FAQ

Questions painters ask

How does it create an estimate from photos?

Upload a few job photos and add a short description of the work. The AI reads the photos and description, then drafts square footage, surfaces, prep, labor, materials, and a priced estimate you can edit.

How accurate is it?

It’s a strong first draft, not a final bid. Always check the square footage, labor hours, and material quantities before you send it. You can tap any line and change it.

Can I edit the estimate before sending?

Yes. Every line item, quantity, rate, markup, and Good / Better / Best option is editable. Nothing goes to a homeowner until you say so.

Does it work on my phone at the job?

Yes. It’s built to use on site. Take photos, add a description, generate the estimate, then export a PDF from your phone. You’ll need a connection to generate and export.

What’s included in Free vs Pro?

Free includes 5 AI estimates, editable line items, Good / Better / Best, and PDF export. Pro is $39/month and includes unlimited estimates, saved company profile and logo, branded PDFs, and estimate history.

Can I use my own labor and material rates?

Yes. Change any rate or markup on an estimate. As you edit, the totals update so the quote matches how you actually price jobs.

What if I already use another estimating tool?

Run one real job through it. Upload the photos, generate the estimate, and compare it to what you use now. If it’s faster and close enough to edit, keep using it. If not, you can cancel.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. No contract and no minimum term. Cancel from billing in your account whenever you want.

Is my client data secure?

Your estimates and customer details stay in your account. We don’t sell your data or use it to train public AI models. You can delete an estimate or your account at any time.

Do homeowners see that this was made with AI?

No. They see a branded estimate from your company. You review and edit it first, then export the PDF.
