Frequently asked questions
What documents does a painting contractor need?
A quote for residential jobs, a bid for commercial projects, a contract before starting, and an invoice when the job is done. Add an inspection report for pre-work condition documentation.
Can I break down pricing by room or area?
Yes. Painting forms support area-based line items with surface prep, coats, finish type, and pricing per section.
Do the forms handle both interior and exterior work?
Yes. Scope fields accommodate interior rooms, exterior surfaces, specialty areas, and multi-phase projects.
Can I include material specs like paint brand and color?
Yes. Add paint manufacturer, product name, color code, sheen level, and primer details to any quote or proposal.
Do the forms cover lead paint disclosure for pre-1978 properties?
Yes. Painting contracts include space for RRP rule acknowledgment and EPA Renovate Right pamphlet notation — required when disturbing painted surfaces in homes built before 1978.
Is it really free to try without signing up?
Yes. Open any document, fill the guided form, and download the PDF with no account required. Create an account only when you want to save jobs and reuse details across the paperwork flow.
Will the paperwork look professional enough to send to customers or GCs?
Yes. Every document generates as a clean, send-ready PDF with consistent formatting. Download the sample on the page to see the exact layout before you commit.
Do I need to replace my CRM, dispatching, or accounting software?
No. documentorium is the paperwork layer only. Keep the scheduling, CRM, dispatch, and accounting tools that already work for your business.
