Painting companies

CRM & software for painting companies

CrewBrain runs your painting company from one command center — estimates by surface area, deposits, crew scheduling, before/after photos, your phone line, and a painter-friendly crew app. Quote an interior or exterior job in minutes, lock it in with a deposit, schedule your crews, and finish with photos that sell the next job.

The daily grind

The headaches every painting owner knows.

Walls, ceilings, trim, and exteriors all price differently, estimates take an hour each, and the customer who said yes never paid a deposit. When your quoting, scheduling, and crew live in different places, good jobs slip and crews stand around waiting.

Slow, inconsistent quotes. Every estimate is built from scratch, and two jobs the same size get two different prices.
No-show start days. No deposit, so the "yes" disappears and your crew has nothing to paint that morning.
No proof of work. A customer complains about coverage and you've got nothing but a memory.
Crews double-booked. Two jobs, one crew, and a schedule that only lives in your head.
How CrewBrain helps

Estimating, deposits, and crews in one brain.

From the first walkthrough to the final coat, every job lives in one place.

Estimate by surface area

Build quotes from square footage, room counts, or surfaces with your own rates for walls, ceilings, trim, and exteriors. CrewBrain does the math so every estimate is fast and consistent.

Lock it in with a deposit

Send the estimate and collect a deposit before the job is booked. Your calendar fills with committed work instead of maybes that ghost you on start day.

Schedule crews without clashes

Drag jobs onto the calendar and assign crews and start dates. See the whole week at a glance and stop sending one crew to two jobs.

Before/after photos that sell

Painters snap before and after shots in the app. They settle disputes over coverage and double as marketing you send with the invoice and post to win the next job.

A crew app for the jobsite

Painters get the address, the scope, paint colors and product notes, and parking details on their phone — plus clock-in/out so hours roll straight into payroll.

A setup team that does it with you

CrewBrain is software and hands-on help. A dedicated account manager loads your rates and crews and tunes a ready-made painting template to how you quote — so you go live fast.
