Everything painting contractors ask before getting started with Assemble Pro.
Is Assemble built for painting contractors?
Yes, Assemble is built for painting contractors. It includes wall and ceiling area takeoff tools, coverage rate calculators, prep work assemblies, and multi-coat pricing, so you can measure surface areas off your plans and turn them into a priced painting estimate in minutes.
How does Assemble handle paint coverage rates and multiple coats?
Assemble applies your coverage rates (square feet per gallon) and coat counts automatically. Set the coverage rate for each product (primer, flat, eggshell, semi-gloss) and the number of coats, and Assemble calculates gallons and labor from your measured square footage. Change a wall from two coats to three and the price updates instantly.
Can Assemble include prep work like patching, sanding, and masking in my painting estimates?
Yes. You can build reusable prep work assemblies in Assemble (patching, sanding, caulking, masking, pressure washing, drop cloths) with your own labor rates and material costs. Attach them to your takeoff so prep is priced into every estimate instead of coming out of your profit.
How much does Assemble cost for painting contractors?
Assemble costs $70/month or $700/year (two months free on annual). That includes 1 user, full access to Takeoff, Assemblies, and Estimates, unlimited projects, and free human support. There are no tiers, no feature paywalls, no lock-in contracts, and you can cancel anytime. The 14-day free trial requires no credit card.
Do I need to be tech-savvy to use Assemble?
No. If you can use a smartphone, you can use Assemble. Most painting contractors complete their first wall and ceiling takeoff within 15 minutes of signing up. It was designed for contractors who spend their days on the tools, not at a desk.
Can I use my own painting labor rates and paint prices in Assemble?
Yes. Assemble uses your rates, not generic industry averages. Load your labor rates, paint prices per gallon, and coverage rates into your own library once, and every future painting estimate prices from your real numbers. Update a price and it flows through to new estimates automatically.
Does Assemble work on a tablet or phone at the jobsite?
Yes. Assemble is fully cloud-based and works on any device: Mac, PC, tablet, or phone. Start a takeoff in the office, verify measurements during a walkthrough, and send the painting estimate from your truck. Everything stays in sync.
