Painting Quote Template
Use this painting quote template to organize prep, scope, pricing, and approval more clearly for clients.
A strong painting quote template should help a client understand prep, coatings, exclusions, optional work, and next steps without confusion.
Proproval gives you a better workflow than handwritten quotes, chat messages, PDFs, or spreadsheets because you can create, send, track, and get approval in one place.
Who it is for

It works as a quote template or estimate template, but Proproval turns that structure into a cleaner quoting workflow with online delivery, tracking, and client approval built in.

Common mistakes
Common mistakes to avoid.
Leaving prep work vague
If the quote does not explain prep scope, clients may misunderstand the amount of work behind the price.
Using a spreadsheet as the final client quote
Spreadsheets may be fine internally, but they usually do not present the work professionally or support tracking and approval.

- Reuse common services, prep structures, and pricing across jobs.
