How a Painting Day Runs on Autopilot

The same system, told the way the work actually happens: from the first estimate request to the final coat to the money in your account.

1Book the job

Every call and click becomes a walkthrough on the books

Homeowners request estimates online with room counts and photos, day or night. When the phone rings, you see who's calling with every estimate and job on file, and every call is recorded. Miss one on the sprayer? Autopilot texts them back before they call the next painter.

2Plan the week

Multi-day jobs and walkthroughs, one calendar

The weekly overview shows the two-day interior your crew is on, the exterior starting Thursday, and the walkthroughs slotted between them. Everyone knows which house they're at before the drop cloths go down.

3Work the houses

Crews paint while the office runs itself

Walkthrough stops get ordered by location so estimating days stay tight. Crews get SMS alerts when anything changes, and homeowners get automatic on-my-way texts so the garage is clear when the ladders arrive.

4Get paid at the final coat

Invoice, payment, and tip at the final walkthrough

The invoice fires when the job closes, and you can text photos of the finished rooms right from the customer's thread. They pay from a link on their phone, and the built-in tip screen means clean work earns a little extra.

5Book the next one

Reviews and the next room, on autopilot

Auto texts ask happy homeowners for a Google review while the paint smell is still fresh. SMS, email, voicemail, and postcard blasts follow up on open estimates and remind last year's interiors that the exterior is next.

Nobody touched a phone.

Hey, it's ProCoat Painting. Sorry we missed you! What can we help with?

Sent automatically, 8 seconds later

Looking to get 3 bedrooms and a hallway painted. What would that run?

Every house is a little different, so we price after a quick walkthrough instead of guessing. We can come by Thursday at 4 or Friday at 10. Which works?
