What Clients Say
"Before AIQ's system, we were quoting every lead that called, even the ones just shopping around for a single wall touch-up. Now, it flags the serious ones—like that $15K commercial repaint we landed last month after scoring it high for budget and timeline fit—and we've cut our no-bid follow-ups in half over the past quarter. My estimators are actually on-site prepping surfaces more than ever."
Mike Rivera
Owner, Rivera Painting Pros, a mid-sized firm specializing in residential and light commercial repaints in the Southwest
"Integrated it with our scheduling app, and it's a game-changer for summer exteriors. Last quarter, we prioritized leads within 20 miles for high-durability siding jobs, booked 12 extra projects averaging $4,200 each, and our crew utilization jumped from 65% to 89%. No more scrambling for filler work during heatwaves."
Sarah Chen
Operations Manager, Precision Coatings Inc., experts in weather-resistant exterior painting for suburban homes
"We handle a mix of residential refreshes and office overhauls. The scoring nailed the high-value corporate leads we were missing amid homeowner noise for kitchen cabinet updates. Closed a $8,000 lobby project in two weeks that we might've overlooked otherwise, thanks to its elevated score on project scope and client commitment."
Tom Hargrove
General Manager, Elite Brushworks, a boutique service for custom interior and commercial space transformations

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does lead scoring specifically help painting contractors?
For painters, lead scoring goes beyond basic qualification—it's about matching inquiries to your operation's strengths. Our AI evaluates factors like project scale (e.g., full-house exteriors vs. trim touch-ups), location feasibility, and client intent signals from initial calls or forms. This prioritizes leads that align with your crew's skills and availability, reducing bid preparation time by up to 30%. We've seen contractors close 40% more jobs by focusing on high-match prospects, like commercial spaces needing durable coatings, while sidelining vague residential queries. It's custom-built to your workflow, integrating with tools you already use for quotes and scheduling.
What data does the system use to score leads?
We pull from your historical data: past job outcomes, client demographics, inquiry sources, and interaction patterns. For painters, this includes specifics like square footage estimates, paint type preferences, and response times to quotes. External signals, such as property values from public records or seasonal trends (e.g., spring curb appeal surges), enrich the model without manual input. Privacy is paramount—we ensure compliance with regulations, anonymizing data where needed. The result? A score from 1-100 that predicts conversion likelihood, tailored to challenges like uneven lead flow in off-seasons.
How long does it take to implement for our painting business?
Typically 4-6 weeks from kickoff to live deployment, depending on your current setup. We start with a quick audit of your lead pipeline—reviewing how inquiries come in via phone, website, or referrals. Then, 2-3 weeks for model training on your data, ensuring it captures painter-specific nuances like job urgency for weather-dependent exteriors. Integration with your CRM and testing follow, with a soft launch to refine accuracy. Post-go-live, we monitor for the first month, tweaking based on real leads. This phased approach minimizes disruption, so your team sees value fast without halting operations.
Can it integrate with our existing scheduling and quoting tools?
Absolutely—our custom builds connect deeply with platforms like Housecall Pro, Jobber, or even QuickBooks for invoicing ties. For painters, this means scored leads auto-populate with job details, flagging ones that fit your calendar gaps or crew specialties, like eco-paints for green-conscious clients. We use robust APIs for two-way sync, so updates in one system reflect instantly elsewhere—no more manual entry errors that delay bids. If you're using custom spreadsheets, we migrate that too. The goal: a unified view where high-score leads trigger quote templates, streamlining from inquiry to signed contract.
What if our lead sources change, like adding referral partnerships?
Our system is flexible by design, built to adapt as your painting business evolves. When new sources emerge—say, partnerships with realtors for move-in preps—we retrain the model with fresh data in under a week, incorporating signals like referral quality or partner history. This keeps scoring accurate, preventing drops in relevance during growth phases. We've helped firms handle shifts like expanding to historic restoration leads, maintaining 90%+ prediction accuracy. Ongoing support includes quarterly reviews, ensuring the AI stays aligned with your unique workflow and market dynamics.
Is this more cost-effective than generic lead scoring subscriptions?
Yes, dramatically—our one-time build plus minimal maintenance replaces multiple subscriptions that often total $500+ monthly for painters. Generic tools charge per lead or user, scaling costs with volume, while ours is owned outright, with updates baked in. For a mid-sized crew, clients save 60-70% yearly, redirecting funds to marketing or equipment. Plus, the ROI from higher close rates (often 2-3x) pays for itself in months. No vendor lock-in; you control the system, avoiding the 'subscription chaos' of brittle integrations that fail during busy seasons.
