Why painters pick Ovaro
The jobs are done. The paperwork doesn't have to be.
Quote by the room
Speak it: 'living room two coats matt, hallway three coats, woodwork eggshell' — Ovaro itemises and prices it.
Invoice when brushes are washed
Job finished at 4pm? Send the invoice at 4:05pm with a Stripe link. Customer pays before tea.
Materials cost recovery
Add paint, sundries and dust sheets as line items so customers see exactly what they're paying for.
