Frequently Asked Questions

For questions about PriceTable’s painting features, contact us — we’re happy to help.

How quickly can I produce a quote?

With Site Assessments and our Paint & Prep Calculator, most painters can go from a walkthrough to a draft estimate in minutes. Capture rooms/areas on‑site, click Create Estimate, and review the per‑room sections immediately on the created estimate.

Does it handle interior, exterior, ceilings, trim, doors, and prep?

Yes. The calculator supports interior and exterior projects, vaulted/cathedral ceilings, exclusions, and first‑class toggles for ceilings/trim/doors. Prep work (masking, patching, caulking, power washing, scraping, lead‑safe) is included with production‑aware costing.

How accurate are the numbers?

Materials are based on coverage by substrate and method, with adjustable waste factor and container strategies. Labor uses production rates plus setup/cleanup and height/access multipliers. You can tune defaults in Painting Settings to match your crew.

Can I use my preferred brand and sheen?

Yes. Choose brand/sheen preferences and defaults; the purchase list notes brand/sheen and aggregates quantities by container size. Vendor SKU mapping is planned as an optional layer for supplier‑ready POs.

Do you generate a purchase list?

Yes. After you create an estimate, download a job‑wide Purchase List (PDF/CSV). We aggregate materials across rooms by canonical product (brand/line/sheen) and container size so the paint store can fill the order quickly.

Can I save and reuse Site Assessments?

Yes. Assessments are saved as drafts tied to customers and properties. You can resume on desktop, create multiple estimates from one assessment, and keep an audit trail of assumptions.

Does it work on mobile?

Yes. Capture Site Assessments on any modern phone or tablet. The layout is thumb‑friendly, autosaves, and you can finish estimates on desktop later.

What about scheduling, invoicing, and payments?

PriceTable includes the rest of the workflow: Requests and scheduling, projects/visits, invoices, and online payments via Stripe. QuickBooks Online sync is available for accounting.
