Quoting headaches Quoto fixes for painters.
Quoting whole-house jobs without a 4-page Word doc that nobody reads
Customers asking for a 'just the walls' option and a 'walls plus ceilings' option — and you having to redo the whole quote
Forgetting to add prep, gap-filling, two-coat upgrade, or trim work
Losing track of which quotes are still warm and which ones are dead
Built for the jobs painters actually quote.
Interior repaints (room by room)
Build a quote room by room with walls, ceilings, trims and doors itemised — so the customer can pick the rooms they want done and the quote updates instantly.
Exterior repaints
Quote prep, undercoat, two coats and trim work as separate lines — with optional add-ons for gutters, fascia and roof.
Heritage and detailed work
Add notes and photos per line item for sashes, mouldings and timber repair, so quotes don't get queried two weeks later.
Your line items. Saved. Ready to drop in.
Save the line items you quote week in, week out — labour, materials, callouts, surcharges — then drop them into any quote in a couple of taps.
- Interior walls (per room)
- Ceiling (per room)
- Doors and trims
- Exterior — prep & two coats
- Roof coating
- Gap fill & sand back
- Colour consultation
Painters ask us this all the time.
Can I send a quote with optional add-ons the customer picks from?
Yes. Mark line items as optional and the customer can tick the ones they want — the quote total updates as they go, so a 'walls only' vs 'walls + ceilings' quote is one document, not three.Does Quoto handle by-the-room and by-the-coat pricing?
Both. Build line items per room, per surface, or per coat — whatever matches how you actually price. Save your most-used setups as templates so the next quote is a 30-second job.Can I track which leads have viewed but not accepted the quote?
Yes — Quoto shows you which customers opened the quote and which ones didn't, so your follow-ups go to people who are actually thinking about it.Will it work for a husband-and-wife painting team?
Perfectly. Pro and Team plans share customers, quotes and templates between users, so the office partner and the on-site partner are always looking at the same quote.
