Customers cannot imagine the color
Paint chips lie. A render of the customer's own house or room in the new color answers the question that stalls most painting decisions.

Quick answer
Grover Work is estimating, invoicing and customer software for painting contractors. Build an estimate from your own rates, show the customer the new color on their own house, take a deposit and get paid online.
Painting software built for the way you work
Painting is won at the estimate. The customer is comparing three bids, and the one that is clear, fast and professional usually wins, even when it is not the cheapest.
Grover Work gives a painter a repeatable way to bid: your rates and standard items in a price book, a written scope the customer can read, and AI renders that show the finished color before a single brush is wet.
Grover Work keeps the whole job in one place. A request becomes a estimate, the accepted estimate becomes a job, the finished job becomes an invoice with a payment link, and the customer's photos, notes and history stay attached the whole way. You see what is waiting for a reply, what is scheduled and what is still unpaid without digging through texts and paper.
Common problems for painting businesses, and how they get fixed
Bids take too long to write
Measuring, pricing prep and coats, and typing it up at night costs evenings. A price book and saved items turn a bid into minutes.
Scope disputes at the end
Which rooms, how many coats, what repairs, who moves the furniture. A written scope with the estimate keeps everyone on the same page.
Waiting on the final payment
Take a deposit to book the job and send the final invoice with a payment link the day you finish.

Painting questions, answered
How do I price a painting job?
Most painters price by surface area or by room, then adjust for prep, number of coats, height, trim detail and materials. Track your real labor hours per square foot so your numbers stay honest, and keep them in a price book so each bid starts from your own rates.
What should a painting estimate include?
The rooms or surfaces covered, prep work, paint brand and number of coats, repairs, who supplies materials, the price, deposit terms and a start window. Putting it in writing prevents most disputes.
Can I show a customer the new paint color before I start?
Yes. Grover Work can generate an AI render from a photo of the customer's house or room and a color chip, so they see the result before they commit. It is an illustration of what it could look like, not a promise of the final result.
What is the best painting estimate software?
Choose one that creates a professional estimate from a phone, turns it into an invoice, and takes payments online. Grover Work does that and adds a price book and customer link for each job.
How do painters get paid faster?
Ask for a deposit when the customer accepts, and send the final invoice with a card or bank payment link the same day the job is done.
How much does Grover Work cost for painters?
Grover Work has plans for solo painters and for growing crews. The pricing page always shows the current prices and what each plan includes, and you can look around and set up your first estimate before you decide on a plan.
Can I use Grover Work from my phone?
Yes. Grover Work is built for the phone first, so you can build a estimate, take job photos, send an invoice and collect payment from the truck or the customer's driveway without going back to the office to do paperwork.
Can my customers pay online?
Yes. Each invoice can carry a payment link, so the customer pays by card or bank from their phone the day they open it, and the payment is matched to the invoice for you instead of being typed in later.
