Love the program so far. It's simple enough for a dummy to operate.

First let me say outstanding job Rosa putting this program together that is afordable for small residential contractors like myself. It is extremely user friendly & quick to learn. It definitely dominates all of the other programs I have used or demoed. It allows me to put just the info that I want in it. Its not cluttered with info that I dont need, cant delete or edit. 

Once I put all of my data into the program (which took many hours) and doing many dummy estimates to check things and fine tune I was ready to go. I can do most estimates in under 30 minutes (meaning from take-offs to print)... the big ones take a bit longer. I have also increased my closing ratio by doing mobil estimates. My pricing have been consistant. The only typing I do is name, address, colors, and some misc side notes... other than that its all point and click. I went into the "edit estimate template" and typed in my own contract and info.

Most of my estimates are done before I leave the site. That is a huge benifit to me. No more late nights, or back logged estimates. We have all been there.

There are a TON of benifits to go with this program...

Devwave's software prints different now, and has editable templates so you can set it up any way you want to look. I consistently get compliments on how professional our proposals look in comparison to the competition. 

Bang for your buck - You will not find a better, more complete method of estimating for the price. Period. You can take my word for it, I've beta tested about 3 versions of this software now and I've owned almost all the others as well...

I use the same program too... I am also testing their new bata program that works with word... there programs get better but the dont jack their prices up...

Just so I dont have to type a long page... whatever AA said I agree 100%... nice program... YES you do need to spend a little time with it to load your OWN production rates and terms etc... once that is done.. you can produce a nice formated estimate very quickly...

I was using the PEP program for awhile and really liked that program... however... I have gone mobil for my estimates so I would of had to buy the PEP program again for 10x's what I originally paid for it... and then maintenace fees on top of that... no thanks! its not worth the money...

as far as the Paint Pro software... YES!! it is worth every penny.... once all your data is entered... all you need to do is type in your customers name and address... after that its all point and click... save.. print... 

I have done about 12 mobil estimates so far with this program... I have sold every single job... they sign the contract before I leave their house... they were very impressed too...

While they are reading all the information I put together about my company and the benifits I offer...I call it the "Silent Sales Man" I am in my truck printing the estimate... by the time they are done going through the info. I am done with the estimate...

Hello Rose! 

This is such a fantastic program!!! Thanks you so much for making my business more efficient and easier! .
