Built for how painters actually work.
Quality painting requires meticulous prep work and the right materials. Your estimates should reflect that. Krue understands painting terminology, knows material costs across brands, and generates estimates that communicate the difference between a quick coat and a professional finish.
Speaks Your Language
Krue is trained on painting terminology:
Surface prep and drywall repair
Primer selection and application
Paint sheen levels (flat to gloss)
Spray, brush, and roller techniques
Cabinet refinishing and trim work
Deck staining and exterior finishes
You say "3,200 sq ft interior with knockdown texture repair, semi-gloss trim, and eggshell walls using Benjamin Moore Regal Select." Krue knows exactly what that involves, what materials to price, and how long it takes.

Professional Presentation
Your estimates include:
Clients see an estimate from an established painting contractor, even if you've been in business six months.
"After 17 years painting everything from tract homes to custom estates, I know my prep work sets me apart. But explaining why my estimate is higher than the competition's was killing me. Krue breaks down surface prep, lists premium materials with VOC ratings, and shows cure times. Now clients understand they're paying for quality. My conversion rate went from 40% to 68%."
