What a painting company needs, and where it sits in QuoteIQ
Painters win on bids and reviews, and most bids are lost to silence. Great jobs with no reviews to show for them: that is the problem software has to fix. QuoteIQ lists painting among its industries; here is where each thing painters rely on sits in its plans.
| What you need | QuoteIQ | Koira |
|---|---|---|

| Automatic estimate follow-ups The painter who checks in on day two is the painter who gets the job. | Pro (email and text automation) | Grow, on day two and day four, then it stops |

Where Koira does it differently for painters
Website. On QuoteIQ: Max (AI Website Builder). Koira builds your site on Office, the free plan, and job photos post to it.
Automatic estimate follow-ups. On QuoteIQ: Pro (email and text automation). Two short, polite texts on day two and day four, then Koira stops.
Worked example: one 14 by 12 living room
One 14 by 12 living room, walls only, on the free painting cost calculator, comes to $370 to $740 (typical $560, about 3 gallons of paint).
| Step | The math |
|---|---|
| Wall area per room | 2 × (14 + 12) ft × 8 ft − 45 sq ft of doors and windows = 371 sq ft |
| All rooms | 1 × 371 = 371 sq ft of wall |
| Rates | Walls $1.00 to $2.00 per sq ft |
| Labor adjusted for the US average | ×1, national prices. Add your ZIP to adjust labor to your state. |
| Total | $370 to $740, typical $560 |
| Paint to buy | 371 sq ft × 2 coats ÷ 350 sq ft a gallon = 3 gallons |
A year of QuoteIQ Pro for one person, at its lowest published rate, is $2,000, about 357% of this one job at the typical price of $560. Koira Grow for a year is $2,988, about 534% of it.
