What Clients Say

"Before AIQ, my guys were burning evenings cold-calling for summer exterior jobs on vinyl siding, but half the leads were duds due to mismatched color consultations. Now the AI pulls property details from assessor databases and sends tailored emails about UV-resistant coatings—landed us three big condo repaint contracts worth $45K in the first month, saving about 15 hours a week on prospecting."

Mike Rivera

Owner, Riverside Coatings LLC, serving 500+ homes in suburban markets

"We were juggling leads from ads and referrals manually, missing follow-ups during peak season for kitchen cabinet refinishes. Their system integrated right into our job tracker, automating outreach for interior refreshes with tips on durable semi-gloss finishes. Closed 12 more jobs last quarter at an average of $3,500 each, and my sales lead finally gets home before dark without the lead backlog."

Sarah Patel

Operations Manager, Precision Painters Inc., specializing in urban apartment turnovers

"Tried generic tools, but they didn't get our commercial side—like bidding on office space makeovers with high-traffic epoxy floors. AIQ built something custom that researches building managers via LinkedIn and highlights our eco-friendly zero-VOC paints compliant with LEED standards. ROI hit 300% in six months on $200K in new contracts; no more chasing shadows for work during off-peak lulls."

Common Questions

How does this automation handle the unique seasonality in painting leads?

Painting businesses face peaks in spring for exteriors and falls for interiors—we design the AI to anticipate these cycles. It analyzes historical data from your CRM to ramp up outreach pre-season, targeting homeowners with queries like 'prep for rainy weather coatings.' This proactive approach has helped clients book 25% more jobs during off-months, reducing idle time for crews. The system also pauses non-urgent campaigns during busy periods, ensuring focus stays on execution. Fully customizable, it learns from your patterns for ongoing refinement.

Will the AI personalize outreach without sounding robotic to my clients?

Absolutely—our AI goes beyond templates by incorporating your brand voice and specifics like 'durable low-VOC paints for family homes.' Trained on successful past interactions, it crafts messages referencing property details, such as 'noticing your 1980s siding could benefit from modern UV protection.' Clients report response rates jumping from 8% to 28%, as prospects feel seen, not spammed. We fine-tune during build to match your relationship-focused style, ensuring every email builds trust like a pre-job consult.

What kind of integration does it have with my existing painting software?

We connect deeply with tools like Housecall Pro, Jobber, or even custom spreadsheets, creating a unified flow where outreach leads auto-populate job estimates. No more manual entry—AI pulls client details for seamless transitions to scheduling. For example, a qualified lead from an email campaign instantly triggers a calendar invite for a color consultation. This integration cuts errors by 90%, saving hours weekly, and scales as you add features like inventory tracking for paint supplies.

How secure is the data for property and client information?

Security is paramount in home services, where you're handling sensitive details like home addresses and renovation histories. We use enterprise-grade encryption and comply with standards like GDPR and CCPA, building the system on secure frameworks that avoid third-party vulnerabilities. Your data stays in your owned platform—no cloud rentals. Regular audits and role-based access ensure only authorized team members see lead info, protecting against breaches that plague 40% of small contractors annually.

What's the timeline and cost for building this for my painting company?

We kick off with a free consultation to map your needs, then deliver a prototype in 2-4 weeks, full launch in 6-8 weeks depending on complexity. Costs start at $15,000 for a core system, scaling based on integrations like voice add-ons—far below ongoing subscription models that average $2,000/month. ROI typically hits within 3 months via time savings and extra jobs; one client recouped investment through five new contracts. It's a one-time build for lifelong ownership, customized to your size.

Can this scale if I expand from residential to more commercial painting?

Yes, our architecture is built for growth—starting with residential outreach for quick wins, it adapts to commercial needs like targeting property managers for lobby refreshes. The AI learns from expanding data sets, adjusting scoring for larger bids. We've scaled systems for firms growing from 5 to 25 crews, maintaining 99% uptime. Add modules for multi-site management without rebuilding, ensuring efficiency as your portfolio diversifies into industrial coatings or historical restorations.
