Question 1

Does the proposal generator handle surface prep + paint separately?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Most painters structure proposals as: surface prep (scraping, sanding, caulking) as one line, primer where needed, paint application by coats and area. The AI is good at organizing the proposal into prep + paint sections so the customer sees the actual work.

Question 2

Can it handle sq-ft based pricing?

Accepted Answer

Yes — line items can be qty × rate where qty is square footage and rate is your sq-ft rate. The invoice generator displays the calculation clearly so customers don't have to guess.

Question 3

What about exterior jobs that depend on weather?

Accepted Answer

The scheduling tool lets you reschedule with a single click. Branded confirmation emails go out to the customer with the new date. The AI is also good at writing the 'we have to push your job a few days due to rain' email so it doesn't feel like flaking.

Question 4

Does it integrate with PaintScout or Estimate Rocket?

Accepted Answer

No direct integrations with painting-specific estimating tools. Operaite handles the broader business workflow (invoicing, proposals, reviews, marketing). Most painting owners we talked to use a measurement app for sq-footage and Operaite for everything else.
