Painting Contractors

Know Your Paint Quantities Before You Bid

Scan a room, get a floor plan, and generate a full material takeoff, gallons by wall, with doors and windows already deducted. No tape measure, no spreadsheet.

Challenges We Solve for Painting Contractors

Tedious Manual Measurement

Stop measuring every wall by hand. 3D scanning captures all room dimensions in minutes, including ceiling heights.

Inaccurate Estimates

Underbid and lose money, or overbid and lose the job. Get precise square footage for accurate, competitive pricing.

Tracking Color Specifications

Keep track of colors and finishes for each room. Photo markup helps you document exactly where each color goes.

Room-by-Room Documentation

Organize your project by room. Track which rooms need what colors, finishes, and prep work.

Photo Markup for Color Specs

Materials Library

Build Your Catalog Once, Bid Faster Every Time

Add your paint products to the Materials Library with your real cost, charge, and margin. SiteScope calculates quantities wall by wall, you see exactly what each job costs and what you'll charge before you leave the site.

  • Set cost per sq ft and charge per sq ft, margin shown live
  • Waste factor (%) added automatically to coverage calc
  • Category and subcategory keep interior paint organized
  • Supplier, SKU, and price-as-of date for order tracking
Material Takeoffs

Paint Quantities, Not Guesswork.

SiteScope computes net paintable area wall by wall, openings deducted, regions broken out, ready to price.

  • Openings deducted automatically: doors, windows, and any cutout regions are subtracted from gross wall area before quantities are computed.
  • Room-by-room breakdown: assign a paint material to an entire room or individual walls, ideal when ceiling color differs from trim or accent walls.
  • Scanned vs. estimated clarity: LiDAR-measured walls are flagged Scanned (green) so you can see exactly how much of your bid is based on measured geometry.
  • Export quantities to CSV and drop them straight into your estimating spreadsheet or proposal template.
