Keep prep, coats, and finishes visible
Painting Estimate Software from Walkthrough to Proposal
A profitable painting estimate depends on preparation, surface condition, colors, coatings, access, protection, and cleanup—not square footage alone. Xtimator keeps those decisions attached to the walkthrough and structures them into a detailed draft your customer can follow.

Questions from the field
Frequently asked questions
Can I separate prep from painting labor?
Yes. The estimate can include distinct preparation, repair, priming, coating, protection, and cleanup line items.
Can I record colors and finishes during the walkthrough?
Yes. Speak or type those decisions and attach supporting photos, then verify them in the draft before sending.
Does Xtimator calculate paint quantities automatically?
It can help draft quantities from the context you provide, but the painting contractor should verify measurements, coverage rates, waste, and coat requirements.
