The Problem

Most painting estimates still rely on guesswork.

Vague estimates create hidden assumptions, price negotiation, unclear upgrades, and messy handoffs after the customer says yes. Quotimize is built to replace that with structured estimating.

Traditional estimating
Quotimize
Vague line-item scope
Room-by-room itemized scope
Hidden pricing assumptions
Production rates, materials, and margin logic
Discounting to handle sticker shock
Customers adjust scope instead of cutting your margin
Quote details recreated for the crew
Sold scope carries into the work order
The Quotimize System

One source of truth from estimate to production.

Build the scope once, present it clearly to the customer, then hand the same sold scope to production. No duplicated scope. No disconnected systems.

1
Project Builder

Build the scope once.

Define areas, substrates, quantities, materials, production rates, and pricing structure in one estimating source of truth.

2
Live Quote

Present it clearly.

Turn the estimate into an itemized customer-facing quote with optional work, upgrades, photos, and live totals.

3
Work Order

Carry it into production.

Give the crew the same sold scope with room-by-room detail, notes, photos, and completion tracking.

Interactive Demo

Let customers adjust scope without destroying your margins.

The itemized Live Quote is the proof. Customers can see what is included, understand optional work, and make scope decisions without forcing you to discount the same project.

  • Customers see exactly what is included, room by room.
  • Optional items can be removed without discounting the same scope.
  • Upgrade choices stay visible instead of getting buried in a PDF.
  • Totals update around scope decisions, helping preserve margin.

Customer budget$3,000
Removed optional scope-$612
Final accepted scope$2,988

The customer changes the scope. The contractor protects the margin.

Estimating Engine

Built on production rates, material logic, and margin-aware pricing.

Quotimize is estimating software first. The presentation is clean, but the value starts with the labor, material, and margin logic behind the quote.

Production-rate estimating

Estimate from how long the work should take instead of relying on loose square-foot shortcuts.

Material logic

Connect coatings, coats, quantities, and material assumptions to the estimating structure.

Margin-aware pricing

Build pricing around labor, material cost, and the profit structure your business actually needs.

Who It Is For

Built for contractors who care about their numbers.

Quotimize is for serious painting contractors who want to understand how their estimates are built, protect profitability, and improve estimating consistency over time.

Great fit for
  • Residential repaint contractors
  • Owner-operators who care about estimating accuracy
  • Production-rate estimators
  • Detail-oriented painting companies
  • Contractors replacing legacy estimating workflows
Why It Is Different

Estimating first. CRM second.

Quotimize is not a generic CRM with a quoting feature attached. It is an estimating platform built around structured scope, production logic, and continuity from quote to work order.

Platform

Estimating first

Quotimize is built around the numbers behind the job. CRM convenience can support the workflow, but estimating is the foundation.

Workflow

Structured scope

The estimate, quote, and work order share the same scope structure instead of becoming disconnected documents.

Handoff

Production continuity

Accepted scope carries forward into the work order, so production is not rebuilding the job from a separate proposal.

Contractor-Built Credibility

Built by a painting contractor who needed a better estimating platform.

Quotimize started inside Canyon Painters and was shaped by real residential repaint estimates, customer presentations, and field handoffs after legacy structured estimating workflows disappeared from the market.

Built from real use
  • Built first for Canyon Painters, a real residential repaint company.
  • Created after legacy structured estimating workflows disappeared from the market.
  • Used daily and improved from real estimates, quotes, and production handoffs.
