The "Manual Quoting" Problem

Endless Drive-Time for On-Site Measurements: Home service crews lose 2-3 hours per potential job navigating traffic to measure square footage for painting or flooring installations

Inconsistent Pricing Across Crews: Variations in how foremen calculate paint gallons or drywall quantities lead to underbidding small jobs and overpricing larger renovations

Forgotten Follow-Ups on Potential Jobs

Material Cost Fluctuations Derailing Profits: Sudden spikes in lumber or paint prices from suppliers can turn a projected 20% margin on a kitchen remodel into a break-even job

Client Frustration from Delayed Estimates

Client Frustration from Delayed Estimates: Homeowners wait 3-5 days for a detailed quote on exterior painting or roofing repairs, often choosing faster competitors

Save 15+ Hours Weekly on Quoting

Save 15+ Hours Weekly on Quoting: Manual tape-measuring walls and calculating paint coverage for a 2,000 sq ft home eats into your crews' time. Our AI analyzes uploaded site photos in under 60 seconds, generating estimates aligned with your historical data on labor rates and surface prep. Painters report closing 30% more jobs without extending workdays, turning wasted drive time into billable installation hours within the first month.

Boost Close Rates by 25% with Precise Pricing

Boost Close Rates by 25% with Precise Pricing: Inconsistent quotes on material needs like siding panels or tile square footage lose bids to competitors. This system integrates real-time supplier data for lumber and fixtures with your labor benchmarks, ensuring every estimate builds client trust. One mid-sized roofing firm saw their average job value rise 18% in six months as quotes became more competitive yet maintained 22% profit margins.

Achieve 4x ROI in the First Year

Achieve 4x ROI in the First Year: Valued at $50/hour for admin time on tasks like reconciling supplier invoices, our automation pays for itself in 4-6 weeks. Expect $20K+ annual savings per estimator from reduced manual entry in estimating software, plus 15% revenue uplift from faster turnarounds on emergency repairs. It's an efficiency boost that scales with your residential volume, cutting overhead on tools and travel while expanding capacity for seasonal peaks.

What Clients Say

"Before AIQ, we'd burn 4 hours driving through LA traffic to measure a 1,500 sq ft ranch-style home, only to lose the bid because our quote lagged a week behind. Now, we snap photos during the initial client walk-through, upload them via the app, and deliver a detailed estimate with paint volume breakdowns by the next morning. We've secured four extra residential exterior jobs this quarter, boosting our revenue by $25K without hiring more crews."

Mike Rodriguez

Owner, Rodriguez Residential Painting, Los Angeles

"Our field teams were constantly dealing with mismatched epoxy quantities causing mid-job supply runs and costly callbacks on garage floor coatings. The AI integrates live Sherwin-Williams pricing and calculates coverage from our past 50+ commercial projects—slashing material overages by 15% and eliminating waste on returns. Clients rave about the 24-hour turnaround on detailed quotes; we just landed a $15K warehouse repaint that slipped away last year due to delays."

Sarah Jenkins

Operations Manager, Jenkins Industrial Coatings, Denver

"I was doubtful about AI handling the nuances of trim work and surface variances in historic home exteriors, but after a two-week setup, it's revolutionized our bidding process. No more late nights inputting measurements into estimating software or chasing volatile Benjamin Moore prices. We've reclaimed 12 hours weekly for on-site training, and our profit margins on Victorian facade jobs climbed from 15% to 28% by spotting lumber cost surges two weeks early. Best tech upgrade we've made."

Common Questions

How does the AI handle different types of painting jobs?

Our system is trained on diverse scenarios from interior walls to exterior siding, using your uploaded job history to adapt. For instance, it differentiates between drywall prep and stucco textures, pulling accurate material needs. We've fine-tuned it for painters like you, factoring in variables like ceiling heights or multi-story access. Setup takes just a week, and it learns from your feedback to improve— one client saw 95% accuracy on complex commercial jobs after two months. No more underestimating trim or overbuying gallons.

What if I already use quoting software?

We integrate directly with tools like Jobber, Housecall Pro, or even QuickBooks, creating a unified flow without replacing what works. The AI enhances them by automating the math-heavy parts, like cost calculations from photos. Painters often tell us their old software required manual inputs; ours pulls data automatically, saving 10 hours weekly. If there's no API, we build custom bridges. Post-integration, you'll have one dashboard for all estimates, reducing login fatigue and errors across your stack.

Is this secure for client photos and data?

Absolutely— we use enterprise-grade encryption and comply with standards like GDPR for home services. Photos are processed on-device where possible, then securely stored with access logs. Your client details stay in your control, never shared. We've built this for pros handling sensitive residential info, like high-end home renos. Regular audits ensure no breaches, and you own the data pipeline. One painting firm praised how it let them quote confidently without privacy worries, especially for repeat neighborhood clients.

How long until I see ROI?

Most clients recoup costs in 1-3 months through time savings alone. If your team spends 15 hours weekly on quotes at $40/hour, that's $1,200 saved monthly— our builds start at a fraction of that. Add revenue from faster closes (25% uplift typical), and ROI hits 4x in year one. We track metrics from launch, adjusting for your painting volume. A mid-sized contractor shared they paid off the system with just five extra jobs in the first quarter, thanks to quicker bids on seasonal exteriors.

Can it account for custom paint colors or add-ons?

Yes, the AI incorporates your catalog of colors, sheens, and extras like textured finishes or eco-options. It cross-references supplier inventories for availability and pricing, even suggesting alternatives if a custom tint delays. For add-ons, it prompts based on job photos— spotting cabinetry for potential upselling. Tailored to your workflow, it outputs line-item breakdowns clients love. We've helped firms increase average ticket by 20% this way, without manual recalcs eating into crew time.

What support do you provide after launch?

We offer 30 days of hands-on monitoring, then optional quarterly tune-ups to adapt to changes like new suppliers or crew efficiencies. Your team gets a dedicated portal for tweaks, plus video guides on using it for field quotes. Unlike subscription models, this is ownership with backup— no extra fees for basics. Painters appreciate our quick response; one called it 'like having an in-house dev without the salary.' If a paint price API shifts, we fix it fast to keep your margins intact.
