You already know how this goes. You walk the job, you take your notes, and then the real work starts once you're home: pulling up a paint calculator app, doing the math on primer coats, and typing everything into an invoice template before the homeowner forgets she even called you. Evalation Tint moves that work back into the room. Scan the walls, ceiling, trim, doors, and cabinets with your iPad's LiDAR sensor, and Tint turns that scan into a finished, line-item paint estimate in about 5 minutes. The same system runs your CRM, your crew schedule, and your invoicing, for one price.
Evalation costs $297 per month for the first 50 founding members, locked for life, with no per-user fees. Here's what that founding rate actually replaces.
Spec card: Evalation for painting contractors
You did three walkthroughs today. Two more homeowners are waiting in a text thread you haven't had time to open. Now you're at the kitchen table with a paint calculator app in one tab and last month's unpaid invoices in another, trying to remember how many gallons of primer that ceiling with the water stain actually needs. The homeowner already texted twice asking if you got her number together. You didn't. By the time you send it, she's talked to two other painters, and one of them already quoted her. You don't know if you lost that job. You just know you're doing this again next Tuesday.
The job doesn't wait for you to catch up on paperwork.
Evalation is built as what's called a CORR platform. CORR (Company, Operations, Relations, and Revenue) is a category of business platform that runs a contractor's entire company in one system, replacing the separate CRM, estimating, project management, and accounting tools contractors traditionally stitch together. Read the full definition. For painting contractors specifically, that starts with Tint.
Walk the room with your iPad and let Tint's LiDAR sensor scan every wall, ceiling, trim line, door, and cabinet, no tape measure, no guessing at square footage. That scan becomes a line-item estimate, walls, trim, ceilings, doors, and cabinets priced out separately, coats and primer built in, in about 5 minutes. Send it before you're back in the truck, while the homeowner is still standing in the driveway.
Every homeowner, every color match, every sheen, and every referral source lives in one record. When a past client calls back for the trim two years later, you already know what you used the first time. Follow-up reminders keep new leads from going cold while you're up a ladder.
See every crew, every job site, and every day's plan on one board. Move a crew when a job runs long, flag a rain delay, and keep materials lined up for the next start date, instead of a text chain spread across three phones.
Send the deposit invoice the same day you send the estimate. Track progress payments as the job moves along, and close it out with a final invoice pulled straight from the original line items, no retyping numbers into a second app. Payments run on Stripe, so the homeowner can pay by card or ACH straight from the invoice. Card processing from 3.1%, bank transfer (ACH) for less. No monthly payment fees, no hidden add-ons.
Evalation Tint is brand new to the painting trade, and we're not going to hand you a quote from a customer who doesn't exist. When a painting contractor has a real result to share, it replaces this paragraph instead of sitting next to it.
Here's what you can actually verify today. The $297 founding rate is public on the pricing page, not a number you have to request on a sales call, and it's locked for life the moment you join, open to the first 50 members only. The founder, David Bassett, built and exited a $5.3M construction company before building this platform. And if you're moving from another system, the Moving Truck Guarantee removes the risk: if it doesn't win you more jobs in 90 days, you get every dollar back and we'll move you anywhere you want to go. Free.
If your crew also handles drywall repair, trim carpentry, or full room remodels alongside paint, see how Evalation works for remodelers.
Yes. Evalation Tint scans the room with LiDAR and builds material and labor line items directly from that scan, room by room and surface by surface, so you don't need a separate calculator app to get to a number.
Yes, through Evalation Tint. Tint is a Lab-family product built specifically for painting contractors. It uses your iPad's LiDAR sensor to scan a room and turns that scan into a full paint estimate, walls, trim, ceilings, doors, and cabinets priced separately. This is a different tool from the structural 3D design Lab that decks, pergolas, concrete, and fencing use to model an entire build. Tint is built around a room and a can of paint, not a structure.
Evalation itself runs on iPadOS 17 or later, on nearly any iPad released in the last 7 years, for standard estimating and CRM work. Tint's LiDAR room scan specifically needs a LiDAR-equipped iPad, meaning a Pro model or a recent Air. Check your model before your first scan if you're not sure which one you're carrying.
Yes. The scheduling board shows every crew and every job site in one view, so you can move a crew, flag a weather delay, or line up materials for the next start date without a scattered group text.
$297 per month for the first 50 founding members, locked for life, with no per-user fees or seat tiers. Members 51 through 550 lock in at $416 per month. After the first 550 spots fill, tiered plans follow. Full details are on the pricing page.
Migrating your existing jobs, contacts, and history into Evalation takes four clicks. If it doesn't win you more jobs in 90 days, you get every dollar back and we'll move you anywhere you want to go. Free. If you're moving from Jobber specifically, see /compare/jobber for a full side-by-side.
Evalation runs your estimates, your CRM, your schedule, and your invoicing on one flat monthly price, with no per-seat math to do first.
