The "Lead Scatter" Problem
Leads vanishing between initial phone inquiries for exterior painting and forgotten follow-ups on color consultations for trim and siding
Crews double-booking jobsites because scheduling tools don't sync with lead notes on surface prep needs like power washing or scraping old paint layers
Wasted time chasing low-quality leads from homeowners unsure about paint types like low-VOC vs. oil-based or realistic timelines for multi-day exterior jobs
Manual entry errors mixing up client addresses for multi-property repaint contracts, leading to crews showing up at the wrong vacation home or rental unit
Seasonal rush overwhelming estimators who can't track which leads need urgent trim work bids during spring home refresh peaks
Disconnected tools causing delays in quoting eco-friendly, zero-VOC paint options to green-conscious clients interested in sustainable home exteriors

Drawing on industry benchmarks where custom tools boost lead conversion by 35%, our approach eliminates the one-size-fits-all pitfalls.

What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Efficiency That Drives More Paint on Walls and Profit in Your Pocket
Boost Lead Conversion by 45%
Boost Lead Conversion by 45%: Our custom AI scores leads by predicting close rates based on homeowner details like property size and preferred finishes—focusing your estimators on those likely to approve that full-exterior refresh with premium latex paints. Painters using similar systems report closing 25 more jobs per season, adding $50,000+ in revenue without extra marketing spend, often within the first 6 months of implementation.
Cut Administrative Time in Half
Cut Administrative Time in Half: Say goodbye to hours lost logging client preferences for stain vs. latex finishes on decks or siding. Automated capture from calls and forms feeds directly into your schedule, freeing crews for actual brush time on site prep and application. Industry data from painting associations shows this shaves 15 hours weekly off admin, letting you scale from 5 to 10 exterior projects monthly during peak seasons.
Seamless Integration with Your Tools
Seamless Integration with Your Tools: We build two-way connections to your invoicing software like QuickBooks and calendar apps like Jobber, ensuring no lead slips through cracks during peak summer demand for residential repaints. This unified setup prevents the 20% error rate common in disjointed systems—seen in NARI reports—delivering accurate quotes for color matching and surface prep that win bids 30% faster on average.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ, we'd lose track of half our leads during busy spring weeks—guys calling about deck staining with cedar finishes but never getting followed up on surface prep quotes. Their custom CRM automated the bids for Sherwin-Williams stains and scored the hot ones based on budget signals; we went from 12 exterior jobs a month to 18 in just three months, without hiring extra estimators."
Mike Rivera
Owner, Riverside Painting Pros, a residential exterior specialist in California
"Juggling interior repaint leads for multi-room projects was a nightmare with our old spreadsheet setup tracking wallpaper removal and primer needs. The system they built pulls in details from our website forms—like hints on Benjamin Moore color preferences—and prioritizes based on budget for crown molding accents. Last quarter, we closed a $20K commercial office gig we almost missed after syncing with our Housecall Pro scheduling—it's like having an extra estimator handling trim details on the team."
Sarah Chen
Operations Manager, ColorCraft Coatings, an interior repaint firm serving urban homeowners
"We specialize in historic home restorations, and tracking nuanced lead requirements for lead-safe paint removal and custom millwork matching was killing our efficiency during restoration seasons. AIQ's tailored setup integrates our detailed color matching notes from Pantone swatches directly into automated follow-ups and crew assignments. Revenue's up 30% year-over-year on heritage projects, and my foremen aren't chasing paper trails for cornice repairs anymore."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your custom CRM differ from standard tools like Jobber for painters?
Unlike Jobber's templated approach, which forces your workflow into rigid boxes, our CRM is built from the ground up for your specific painting operations. We incorporate AI to score leads based on nuances like interior vs. exterior preferences or eco-paint demands, something off-the-shelf can't customize deeply. For instance, if your team specializes in cabinet refinishing, we embed workflows for that exact process. This results in 35% higher conversion rates, per our client benchmarks, because it eliminates the friction of adapting generic features to your daily grind of site visits and color matching. Plus, you own the system outright, dodging subscription hikes as your business grows.
What kind of integration does it offer with my existing scheduling software?
We create deep, two-way API connections to tools like Google Calendar or Housecall Pro, ensuring lead data flows seamlessly without manual re-entry. For painters, this means a new inquiry about siding work instantly updates your crew's availability, preventing overlaps during peak spring rushes. Our engineers handle the heavy lifting, testing for reliability so you avoid the common 25% error rate in mismatched systems. We've integrated with over 50 home services apps, delivering a single dashboard where you track everything from lead sources to job completion—saving estimators up to 10 hours weekly on admin.
How long does it take to build and launch a custom CRM for my painting business?
From initial consultation to full deployment, expect 6-8 weeks for a tailored system, depending on complexity like adding AI for lead enrichment. We start with a deep dive into your processes—such as how you handle multi-room color schemes or seasonal bidding—and prototype quickly using agile methods. Unlike drawn-out agency projects, our in-house builders focus on painters' pain points, like rapid quote turnaround, to get you live fast. Post-launch, we provide two weeks of optimization to fine-tune, ensuring it boosts your bookings immediately. Clients typically see ROI within the first month through recaptured leads.
Can this CRM help with scaling my painting crew during high-demand seasons?
Absolutely—our systems are designed for scalability, handling surges from 20 to 100+ leads weekly without slowdowns. We build in predictive features that forecast demand based on historical data, like summer exterior booms, alerting you to nurture dormant leads early. For growing firms, this means assigning roles dynamically, so new hires access only relevant info like material quotes. Benchmarks show our clients scale 50% faster, adding crews without proportional admin bloat. It's flexible too: as you expand to commercial contracts, we adapt modules for larger project tracking, keeping everything unified and efficient.
Is the CRM secure for handling sensitive client information in the home services space?
Security is paramount, especially with details like home addresses and renovation budgets. We use enterprise-grade encryption and role-based access, compliant with standards like GDPR and CCPA, tailored for trades where data breaches can erode trust. Features include audit logs for every lead interaction, ensuring accountability during team handoffs. Unlike cloud-only tools prone to outages, our owned systems let you control data residency. Painters we've partnered with report zero incidents, and our setup includes automatic backups to protect against site visit mishaps. This peace of mind lets you focus on delivering flawless finishes, not worrying about digital vulnerabilities.
What support do you provide after the CRM is built for my painting operations?
We treat it as an ongoing partnership, not a set-it-and-forget-it delivery. After launch, our team offers 30 days of dedicated support for tweaks, like refining AI scoring for niche services such as mural work. Then, access to our helpdesk ensures quick resolutions, with average response times under 4 hours. We also schedule quarterly reviews to optimize based on your metrics—such as improving follow-up rates for trim detailing leads. This has helped clients maintain 95% uptime and adapt to changes like new paint supplier integrations, maximizing your investment year after year.
