For Painting
Your painting business. Polished.
Homeowners judge painters on color advice, prep standards, and how professional you look before the first drop cloth hits the floor. If your estimate is a text with a single number, you lose to the crew with line-item prep, primer specs, and a gallery of cabinet refinishes. TradeKit delivers house painter near me SEO, room-based quoting for interiors, square-foot packages for exteriors, and space to showcase before-and-after photos—without paying for a separate portfolio site and invoicing app.
Sound Familiar?
Great cut lines. Rough edges on the business.
Residential painting companies hit the same friction on every job cycle.
Room counts change mid-walkthrough
You scope three bedrooms and a hall, then the spouse adds the office. Without structured line items, you either eat margin or confuse the customer with revised chicken-scratch notes.
Interior vs exterior pricing blends together
Ladders, peel bond, and sprayer days are different animals. One flat “per gallon” quote makes you look inexperienced compared to crews that break out prep tiers.
Your work is invisible online
Prospects want proof—cabinets, exteriors, trim detail. A bare Instagram and no website means you never get called for the premium repaint jobs.
Software subscriptions eat per-room margin
Between scheduling apps, website builders, and card readers, you are funding Silicon Valley before the first coat flashes.
Built for Painting Contractors
Room quotes, exteriors, and painter SEO in one flow.
TradeKit helps you sell clarity: prep levels, sheens, ceilings, trim packages, and color-consult add-ons—so homeowners understand value, not just square footage math.
Room-based interior quoting
Line-item walls, ceilings, trim, closets, and repairs per room so change orders are documented—not argued at final walkthrough.
Interior & exterior estimate packages
Separate templates for cabinet spraying, brick limewash, and full exterior repaints with prep tiers that reflect real labor on scaffolding.
Before-and-after photo storytelling
Your branded site showcases project galleries that convert searches for kitchen cabinet painting and exterior repaint into booked walkthroughs.
Painting-specific local SEO
Service pages for interior painters, exterior house painters, and commercial repaints help you rank in suburb-level Google results.
Deposit invoices on multi-room jobs
Large interior projects and whole-home exteriors get scheduled payments so material orders and crew holds are funded upfront.
Review automation after final payment
Fresh five-star proof matters in paint. Automated requests capture happy homeowners right after touch-up is approved.
The Competition
Painting business software with no monthly retainer.
Generic field tools rarely showcase visual trades well, and portfolio platforms do not invoice. TradeKit merges customer-facing polish with operations—and skips the monthly fee model that punishes seasonal painters.
