From colour choices to the final room invoice
This is an illustrative workflow using the existing shared tools in Trade PA. You supply the findings and prices; Eve helps with the admin.
Record rooms, colours and customer expectations
The customer has picked wall colours, but the woodwork, repairs and protection need an agreed scope too. Save the customer, property and reported work in the job record.
Check repairs, surfaces and access
Record what you have checked before you commit to the work:
- Rooms, surfaces and measured areas
- Preparation and repair allowance
- Paint products, colours and finish
- Furniture movement, access and protection
Separate preparation from the agreed finishes
List preparation separately from decorating. Record additional repairs or changed colours before updating the agreed price. Review the draft, send it when ready and add the agreed visit to your diary.
Save colour references and approved extras
Save the final product and colour notes for repeat work. Draft the balance invoice and follow up outstanding payment.

Call answering is a purchasable add-on. It is not included in your standard app plan or free trial. This example shows the enquiry you receive after an unanswered call: the customer’s request and callback details. You still confirm the appointment and price. How the add-on works →
Guided example using fictional customers. Nothing is sent, booked, purchased or saved to a real account. These are the app’s real screens, using a separate example workspace.
Ready to hand over your own admin?
Start with the core app. Call answering must be purchased and set up separately.
More work in your day
For the jobs painters & decorators actually take on.
Keep the details that change the scope, the visit and the final bill.
Whole-room decorating
Keep wall, ceiling and woodwork finishes together. Quote the preparation and surfaces agreed during the visit.
Changed colours or repairs
Record extra filling, paper removal or a changed finish before revising the price. Keep the customer’s decision in the job notes.
Repeat customers
Retain product names, colour references and sheen levels so a later touch-up or adjoining room starts with useful details.
A few things to know.
Can I keep colour choices for the next visit?
Yes. Record the products, colours and agreed finishes in the customer’s job notes so you can refer to them when preparing repeat work.
Is this a separate app for painters & decorators?
No. It is the same Trade PA app, with examples showing how the shared tools fit this trade. Use your own scope, prices and job details to make it fit the way you work.
What should I try first?
Create a test customer and a draft for “redecorate a hallway and staircase”. Add your own scope and prices, check the wording, then explore the appointment and invoice tools. You can review the draft without sending it.
