Painting Contractor Invoicing — Rooms, Trim, and Prep Line-Itemed
Quote by the room, by the square foot, or by the day. Send an estimate with a color swatch photo. Get a signed approval before the tape goes up.
What painting contractors get: text or email estimates, one-tap conversion to an invoice, and card or bank payment on every job.
What painting contractors keep telling us
The problems we hear on every intro call — and how Glo Invoice fixes them.
Scope creep after work starts
Signed estimates protect you. Every change order is its own tracked invoice.
Materials vs labor visibility
Customers want to know what they're paying for. Line items with photos make the total obvious.
Long jobs need progress billing
Two-week paint job? Bill weekly. Or 50% deposit + 50% completion.
How it works for painting contractors
Three steps. Under a minute apiece.
Walk & measure
Log the customer, snap photos of each room, capture surface type.
Quote by scope
Rooms, prep, trim, ceilings as separate line items. Send by text with photos attached.
Change orders on the fly
Customer wants ceilings added? New line item, re-approved in seconds.
Built for how you actually run the business
Room-based line items
Save common rooms (LR, MB, kitchen) with default sqft and prep multipliers.
Color-swatch attachments
Photograph swatches to the estimate so the color is agreed on before you buy paint.
Change order workflow
Add a scope change as its own estimate; keeps the original job clean.
Progress billing
Split large jobs into scheduled invoices on any cadence.
