- Save the color codes on the customer's page; the touch-up call two years later is a two-minute answer.
- The core of painting CRM is on Koira's Grow plan, $249 a month plus usage, with no per-person fee.
- Customer page or portal and automatic estimate follow-ups decide most of it for painters.
What a CRM does for a painting company
Painting customers come back every few years and send their neighbors. A painter's CRM remembers the colors, the rooms and the year, and asks for the review while the paint is fresh.
It also brings back the quotes that did not close: the exterior pushed to spring, the cabinets the customer wanted to think about.
What to keep on every painting customer
- Colors and finishes used by room
- Brand and sheen
- Year of the last job
- Exterior or interior
- Quotes declined and why
- Neighbors on the street
- Photos before and after
- Review asked and left
What a CRM should do for painters
- A page for every customer with every visit, estimate and invoice
- Follow-ups on open estimates
- Seasonal asks to past customers
- Review asks after paid jobs
- Website, which matters for painters
How Koira does it
In Koira every customer of a painting company has a page, on every plan: visits, estimates to sign, invoices to pay, receipts and a way to book again, from one link in every text, with no app or password. Notes like colors and finishes used by room live with the customer, and review asks go out after every paid job.
Grow, $249 a month plus usage at cost, puts the record to work: calls answered on a Koira number, open estimates nudged on day two and day four, and past customers texted and emailed when the season turns, with one tap to book.
For painters in particular
- Review requests. Every paid job gets the review ask an hour later, with your Google link, on every plan.
- Website. Koira builds your site on Office, the free plan, and job photos post to it.

From Jobber pricing and Housecall Pro pricing, checked October 8, 2026; Houzz Pro pricing, checked October 9, 2026. Jobber's pricing page blocks a plain fetch and changes its prices with a team size picker, so we read it in a real browser. The $29 a month per added user is in the note behind each plan's user count. Part of Housecall Pro's pricing page fills in by script and it was running first-month offers when we checked. The plan prices below are the regular ones its plan cards show. Houzz Pro's pricing page blocks a plain fetch, so we read it in a real browser. A cell names the lowest plan that lists the feature; "Not listed" means we did not see it, so ask. Prices change often, so check the page before you buy.
