These describe what BrushBid is built to do. Customer results are marked where they appear.

One repaint, start to finish

Every paint job runs the same path.
BrushBid runs it with you.

Estimating tools stop at the bid. Accounting tools start at the invoice. BrushBid holds the whole repaint together, from the walk-through quote to the balance clearing, so nothing falls through the gap between apps.

1

Estimate

Measure and price the repaint on site by square foot, coats and your production rate.

2

Approve

The customer reviews colors, scope and price, then signs from their phone.

3

Schedule

Won work drops onto the calendar and the right crew's day in a tap.

4

Invoice

The signed estimate becomes the invoice the moment you pull the tape.

5

Get paid

Deposit up front, balance by card or bank, and the job closes itself out.

Estimating

Bid a repaint by the numbers, not by gut feel.

Measure the walls, set the coats, and let your coverage and production rates do the rest. BrushBid turns square footage into a priced, professional bid before you leave the driveway, so you stop underpricing big rooms and losing small ones.

  • Square-foot pricing for walls, ceilings, trim and siding
  • Coats, prep and primer factored in automatically
  • Your production and coverage rates, saved once and reused

Proposals & e-sign

Hand over colors and scope they can say yes to.

A proposal that shows the colors, the sheen, the surfaces and a number the customer trusts, with good, better and best options laid out side by side. They sign on the spot, and the upsell is already on the page.

  • Colors, sheens and scope spelled out, with photos of past work
  • Good, better, best tiers to move the bigger package
  • E-signature from the kitchen table, no printing

Invoicing & payments

Painting invoice software that's built right in.

Most painting tools stop at the estimate and leave getting paid to a separate app. BrushBid keeps it together: take a deposit for paint and materials up front, then collect the balance by card or bank the day the last coat dries.

  • Deposits up front so you are not floating the paint bill
  • Card and bank payments built in, no separate processor
  • Automatic reminders on the balance so you stop chasing

Scheduling & CRM

Keep crews, color specs and customers straight.

Won jobs land on the calendar on their own. Crews see the address, the colors and the scope for the day, and every customer's past colors and quotes sit on one record, so the repeat job in three years takes one minute to quote.

  • Crew calendar with the colors and scope attached
  • Lead pipeline from first call to signed job
  • Color and job history saved on every customer

Why painters switch

The three things a paint shop
actually loses money on.

Bids that aren't guesses

Square footage times coats times your production rate, done for you. You stop leaving money on big jobs and stop losing small ones to a number you pulled out of the air.

Proposals that close

Colors, scope and good, better, best options on one clean page the customer signs from the couch. The bigger package is right there instead of left on the table.

Paid without the float

A deposit covers the paint before you buy it, and the balance clears by card the day you finish, instead of you fronting materials and waiting on a check.

Estimate templates

The jobs you bid every week,
already set up.

BrushBid comes loaded with the paint jobs you quote most, each with its own surfaces, units and prep. Tap one, drop in the measurements, and the bid builds itself. Tune the rates to your shop in minutes.

Is BrushBid painting estimate software?
Yes, and it goes further. BrushBid estimates a paint job by square foot, coats and your production rate, then carries the same job through proposal, schedule, invoice and payment, so the whole repaint lives on one record.
Can I estimate a paint job by square foot and coats?
Yes. Set your coverage and production rates once and BrushBid does the math for walls, ceilings, trim and exterior surfaces, including extra coats and prep, so your bids stop being guesswork.
Can I put colors and scope in the proposal?
Yes. Proposals carry your colors, sheens, scope and photos, with good, better and best options, and the customer signs from their phone.
How do customers pay for a paint job?
Collect a deposit up front for paint and materials, then take the balance by card or bank the day you pull the tape. Invoicing and payments are built in.
Can I import my price list and customers?
Yes. Your rates, line items and customer list import so you're not rebuilding your price book on day one.
