What DecorMatePro Will Do

Built to help painters and decorators price the whole job—not just the room size.

DecorMatePro® is being designed to bring the site survey, preparation checklist, labour, materials and professional quotation into one simple app.

These are planned capabilities. DecorMatePro is still in development, and features may change as the app is designed, tested and improved.

The planned app

A simple front end, with the hard work handled quietly in the background.

The painter and decorator stays in control at every stage.

Survey the job

Start a customer project, record rooms or larger areas, add photographs and notes, then scan the space or enter measurements manually.

  • Walls and ceilings
  • Doors, windows and openings
  • Skirting, facings and selected woodwork
  • Multiple rooms and site areas

Understand the condition

Help record the state of the surfaces before the quote is built.

  • Cracks, holes and damaged plaster
  • Wallpaper and loose coatings
  • Damp, mould and staining
  • Existing finishes and surface condition

Flag work outside decorating

Prompt the user when an area may need specialist repair before painting and decorating can begin.

  • Possible plastering work
  • Building or joinery repairs
  • Moisture issues requiring investigation
  • The decorator always makes the final decision

Include preparation properly

Build the quote around the work that takes time and is often forgotten.

  • Protection and furniture movement
  • Stripping, cleaning and sanding
  • Filling, caulking and repairs
  • Primers, sealers and undercoats

Calculate materials

Estimate the products required for each part of the job.

  • Ceiling, wall and woodwork paint
  • Primer, undercoat and specialist coatings
  • Filler, caulk, abrasives and masking

Help estimate labour

Use the chosen work and the company's own way of pricing to build a realistic labour allowance.

  • Preparation and coating time
  • Travel, access and job difficulty
  • Editable rates and final judgement

Price with confidence

Bring labour and materials together, then allow for business costs and profit before the quote is sent.

Turn the approved job scope into a clear customer quotation.
