PaintCOST Estimator

PaintCOST Estimator is a Microsoft Excel add-in that facilitates user-friendly reports for painting and wall-covering contractors, professional decorators and builders, as well as amateurs.

It contains cost calculators for finding optimized solutions for space and rooms when it comes to walls, ceilings, floors, doors, windows, coats, and others. In addition to computing estimated costs for materials, it performs the same action for labor, in accordance with the work hours. The generated reports include price quotations and lists with paint to buy.

After setup, make sure to enable macros in Microsof Excel to be able to use this add-in. It gets automatically inserted in the menu bar between "Window" and "Help".

When it comes to estimates, the spreadsheet shows the ID and description, material, label and total costs of the space, along with the work type and a field for writing custom notes. It's possible to add new interior or exterior space, edit space properties, delete rows, clear the estimate worksheet, as well as to generate summary, detailed, label, price quotation or paint order reports.

PaintCOST Estimator enables you to edit job-related information, such as personal, work and billing descriptions, indicate which items to include (e.g. material, label, trims, baseboards), review and customize cost data, examine rates, as well as to save data to image files.
