How it works
The estimate starts
before you knock.
Act one happens on their phone, before you ever drive over — a photo, a recolored room, a real price range. Act two is the same ten-minute walkthrough you already run, now for a homeowner who's already seen themselves in the color.

In short: A painting contractor using PaintProof sells a job in two stages. First, the homeowner opens your Instant Quote link, leaves their name, a phone or email and ZIP, photographs a room, sees it repainted in real paint colors and gets a Good, Better, Best price range from your rates. You get them as a lead. Second, on your visit you enter the address and customer, measure and photograph the job, and approve the surfaces, with AI outlining them in your photos. Then you drop in their colors, set three price tiers, and hand over the phone to sign and pay a deposit. The visit takes about ten minutes.
Act one — before you knock
They quote themselves.
You send a link. They take a photo of the room, watch it repaint itself in real colors, and see a real price range — all before you've left the shop.
- 01Send the link — Text it after an inquiry call, hand over a QR code from the van or a yard sign, or drop it on your Google Business Profile. No app, no download.
- 02They shoot the room — One photo of the room they care about. No tape measure, no waiting on you.
- 03It recolors on the spot — Real paint colors on their actual wall, before/after right there on the screen.
- 04They get a range, you get a lead — Good, Better, Best, priced from your own rates, with "final quote requires a visit" right under it. They left a name and a phone or email before the first photo, so it's already with you as a lead.
Your logo and brand color open the link, and your company name stays on the quote — Powered by PaintProof, never white-labeled, never a different name.
Act two
Then you take it from there.
Act two is the six-step walkthrough on this page today — Start the estimate, Walk & capture, Confirm the surfaces, Drop in their colors, Set three tiers, Present & sign — still one visit, still about ten minutes, unchanged.
Start the estimate
Type the address and the homeowner's name and number. Thirty seconds and you're walking.
Walk & capture
Measure as you go — room by room inside, or siding, trim and doors outside — and snap photos along the way. They upload in the background while you keep moving around the house.
Confirm the surfaces
Your measurements become a list of surfaces — siding, trim, doors, shutters, garage. Approve or skip each one and mark its prep, while AI outlines them in the photos for the recolor. Fix any edge with a brush. This is where your judgment meets the machine.
Drop in their colors
Pick a surface, search real Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore colors, and watch it flood live on their actual house. The homeowner is usually leaning over your shoulder by now — that's the point.
Set three tiers
Build Good, Better and Best from the same scope. The rendering doesn't change — only paint line, warranty and price. The choice stops being “yes or no” and becomes “which one.”
Present & sign
Hand them the phone. They swipe the tiers, pick one and sign with a finger — then leave a deposit if they want the date. Done before you've packed the ladder.
The second you hit sign
Three things happen
at once.
Signed PDF, saved
A clean, branded proposal with the rendering and signature is saved to the homeowner's portal.
Job marked signed
It moves to signed in your pipeline, so nothing about the schedule is left as a maybe.
Deposit collected
If they paid on site, the deposit's already processed — and they get a portal link to pay the rest later.
