QuoteSmith understands the painting and decorating trade inside and out
Interior painting, exterior painting, wallpapering, ceiling work, woodwork gloss and satinwood, masonry painting, feature walls, mist coating new plaster, commercial decorating, and period property restoration — QuoteSmith handles them all. The AI generates accurate scopes covering preparation, priming, undercoating, and finishing coats.
The AI knows painting and decorating terminology — mist coat, undercoat, eggshell, satinwood, gloss, emulsion, masonry paint, sugar soap wash, caulking, filling and sanding, cutting in, and roller application. Your proposals include professional language that demonstrates real trade knowledge to clients.
Break down your quotes into clear line items — preparation and making good, ceilings (mist coat + 2 coats emulsion), walls (2 coats emulsion), woodwork (undercoat + gloss/satinwood), wallpapering per roll, and external masonry. Each item shows the area, rate, and amount. VAT is calculated automatically.
Upload your logo, set your brand colours, and add your company details including trade body memberships and public liability insurance. Every PDF looks like it came from an established decorating firm — helping you stand out from the painters who still quote via text message.
Generate a professional painting and decorating proposal from your phone while you're still walking through the property with the client. No more going home, measuring up from memory, and sending a price two days later. Impress clients with a detailed proposal before you've left the driveway.
For whole-house decorating jobs, break your quote into room-by-room costings with colour specifications. The AI generates clear breakdowns per room — ceiling colour, wall colour, woodwork colour, number of coats, and paint brand. Clients can see the full plan at a glance and make changes before you start.
Three simple steps to a professional painting & decorating proposal
Fill in the client's details, describe the decorating work, and add your line items — preparation, ceilings, walls, woodwork, wallpapering, external masonry, and more. Include room dimensions and rates for each item.
Our AI writes a detailed scope of work covering preparation, paint systems, number of coats, colour schedules, drying times between coats, and professional terms and conditions tailored to the decorating trade. It knows about surface preparation, primer compatibility, and weather requirements for exterior work.
Download your branded PDF proposal and send it to the client via email or WhatsApp. You can also revise and regenerate the content if you need to adjust anything before sending.
QuoteSmith handles every type of painting and decorating project
Real feedback from painters and decorators using QuoteSmith every day
"I used to send a quick WhatsApp message with a price — 'Full house interior, 3 bed semi, £2,800'. Now I send a branded PDF with room-by-room breakdowns, paint specifications, and number of coats. Won a 6k period property job because the client said my proposal showed attention to detail. She got four quotes — mine was the only proper one."
"As a one-man band, I was losing out to bigger decorating firms because their quotes looked more professional. QuoteSmith levels the playing field. I now win about 7 out of 10 quotes — up from maybe 3 out of 10 before. The proposals mention preparation, primer systems, and drying times. Clients trust that level of detail."
"I do a lot of exterior work and the AI includes details about pressure washing, scraping and sanding, stabilising solution, primer, undercoat, and topcoat systems. No more 'what's included?' phone calls because everything is spelled out in the proposal. It's also stopped clients trying to haggle because they can see exactly what goes into the price."
