin disappear.
Track paint by gallon with brand and sheen right on the quote. Homeowner sees exactly what's going on their walls — Sherwin, Ben Moore, satin, eggshell, all of it.
The little stuff that adds up. Mask off windows, tape trim, lay drops — line item it, don't absorb it.
Price how you price. Square footage pricing for big repaints, by-the-room for interiors, hourly when it's weird. Switch per quote.
Cut in and roll the walls, then add trim, doors, and window painting as their own lines. Customer sees the breakdown — no sticker shock.
Exterior job? Drop in pressure washing before the spray vs roll decision. One quote, everything covered.
Caulk gaps, fill nail holes, swap out a rotted board — bill it on the quote so the punch list at the end isn't a fight.
Homeowner gets a link, taps Approve. No login, no app to download, no excuses. You see when they open it too — no more ghosting.
Job's done? Hit the button. Same line items, same numbers, now it's an invoice. Get paid faster, stop retyping everything.
Everything flows into QuickBooks automatically. Your bookkeeper stops calling you. You stop dreading taxes.
"I used to walk the job, drive home, then spend two hours that night writing it up in Word. Now I quote spray vs roll, prep, two-coat coverage, all of it — right from the truck before I leave the driveway. Closed three jobs last week I would've lost waiting to send the quote."— Mike, Painting contractor
Yes. Surface prep — scraping, sanding, patching — is a saved line item you can drop into any quote. Bill it separately from paint and materials, or roll it into your square footage pricing. Your call.
One click. Once the homeowner approves the quote, hit the button and the same line items — prep, primer, two-coat coverage, trim — become an invoice. No retyping. No math on a paint can lid.
It's built for solo painters and small crews. $25 a month, no contracts, no per-user nonsense. If you walk the job, write quotes, and run the brush yourself, this is for you.
