You finished the job. Did you actually make money?

Most contractors estimate a job, do the work and move on, never finding out whether it hit the margin. By the time the bank statement says so, it's too late to fix.

Labor overruns

Your crew took 38 hours on a job priced for 32. At $40 an hour, that’s $240 out of your margin.

Paint waste

Extra coats, touch-ups, surface surprises: two gallons over on every job adds up fast.

No visibility

Without real numbers, you can't tell which jobs pay and which are quietly losing money.

Three steps. Full control.

From the estimate to the real profit. CoatEngine closes the loop other estimating tools leave open.

  1. Estimate

    Measure the rooms and surfaces, pick the paint and coats. CoatEngine works out gallons, labor hours and costs, and builds the quote you send as a link or a PDF.

  2. Execute

    Do the work. When the job is done, record what really happened: hours, gallons, crew and extras.

  3. Compare

    See where you made money and where you didn't. Then adjust your rates and factors, so your next estimate starts from real numbers.

Estimated vs. Actual, on every job

When a job closes, your estimate sits next to what really happened, in the same numbers you quoted.
