Why painting contractors run on Clevra
You're a painting contractor. You're juggling three exterior jobs that depend on weather, two interior repaints that depend on the homeowner moving furniture, and a punch list from last week that won't close itself.
Clevra is painting contractor software that handles scheduling, quoting, invoicing, and crew management from your phone. You quote the job, schedule the days, bill on completion, and move on. No spreadsheets. No going back to the office.
Solo painter running residential repaints? Managing a crew across commercial and residential work? Clevra fits both. The free plan covers one seat with unlimited customers.
Schedule multi-day jobs, exteriors, and punch lists — in one view
Painting jobs aren't one-and-done service calls. An interior repaint might take 3 days. An exterior might take 5 — or 7 if it rains. You need scheduling software that blocks multiple days per job, full days and multi-day blocks.
Clevra's drag-and-drop schedule handles multi-day jobs. Block Monday through Wednesday for the interior. Block Thursday and Friday for the exterior. When rain pushes Friday to next week, drag it. Clevra notifies the customer.
Punch list items from a finished job? Schedule them as a follow-up visit so they don't get lost in your head.
Crew assignment. Two crews, two jobs. Assign based on who's available. Your crew sees their schedule on their phone before they load the van.
Quote by room, by square foot, or by project — whatever the customer needs
A homeowner wants the living room and two bedrooms painted. The property manager needs all 12 units turned between tenants. The commercial client wants the whole exterior — primer plus two coats.
Open Clevra, build a quote: per-room pricing, square footage pricing, or flat project rate. Andsend it for digital signature. The customer signs before your crew shows up.
Paint prices keep going up. Material costs change. With Clevra, edit the quote, adjust the line items, and resend. The customer sees the updated price instantly. No stale quotes sitting in an inbox.
Color changes mid-job. The homeowner decided they want Agreeable Gray instead of Alabaster. Log it in the job notes. Update the quote if scope changed. Keep a paper trail.
Invoice on completion. Stop waiting 30 days.
The interior's done. The punch list is closed. The customer is happy. Instead of mailing an invoice and waiting three weeks, tap "Convert to invoice" in Clevra. The quote line items carry over. Send by text or email.
The customer pays on the spot — card, ACH, or a link they open later. Automatic reminders handle the ones who forget.
Quote too low and you lost money? Clevra's job costing gives you visibility into what you actually spent vs what you quoted. Know your margins before you quote the next one the same way.
Crew management without the spreadsheet
Running a paint crew means tracking who's where, who's available, and who needs to finish the punch list before starting the next job.
Clevra's built-in HR handles onboarding, time tracking, PTO, and crew records. New hire starts Monday? Onboard them in the app. They see their schedule on their phone.
Track every lead. Win more repaints and projects.
Painting leads come from yard signs, Google, Nextdoor, and referrals. The repaints are bread and butter. The big project —a whole house exterior, a commercial lobby. is where the money is. Track both.
Clevra's CRM gives you a sales pipeline. Every lead gets a stage: quoted, follow-up, won, lost. You see which proposals are out and which need a nudge. For painting contractors doing both residential and commercial, the pipeline keeps project bids from falling through the cracks.
Before-and-after photos. Built in.
Painting customers care about the transformation. Before-and-after photos aren't just documentation — they're marketing. Attach photos to every job in Clevra. Use them in proposals for the next customer. Resolve disputes when someone says "you missed a spot."
Before, during, and after. In a PDF, not a camera roll.
Surface prep, primer coats, color matches, finish work. A painting job is hard to prove once the tape comes down and the drop cloths are folded. Clevra's work forms capture progress photos and notes at each stage.
The customer gets a branded PDF showing what was done. You get proof that the prep work actually happened.
