Schedule Painting Crews Across Multiple Jobs

One crew is finishing an interior repaint while another is prepping an exterior. Then rain pushes the exterior job back, and you need to move the crew somewhere else.

Cinderblock gives you a shared calendar for painting appointments, crew assignments, and upcoming work. Drag and drop appointments when plans change. Keep prep work, painting visits, and touch-ups connected to the right job, along with the notes and photos your crew needs.

Whether you’re managing a two-day residential repaint or several commercial painting jobs, you can see what’s scheduled and what still needs attention without piecing everything together from calls and messages.

Keep Your Painting Business Organized From Estimate to Invoice

Cinderblock brings your painting jobs, crew schedules, customer records, and paperwork together. Whether you’re managing residential repaints or commercial work that takes multiple visits, the details stay connected to the job.

Job Management

Keep color selections, surface prep instructions, photos, appointments, and invoices with each painting job. The wrong finish on the wrong surface means rework. Clear job notes give your crew something to check before they open the can.

Crew Scheduling

Assign painters to appointments and manage prep days, painting visits, and final walkthroughs from one calendar. Move appointments when weather, drying time, or site access changes the plan.

Painting Contractor CRM

Keep customer contact information, previous jobs, and related activity together. When a customer asks what went on the living room walls two years ago, it’s in the job notes, as long as your crew logged it.

Tasks and Checklists

Assign tasks for masking, patching, sanding, painting, and cleanup, with due dates and subtasks. Save templates for repeat work on the Build plan so you’re not rebuilding the same checklist on every repaint.

Estimates and Invoices

Build estimates from saved services and materials, itemized by prep, labor, and finish work. Send them for customer acceptance, use automated reminders to follow up on outstanding estimates, and turn approved estimates into invoices.

Purchase Orders and Job Costs

On the Build plan, link purchase orders to painting jobs and track labor, materials, and other expenses. See what each job is costing when prep takes longer than expected or another materials run eats into the budget.

Mobile App

Use Cinderblock’s iOS and Android apps to check job details, work with tasks, and add notes or photos on-site. Some features work offline, but not every feature or record is available without an internet connection.

Crew Notes and Updates

Keep job instructions and updates with the work. Mention team members in job notes so they can find details about prep work, color selections, or touch-ups without digging through separate message threads.
