Built for painting contractors

Painting contractor software that does the surface math and prices the job for you.

Residential repaints and commercial jobs both come down to surfaces, coats, and coverage. Avolv measures the work, prices it against your rates, builds the color schedule the crew paints from, dispatches the job, and keeps the EPA RRP lead-safe records for pre-1978 homes.

Thanks Marcus. Walls and trim across the three bedrooms and both baths, two coats, comes to $4,200 to $4,800 with your paint. Want the color schedule and a start date?
Send it over.

The job is won or lost on the estimate, and the estimate takes all night.

Measuring surfaces, counting coats, pricing paint and labor, then typing it all into a proposal. Painting contractors lose their evenings to it, and a slow or wrong number costs the job either way.

Evenings

Estimating after the workday ends

You measured on site, now you are pricing at the kitchen table at 9pm. The homeowner already has two other quotes in their inbox.

Takeoff

Surface math that has to be right

Miss the square footage or the coats and the margin is gone before the first wall is cut in. Get it wrong the other way and you lose the bid.

Pre-1978

Lead-safe paperwork on older homes

EPA RRP rules apply to any home built before 1978. The records have to exist and hold up, and a binder in the truck is not a system.

The work you wish the business would do on its own.

We built this with a working painting contractor, residential and commercial, so the estimating and the paperwork match how real jobs get priced and run.

01

Surface takeoff and paint math

Avolv sizes the surfaces from a walkthrough, applies coats and coverage, and prices the job against your labor and material rates. The number that takes you an evening takes minutes.

  • Surfaces traced and squared from photos or a video
  • Coats, coverage, and spread rate figured for you
  • Priced against your own labor and paint rates
  • Stays inside your guardrails, every time
02

A color schedule the crew paints from

Rooms, surfaces, products, and colors in one schedule the crew works off in the field. No more loose notes about which white goes on the trim.

  • Color and product assigned per room and surface
  • The crew sees exactly what goes where
  • Interior and exterior schedules both supported
  • Shared with the customer for sign-off
03

A visualizer the customer can see

Show the customer the colors on the space before a drop cloth comes out. Seeing it decided makes the sale and cuts the change orders.

  • Colors previewed on the room or elevation
  • Options compared side by side
  • Decisions locked before the crew starts
  • Fewer surprises and repaints later
04

EPA RRP lead-safe records

For any home built before 1978, the lead-safe records are captured as part of the job and kept in a record that holds up, built on the same compliance engine the rest of Avolv runs on.

  • Pre-1978 homes flagged for RRP automatically
  • Field proof captured on the mobile app
  • Records kept with a tamper-evident history
  • Ready when you need to produce them
05

Proposals, e-sign, and progress billing

The estimate becomes a proposal the customer signs on their phone. Residential bills in full, commercial bills in progress draws as the work is completed.

  • Branded proposals with e-signature
  • Residential deposit and final billing
  • Commercial progress draws as phases complete
  • Stripe payments and QuickBooks sync
06

The front of the business, handled

Every call answered, a real pipeline, crew scheduling, and a mobile app. The painting tools sit on top of the same system that runs the rest of the business.

  • AI receptionist answers every call, day or night
  • Pipeline that moves each lead to a booked job
  • Crew scheduling with drive-time routing
  • Mobile app for the crew in the field

A walkthrough at noon. A signed proposal by dinner.

Here is what happens when a homeowner sends you a walkthrough of the job this afternoon.

1

Customer sends the job

"Repaint the interior, walls and trim." Plus a short video walkthrough of the rooms.

2

Avolv does the takeoff

Surfaces traced, coats and coverage calculated, and the job priced against your rates. You confirm before it goes out.

3

Color schedule and proposal

A color schedule is built and a branded proposal is sent. Pre-1978 homes are flagged for RRP automatically.

4

Signed, scheduled, billed

The customer e-signs, the crew is booked, the deposit is charged, and progress draws are set for a commercial job.

Everything we build, in one app, for one monthly price.

Questions actual painting contractors ask us.

I estimate in a spreadsheet and a proposal tool. Why switch?

A spreadsheet does the math and a proposal tool makes it look nice, but you are still measuring, pricing, and typing it all twice. Avolv does the surface takeoff, prices the job against your rates, builds the color schedule, and sends the proposal from one system, so the estimate stops eating your evenings.

How accurate is the surface takeoff?

Avolv sizes the surfaces from a walkthrough and applies your coats, coverage, and spread rates to price the job, and you confirm the numbers before the proposal goes out. It gets a priced, defensible estimate in front of the customer in minutes, with your own rates as the guardrails.

Does it handle both residential and commercial?

Yes. Residential repaints bill with a deposit and a final invoice, and commercial jobs bill in progress draws as phases are completed. Both run through the same takeoff, color schedule, scheduling, and compliance tools.

How does the EPA RRP lead-safe piece work?

Homes built before 1978 are flagged for RRP automatically, and the lead-safe records are captured on the job and kept with a tamper-evident history on the same compliance engine the rest of Avolv runs on. The records exist and hold up when you need to produce them.

How much does Avolv cost?

It depends on the size of your business. We would rather give you a real fit on a 15-minute call than a one-size-fits-all sticker. What we tell you upfront: no per-seat fees, no setup fees during promotions, and no contracts. One monthly price, everything we build, cancel any time.

How long does setup take?

About 5 business days from "yes" to live. We do it for you: phone number provisioning, A2P SMS registration, your labor and paint rates, crew accounts, and a training call. You do not have to be technical.

Is my customer data safe?

Yes. Multi-tenant database with row-level isolation, encrypted at rest and in transit, hosted with daily backups. Every Avolv customer's data is walled off from every other customer's. We are working toward SOC 2 Type II for 2026.

Get your evenings back and still send the quote first.

Fifteen minutes on a Zoom and we'll show you exactly what Avolv would look like running your painting business. We'll take off a real job from a walkthrough while you watch, then talk about what makes sense. If Avolv fits, great. If not, we'll point you somewhere that does.
