Frequently Asked Questions
Can I set different rates for interior vs exterior work?
Yes. The calculator separates interior and exterior pricing completely. You can set different per-square-foot rates, adjust multipliers for surface conditions, and configure separate add-on services for each type of work.
How do I handle projects that need an on-site estimate?
The calculator shows an estimate range and includes a disclaimer that final pricing requires inspection. You can customize the submit button to say 'Request Free Estimate' and collect their contact info for follow-up.
Can I add my own paint brands or quality tiers?
Absolutely. The paint quality options are fully customizable. You can rename them, adjust the price multipliers, or add more tiers to match the products you actually use and recommend.
Does it work for commercial painting projects?
The template is designed for residential, but you can customize it for commercial work by adjusting the square footage ranges, adding commercial-specific options, and modifying the pricing structure.
Can I track which website pages generate the most leads?
Yes. You can add tracking parameters and connect the calculator to Google Analytics or your CRM. Webhook integrations let you send lead data directly to your sales tools.
