Painter Quote & Invoice Software South Africa
Painters in South Africa quote jobs by room, by square metre, or as fixed project prices — and clients expect to see paint, primer, preparation labour, and scaffolding or ladder work broken out clearly. A vague single-line quote leads to arguments about what was included, especially when cracks need filling or old enamel must be stripped. The Trade Kit lets you build detailed painting quotes with separate lines for surface preparation, primer coats, top coats, ceiling versus wall work, and materials like Plascon or Dulux specified by name. Quote interior repaints for sectional title units, exterior weatherproofing for coastal homes, and commercial spray jobs for office parks — all with 15% VAT calculated automatically if you are registered. Send the quote from site, adjust line items when the client adds a room, and invoice the full amount when the final coat dries. Your customer list grows with every estate agent and property manager who appreciates professional paperwork. Stop spending Sunday nights on invoices and get back to the brush.
Frequently asked questions
- How should painters structure a quote?
- Separate preparation (filling, sanding), primer, paint supply, and labour by area or room. Include the number of coats and paint brand for clarity.
- Can I add a call-out fee for small painting jobs?
- Yes. Add travel or minimum call-out fees as line items so small jobs remain profitable.
