Paint and material costs vary by job
Premium exterior vs. budget interior vs. epoxy floor — paint costs can triple. Tracking actual material cost per job keeps your bids accurate.
Crew labor is your biggest variable
Prep time varies wildly — new construction vs. occupied remodel vs. commercial. Tracking actual hours per job is critical to accurate P&L.
Supplies get lost in the mix
Tape, drop cloths, rollers, brushes, sandpaper — dozens of small supply purchases per job. Without tracking, they're deductions you lose.
