BrushBid is one app that takes a paint job from the first estimate to the final payment. We built it because the software painters were handed was generic, half-finished, or quietly hostile to the thing that matters most: getting paid.
Ask a painting contractor where their day goes and it is rarely the painting. It is the estimate rebuilt in a spreadsheet, the proposal retyped, the schedule on a whiteboard, the invoice in one app and the payment chased through another. The work that wins and closes a job lives in five places that do not talk to each other.
So jobs get bid by gut instead of by the numbers. Proposals go out slow and look thrown together. Invoices land late, and the money sits in a stack of unpaid net-30s while you front the paint. None of that is a painting problem. It is a tools problem.
BrushBid keeps one job on one record, from the driveway estimate to the cleared payment. You bid by the square foot, send a proposal that wins, schedule the crew, invoice the second you pull the tape, and take the payment on the spot. One app, the whole repaint, built the way painters actually work.
Generic field-service tools make every trade share one blank form. We start from how painters actually price work, square feet, coats, prep and trim.
No "book a demo to find out what it costs." The plans and the prices are on the site, so you decide on your own time, not on a sales call.
Invoicing and card payments are in the box, not bolted on through a third app. The job is not done until the money lands, so that is part of the tool.
The work happens in someone's hallway, not at a desk. BrushBid is built phone-first, so you can quote, send and collect without going back to the office.
BrushBid is new, and we would rather build it with painters than guess at what they need. The roadmap is shaped by what shows up in the shop.
We started BrushBid because too many good painters were losing their nights to paperwork and their margins to invoices that took a month to clear, all while running the business on tools that were never built for the trade. We wanted one place that carried a job from the driveway estimate to the paid invoice, and spoke the language of painting while it did.
We are early. If you run a paint shop and something here is missing, wrong, or could be sharper, we want to hear it. The contractors who show up now are the ones who shape what this becomes.
