The CRM built for painting contractors
Painting work is won at the estimate. You walk the house, measure, note the colors and the prep, and send a price the homeowner can compare against two others.
Review Monster's CRM gets that estimate out fast, follows up, collects the deposit and keeps the crew's schedule straight. It's free with every Review Monster plan and live in about 30 minutes.
The hard parts
Estimates from a walk-through
Rooms, square footage, trim, prep work. Turning walk-through notes into a clean estimate the same day is hard when you're doing three a day.
Weather and timing
Exterior jobs move with the weather, and interior jobs move with the homeowner's schedule. Everyone affected needs to hear about it.
Details the crew needs
Color codes, sheen, which rooms, what furniture stays. If it isn't on the job, the crew calls the office or guesses.
How the CRM helps
Build interior or exterior estimates from your price book with photos from the walk-through. Customers approve and sign online.
A follow-up goes out a few days after the estimate if the homeowner hasn't decided.
Take a deposit on approval and the balance when the job is done, by card or online.
Colors, sheens, rooms and notes stay on the job, where the crew sees them in the app.
Plan crews by day and publish the shifts, so everyone knows which house they're at.
When the job is Done, the customer gets a review request by text and email.
A day with it
Monday you walk a two-story exterior, take photos of each side, and send the estimate from your truck before lunch.
Thursday the CRM sends a follow-up. The homeowner approves it Friday, picks the colors, and pays the deposit online.
The job lands on the following week's schedule. The crew sees the color codes, the sheen and the note about the side gate in the app.
Rain pushes it a day, and you text the homeowner from the same thread. When it's finished, the final invoice and a review request go out together.
