Built for Painting Contractors

Know Your Profit on Every Paint Job

Paint is cheap but labor is not. Most painters know what they charge but not what they actually keep. JobCostSnap shows your real margin on every job — interior, exterior, and commercial.

Common problems

Sound Familiar?

Labor Eats Most of Your Revenue

On a $4,000 interior, materials might be $550 — but labor is $2,000+. If a job takes one extra day because of prep work, your margin drops from 36% to 20%.

Extra Coats Kill the Estimate

You bid two coats but dark-to-light color changes need three. That extra $80 in paint and 4 hours of labor were never in the quote.

Prep Time Is Always Underestimated

Patching, caulking, sanding, taping — prep can take longer than painting. If you're not tracking those hours, you're not seeing your real cost.

How it works

Three Steps to Real Job Profit

Step 1

Snap Your Receipts

Photo the Sherwin-Williams receipt at the counter. We pull vendor, amount, and date. Tag paint and supplies to the right job.

Step 2

Log Crew Hours

Track each painter's time per job. Prep day, paint day, touch-ups — every hour gets counted toward the real cost.

Step 3

See Your Margin

Instant P&L per job. Know if that interior repaint is holding at 36% margin or if extra prep ate your profit.
