Why painting takeoff is different

Your trade has its own units. So does the AI.

Painting estimating lives and dies on square footage and coats. You're scaling every wall and ceiling off the plans, subtracting openings, separating primer from finish, splitting interior from exterior, and then deciding how many coats each surface really needs before you can price labor and gallons. Get the wall area wrong by ten percent and your whole bid is wrong — too high and you lose the job, too low and you eat the difference. P2P reads the floor plans and elevations, measures paintable wall and ceiling area surface by surface, applies your coats and spread rates, and prices it against your labor and material costs, so you can quote a painting job in minutes instead of an evening with a scale ruler.

What you get

From painting plans to a bid-ready number.

Automatic wall & ceiling takeoff

Upload the plans and the AI measures paintable square footage room by room, nets out doors and windows, and separates interior, exterior, walls and ceilings for you.

Coats and spread rates, applied

Set primer and finish coats per surface and your gallons-per-square-foot, and the estimate calculates paint, labor hours, and cost the way you actually bid.

Questions

Painting estimating — FAQ

How does AI measure paintable square footage?
P2P reads the floor plans and elevations to calculate wall and ceiling area surface by surface, then nets out doors, windows, and openings — so you start from measured area, not a rough guess.
Can I set my own coats and spread rates?
Yes. You control primer and finish coats per surface and your gallons-per-square-foot, so the paint and labor numbers match how your crews actually work.
Does it handle interior and exterior painting?
Yes. The takeoff separates interior walls, ceilings, and exterior surfaces, so commercial repaints and new-construction jobs both price correctly.
How much does a painting estimate cost?
Roughly $25–$75 per estimate depending on the size of the plan set, drawn from your credit balance. Plans start free and you only pay for estimates you run.
Do I need an account to try it?
No. Upload a blueprint and get a free painting takeoff with no login. Create an account when you want to save, re-price, and send the estimate.
How accurate is the painting takeoff?
It's built to get you ~90% of the way to a bid in minutes. Every estimate is a draft you review and adjust before sending — the AI removes the measuring grind, you keep final judgment.
