About Topcoatly

Estimates, invoices and job records for the painting contractor who quotes from a van

Who it is for

The owner or office manager of a painting contracting business, from a single painter to a crew of fifteen, who writes the estimates and chases the invoices

Not a householder pricing their own decorating, not another trade, and not anybody selling painting leads or advertising

What it does not do

  • no other trade, no leads, no marketing services, and nothing written for the householder paying for the work

What is on this site

2 free tools, each working its figure on the page with no account, and Topcoatly Pro that keeps the record. All tools · Pricing.

  • Labor cost to paint a 12x12 room: Wall area, coats, your production rate and your fully loaded labour cost, turned into painting hours and what the room costs you in labour.
  • Painting cost calculator: Area, coats, prep, your labour cost, coverage and paint price, turned into a job cost and the price that keeps your margin.

What Topcoatly Pro keeps

The worksheets are free. Pro is what happens after the customer says yes: the estimate becomes a job, the job becomes an invoice, and next spring you can still see what you charged this street and what it actually took you.
