Rough estimate
A structured starting point from the job brief, useful for organising labour, materials, questions, and assumptions.
Problem
Why this workflow matters.
A fast estimate is only useful if the painter can check the assumptions. PainterPal presents a structured draft so you can review the details instead of sending AI output blindly.
Estimate vs quote
Estimate first, quote after review.
For painting work, a rough estimate is a working draft. The quote is what you choose to send after checking the scope, labour, materials, assumptions, and customer message. PainterPal keeps that distinction visible.
Painter review
The painter checks the output against the site, their rates, VAT position, materials policy, and pricing judgement.
Customer quote
The saved quote can become a branded PDF only after the painter has reviewed and edited the details.
