How a painting week runs in Fixerlane
Estimate by the room or the square foot
Build the estimate from your price book — walls per room, ceilings, trim by the linear foot, cabinet doors, exterior wall by the square foot — with gallons as their own lines.
Quoting →Good, better, best
Offer options on one quote — walls only, or walls, ceiling and trim — and let the homeowner pick and approve online, with a deposit to hold the dates.
Quoting →Colours and sheens where the crew sees them
Colour names, sheens per room, furniture to move and which rooms are off limits go on the job and the property, so they are on every visit for whoever is painting.
Scheduling →Multi-day jobs and weather days
A job can run over several visits with a crew on each. When rain pushes an exterior, drag the day on the calendar.
Scheduling →Hours, paint and what the job really cost
Painters clock in and out on the visit, paint and sundries go in as expenses, and job costing shows whether that estimate made money.
Before and after, then the invoice
Photo the walls on a checklist before you start and when you finish, invoice from the job, and take card payments through Stripe straight into your account.
Invoicing →Software that also finds you the work
Most painting software assumes you already have the customers. Fixerlane is also where homeowners look for a pro: claim your free listing and people searching for painting near them can find you, call you and send you an enquiry. The listing and the leads stay free, whether or not you ever pay for the tools.

What Fixerlane does not do yet
Listed here rather than discovered after you sign up:
- Production-rate estimating — Fixerlane prices from your rates per room, foot or square foot, not hours per surface
- Change orders and progress or staged billing — send a new quote or a second invoice instead
- Customer financing
- Text message reminders — customers get email and app notifications instead
- Takeoff from plans for commercial bids
One price, the whole crew
Fixerlane is $19.99 a month or $149.99 a year, with no charge per user. Fixerlane + AI is $29.99 a month and adds an assistant that drafts quotes, schedules visits and answers questions about your business. Both start with a 7-day free trial.
Compare plans →Common questions
- What is painting contractor software?
- One place to keep your customers, estimate jobs, schedule crews, record hours and paint, and send invoices — instead of a notepad estimate, a calendar and a payment app that do not talk to each other.
- Can I estimate by the room and by the square foot?
- Yes. Price book items can be per room, per square foot, per linear foot or per door, and a quote can mix them, with exact quantities like 2,200 sq ft or 6 gallons.
- Is there a starter price list for painters?
- Yes. The price book can load a painting list — rooms, ceilings, trim, cabinets, exterior, deck staining, wallpaper removal, colour consultation and paint — that you set to your own prices.
- Can I take a deposit before I start?
- Yes. Ask for a deposit on the quote, as a set amount or a share of the total, and the homeowner pays it by card.
- Is it for commercial takeoff?
- No. Fixerlane is built for residential and light commercial painters who quote from a walk-through, not from plan takeoffs.
- Can I use it with more than one crew?
- Yes. Add painters and crews at no extra cost — there are no per-user charges — and assign each visit to a person or a crew.
- How will homeowners find me?
- Claim your free Fixerlane listing. Homeowners searching for painters in your city see it, and their enquiries arrive in your lead inbox. The listing and the leads stay free whether or not you pay for the tools.
