Booking software for New Zealand painters and decorators.
Customers book the measure-up themselves, and the repaint goes out as three levels of prep they choose from.

The measure-up books itself, at your price
Share your link and they take a slot with the address and how many rooms attached, so you turn up knowing whether it is a morning or a day.

A week on a villa, held as one job
Work that runs all week sits on the timeline as one block, so nothing gets sold into the middle of your undercoat.
Learn moreNothing here is priced from a photo.
Every repaint starts with somebody standing in the room, so the only thing your page sells outright is the visit: its own price, its own length, and the address and the room count attached before the ladders come off the rack.

You can see whose price was opened.
Sent, opened, signed, on one list with the date beside each. So Friday's follow-up goes to the customer who read it twice on Tuesday, rather than to the eight who never opened it at all.

Measure-ups and quote visits
The measure-up is its own service at its own price and length, so it takes a real gap in your week instead of a phone call at seven at night.
Villa and bungalow exteriors
A week of diary held as one job, quoted with the wash, the scraping and the two coats itemised so the prep is not a surprise.
Interior repaints, room by room
The customer picks how many rooms they are doing and the price moves with it, and anything past a couple goes out as a quote.
Lead paint testing and containment
Anything painted in the eighties or earlier gets the testing and the containment written on the quote as their own priced lines.
Roof repaints and moss washes
A quote visit first, then options for a wash and reseal or a full repaint, because nobody prices a roof from the driveway.
Ceilings, scotias and touch-ups
The small stuff carries a set price rather than a quote, so a water-stained ceiling books itself and stays a half-day.
Fences, decks and joinery
Oiling and staining booked as their own service with the length you actually need, so it is not squeezed onto the end of a Friday.
Wallpaper and feature walls
Hanging and stripping priced as separate lines on the quote, because taking the old paper off is the half nobody budgets for.
Rental turnovers between tenants
A same-week repaint the property manager books off your page, with the job and what you used kept on that property for the next tenant.
Body corporate and common areas
A manager with a book of buildings sits on one customer record, every block and its colour history kept separate from the others.
Freshen it up, do it properly, or strip it back.
Put all three on the one quote with your recommendation marked, and let them choose how much prep they are paying for.
Three levels of prep, one document, with Pro
Each option itemised down to the wash, the scraping, the undercoat and the number of coats, so the jump from a freshen-up to a strip-back is a number they can see.
They pick a level of prep and sign it there
On their phone, the night of the measure-up, instead of ringing back in a fortnight to ask what the middle one included again.
The one they signed books itself
It becomes a job in the diary against that address, priced at the option they chose and as long as you said it would take.
It expires when you say
Put a use-by date on the price, so the paint you costed in spring cannot be held to that number once the tin has gone up.

Booked out to Christmas? You still get the job.
When your page has no times left, the customer asks for one instead of ringing the next painter on the list.
It arrives as a request, not a lost call
The rooms they want done and the weeks that suit them land in your inbox, in the same thread as everything else that customer has said to you.
Accept turns it into a booking
One tap puts it in the diary and emails them a confirmation. Decline is one tap too, and they are told without you writing the message.
Or hold it for the dry months
Nothing stops you dropping it into a week you know you will have. The request is a way in, not a rule about your calendar.
Photos of the hallway attached. Happy to wait for a week that suits you — how far ahead are you booking at the moment?
Only the suburbs you will cart the gear to.
Draw the suburbs you cover on a map, split them between your painters, and work you would knock back never lands on your week.
Real suburbs, not a radius
Claim suburbs off actual boundary lines, or sweep everything within a distance of a point in one go. An address is matched to the suburb it truly falls inside.
A patch each, and the right hand on it
Hold as many named suburbs as you work, each with its own colour and its own painters, and a job is only ever offered to someone who covers that patch.
Or do not offer it there at all
Keep the one-room jobs close to home and let the full exteriors run wider, by leaving a service out of the suburbs you would not tow the trailer to.

The address remembers the colour.
The shade, the sheen and the product that went on those walls, kept against the property rather than in your head — and against each property separately, so a manager with a book of buildings is one customer and not nine. When they ring three years later about matching the hallway, you are reading it back rather than guessing at it.
Rain stops the exterior. Move the week.
Grab the job and drop it where the weather works. Nothing commits until you let go, and it costs nothing to do it.
Drag it anywhere, on any plan
Move a job to another day or another painter and the week redraws around it. This is not the Pro bit.
The customer is told, if you want
Switch the reschedule notice on and they get the new date by email. Off by default, because not every move is worth a message.
Nothing double-books
A day that is gone is gone, on your page and in the diary, so a measure-up never lands in the middle of a second coat.
Paid before the drop sheets are folded.
Mark it off when the transfer clears, or take the card on the last day and let the receipt send itself.
Cash and bank transfer, free
Record what you were paid and when, against the job, on the Free plan. Most repaints are settled by transfer and never needed a card reader.
Cards come with Pro
Charge the job in full, tap the card on site, or split a full exterior into money at the start and the balance at handover.
The receipt sends itself
When the payment goes through the customer is emailed a receipt, so the building manager has their paperwork without you chasing it.
Into your own account
The money is paid out to your own Stripe account, not held somewhere in Bookables.

Common questions.
Yes. The measure-up is its own service on your booking page at its own price and length, and they take a slot you are genuinely free for with the address already on it.
Yes. Itemise the wash, the scraping, the undercoat and the coats, then put the freshen-up and the full strip-back side by side on the one quote with your pick marked.
Make the testing and containment work its own priced line on the quote. Anything painted in the eighties or earlier is presumed lead-based, and that line is the one customers query most, so it should be written down rather than explained twice.
Open the week, drag the outside jobs to days that still work and pull an interior forward. Turn the reschedule notice on if you want the customer emailed the new date.
Yes. One customer record holds any number of addresses, each with its own notes and job history, so what you put on one block stays on that block.
Record cash or a bank transfer against the job on the Free plan, which is how most repaints are still settled. Card payments come with Pro, paid out to your own Stripe account.
