Pushbuild

Software that keeps a painting contractor's estimates, crews and invoices moving.

We connect the tools a painting company runs on, so a quote request gets an answer the same day, estimates are chased until they are signed, crews know where to be, and finished jobs go to invoice without waiting on paperwork. The scope is written down and agreed before we start.

Sound familiar?

What painting companies tell us before a project starts.

  • Quote requests come in by phone, text and web form and some get no reply.
  • I sent forty estimates and I couldn't tell you which ones are still open.
  • Crew schedules live in a group chat and someone always misses a change.
  • Colors and paint codes are written on a sheet that gets lost between visits.
  • Finished jobs sit uninvoiced for a week because the paperwork is on my truck seat.

CRM workflow, SMS, email

Questions people ask first

Do we have to change the software we use?

No. If you already use Jobber, Housecall Pro or PaintScout, we build around it and connect it to your accounting and messaging.

Who owns what you build?

You do. It is built in your own accounts, and you get notes on how it works so your team can change it without us.

Can it work from the field?

Yes. Crew texts, job sheets and photo uploads all work from a phone.

How do we start?

Tell us which tools you use and the one task that wastes the most time each week. We reply with questions or a written scope.

Tell us what you need built.

Email a few lines about what you want and which tools you use, or call. We reply with questions or a written scope.
