Tips
How to get a painter invoice paid faster
- List rooms or surfaces separately so the customer can see where the money went.
- Write the paint brand, color, and sheen in the notes. Customers ask for it at touch-up time.
- Bill prep as its own line. It is real work that customers often do not see.
- Use a change order when the customer adds a room or changes colors mid-job.
