Headr

Painting contractor software for interior and exterior jobs.

Painting jobs come down to the right color, the right weather and a clean walkthrough. Headr locks colors before the start date, checks the weather on exterior jobs, and keeps the job open until the client signs off on the touch-ups.

From $29 a month. Standard is $129 for up to 25 people with a login.

How a painting job runs in Headr

These are the steps Headr sets up when you pick painting at sign-up. Steps marked have to be finished before the job moves on. Steps that only apply sometimes show up when you answer a yes or no question.

Want it shorter? The simple version is 7 steps: Walkthrough and estimate, Signed, Start date booked, Prep, Paint, Walkthrough and touch-ups, Paid. Rename, reorder or add steps any time.
