Jobber set up for interior and exterior painting, by someone who sells it.
Painting work has its own products, its own recurring rhythm, and its own ways to lose money in Jobber. We set up the account the way a painting dispatcher and estimator actually need it. It starts with a 10-minute call.
Three things we fix in most painting accounts
Every trade breaks Jobber in its own way. These are the ones we see most for painting companies.
Turn requests arriving by text and email and never landing in one place, so units are missed.
No per-floor-plan pricing in the products list, so every turn is a fresh estimate.
Turns invoiced weeks late because the job never got closed in the app.
The line items a painting estimator should be picking from. Short, consistent units, real prices. Yours will look like this, with your numbers.
- Unit turn, per floor plan
- Ceiling add-on
- Door and trim add-on
- Drywall repair, per patch
- Exterior repaint, per building
- Common area repaint, per area
How the recurring work is built
A rate sheet for turns as products, a request form the manager uses to submit turns with move-out dates, and project quotes for exteriors.
If you bill any management company or commercial account, this structure is the difference between one clean invoice and forty confusing ones. It is also what makes selling interior and exterior painting to property managers possible at scale.
Build what you need. Skip what you don't.

Set up Jobber for multifamily and commercial accounts: parent clients and properties, per-property pricing, recurring visits, batch invoicing, and PM reports.
Read itHow should a painting company handle apartment turn requests in Jobber?
A request form the manager or maintenance supervisor fills out with the unit, floor plan, and move-out date. It creates the job, applies the flat rate, schedules it, and invoices on completion. No text messages, no missed units.
Can Jobber store per-floor-plan pricing for each property?
Yes. Floor plans are products with fixed prices, and the property record notes which floor plans exist at that community. The estimator picks the plan and the price is set.
How long does a Jobber setup take for painting companies?
A clean new setup takes one to two weeks. A cleanup of an active account takes two to four weeks because we work around your live schedule. Either way it starts with a short interview and a 10-minute call about your account.
What does Jobber consulting cost for a painting company?
The simple setup is a flat $800. Add-ons are flat priced from $100 each, so you build what you need and skip what you do not. A few items depend on the size of your account and are hourly at $200, with the typical range shown. You know the price before anything starts.
