FieldSquire helps painting contractors avoid the one-number text. Record surfaces, colors, coats, prep level, repairs, occupied-room protection, access, and exclusions, then send a line-by-line branded PDF.
Why painting estimates lose margin
- Prep level, color changes, repairs, furniture, masking, height, access, and dry time affect labor.
- Primer, specialty coatings, multiple finishes, caulking, and protection are easily overlooked.
- The proposal should state surfaces, number of coats, included repairs, exclusions, and customer responsibilities.

Example painting estimate lines
These examples show how a scope can be separated for review. They are not prices, measurements, engineering, or a substitute for verified site conditions and supplier costs.
How FieldSquire works on a painting job
- Add the customer, job title, address, contact details, and estimate reminder.
- Speak or type the scope while the site conditions are visible. Attach useful job photos.
- Request an AI-assisted draft using the job context, company price list, and learned prices.

SAVE THE PART OF THE DAY YOU CANNOT REPLACE
Fast quotes can give a busy contractor a workweek back.
FieldSquire is built to turn a walkthrough into an editable quote in a minute or two. If a contractor saves about 30 minutes across 20 quotes each week, that is roughly 40 hours returned over a month. Actual savings depend on quote volume and the old workflow—but less truck-seat paperwork means more time for paying work, customers, and home.
Painting estimating software for interior and exterior bids
Use FieldSquire as mobile painting estimating software for house painting estimates, interior painting proposals, exterior painting bids, and cabinet-painting quotes. Add job photos and voice notes, edit every line, and use your own production rates and direct material costs.
Built for solo contractors and five-person crews
Starter supports lower quote volume, Pro adds unlimited estimates and AI assistance, and Crew gives up to five authorized members a shared company profile, leads, estimates, job photos, and learned prices. The contractor controls every customer-facing number before it is sent.
Questions about FieldSquire for painting
Can I estimate walls, ceilings, and trim separately?
Yes. Separate surfaces, preparation, primer, finish coats, repairs, protection, and cleanup into editable lines.
Does FieldSquire calculate exact paint gallons?
AI can draft from the dimensions and scope you provide, but the painter must verify coverage, surface condition, color changes, application method, waste, and product specifications.
Can I quote cabinet painting?
Yes. Include cleaning, masking, preparation, repairs, primer, finish coats, hardware handling, and cure or return-trip assumptions.
Can it learn my painting production rates?
Corrected AI unit rates can be saved privately and prioritized when later work matches the same item and unit.
