Win painting jobs, send invoices from your phone, and get paid fast with painting estimating and invoicing software.
14 day free trial. No credit card required.
Is admin taking up too much of your time? Get organized and look like the pro you are with Joist painting invoice software. Put together estimates during walkthroughs. Turn them into invoices when the job’s done, and get paid online. Organize all the details in one spot, so you spend less time sorting through paperwork and stay on top of the money side of your painting business.
When you take too long to send an estimate after the walkthrough, you might lose the job. Homeowners want pricing while the project is still fresh in their minds. If another painter sends out a quote first, they could book the job instead of you.
With Joist
Use Joist's painting estimating and invoicing app for same-day walkthrough follow-ups. Send estimates with line items, markups, photos, and dates. Include paint details, costs, and project scope, so homeowners can review the quote and move forward with confidence.
You finish the last coat and pack up the ladders. But you still haven’t sent the invoice. That's a job for later tonight. Invoicing for big projects takes even longer. And, on top of it all, you need to remember to ask for deposits and partial payment requests at the right time.
With Joist
Getting paid on time and in full is easier with Joist's painting invoice app. Create invoices from your phone, accept payments on-site, and send payment reminders automatically. Request deposits, invoice project stages, and offer homeowner financing for larger projects.
Between paint purchases, prep materials, equipment costs, and stacks of receipts, it can be hard to keep track of where your money is going. When paperwork gets scattered across jobs, it's easier to miss expenses and lose sight of your profit margin.
With Joist
Track paint, material, and equipment expenses with your phone. Just snap a photo of the receipt and keep records organized. Monitor monthly revenue with easy-to-use reports. Need extra cash for supplies, equipment, or payroll? Apply for business funding right in the app.
Customer photos are in your camera roll. Paint notes are buried in texts. Receipts are sitting in the truck. Now, a homeowner is calling asking about a past paint color or invoice. You're searching through different apps trying to find the right answers.
With Joist
Take your contractor organization strategy to the next level. Keep project notes like paint color or finish selections, invoices, and photos organized under each client profile. Everything is easy to find when it’s time for a follow-up job with our painting invoice software.
It's no secret Google reviews win work. The question is, how do you get more? You always forget to ask happy customers. Now, your competition is outranking you in local searches, and you could be losing business. You need a reliable, repeatable system.
With Joist
Joist does more than invoicing for painting contractors. When the bill is paid, the software automatically sends a review request. You don't have to remember to do this yourself. You get more reviews, which wins more homeowner trust, and that brings in more work.
Get more out of your supply purchases and earn rewards on eligible paint and material purchases. You also get access to contractor resources, business insights, and community support.
