Software for painting contractors, from the walkthrough to the yes

Painting work is won twice: once when someone answers the call and books the walkthrough, and again when someone follows up on the estimate. Halo handles the first, and the estimate follow-up tool handles the second, so neither depends on you remembering from a ladder.

The problem

Two places the job slips away

Most painting contractors do their own estimating. That means the phone rings while you are cutting in a ceiling or on an extension ladder, and the homeowner who wanted a walkthrough this week books whoever called back first.

Then, once the estimate goes out, the client goes quiet, the schedule fills with jobs already booked, and nobody follows up. A second quote arrives on their counter, and it was the company that checked in that got the job.

Where it costs you

The moments that lose the work

The walkthrough request. “Can someone come look at the outside this week?” A booked walkthrough is the start of every job, and it is the call most likely to go to voicemail.
The estimate that goes quiet. You priced the prep, the coats and the trim. The client meant to reply. Without a follow-up, careful pricing loses to a faster callback.
The spring rush. Exterior season compresses everyone's demand into the same few months, and the calls arrive when your crews are busiest.
The “ballpark” question. Some callers just want to know if a room is a few hundred or a few thousand. If you have a starting price you are comfortable publishing, they stop asking you.
What fits

What we would build

Estimate follow-up for painting contractors Two short notes under your company name, a few days after the estimate and again the week after, stopping the moment the client replies. Try the demo. Halo, booking walkthroughs Answers in your name, asks interior or exterior, rooms or stories, and when, then books the walkthrough into a free slot in your calendar. A starting-price calculator Room count and type to a starting range, if you price that way. We publish only what you are happy to stand behind. Review requests after the job Built for landscapers, and it fits painting just as well: mark a job done and the customer gets your Google review link, with one reminder.

Questions people ask

Who do the follow-ups come from?

Your company, under your business name, in wording you write or approve.

Does my crew have to learn new software?

No. The follow-up works off how you quote now, and Halo just answers the phone.

Will Halo quote a paint job?

No. It books the walkthrough. If you publish a starting price, it can say that price and nothing more.

Can it book walkthroughs into my calendar?

Yes, into Google, Outlook or Apple, only into times that are genuinely free.

Is the estimate follow-up a finished product?

The demo is a working copy with sample data. A real setup is built around your company, scoped and priced before we start.
