MORE SQUARE FEET ISN'T THE GOAL
YOU DON'T NEED MORE PAINTING WORK.
YOU NEED BETTER-PAYING WORK.
A bigger backlog doesn't help if the jobs were priced too thin before they ever hit the schedule.
Commercial painters are already juggling crews, production, prep, materials, access, deadlines and customer expectations. The answer isn't automatically more work.
The better question is: what does this job need to sell for so the hours you're already putting in are actually worth it?
Before you submit the number, know:
How many labor hours does this scope really require?
What production rate is driving those hours?
How much prep and coating work is included?
What will the materials actually cost?
What overhead must this job recover?
What profit remains at the price you're quoting?
FROM TAKEOFF TO PRICE IN ONE WORKFLOW
Powerful Commercial Painting Estimating.
Without Making It Hard To Use.
These are actual MPC PRO Commercial Painting screens. Build the scope, adjust the real conditions and let the engine carry the math through to the final quote.
1. Build the actual painting scope
Use Quick Build for rooms and units or detailed takeoff quantities. Walls, ceilings, trim and doors all feed the pricing engine.
→MPC calculates
2. Quote with the economics visible
See recommended price, Low / MPC / High range, estimated profit, actual margin, walk-away price, labor hours and price per square foot.
A COMMERCIAL PAINTING ESTIMATE IS MORE THAN AREA × RATE
THE SQUARE FOOTAGE
DOESN'T TELL THE WHOLE STORY.
Two projects can show similar paintable area and require completely different labor.
Ceilings change production. Trim changes production. Doors change production. Prep changes production. Extra coats change production.
MPC PRO is designed to connect those workload drivers to labor hours, materials and the final selling price instead of hiding everything inside one generic square-foot number.
A simple estimate can hide a complicated job.
MPC helps expose the difference.
MPC helps expose the difference.
QUICK WHEN YOU NEED IT. DETAILED WHEN IT MATTERS.
START FAST.
GO DEEP WHEN THE JOB REQUIRES IT.
Not every estimate needs a full takeoff process. And not every project should be priced from a rough room count.
MPC PRO gives you both: a Quick Build workflow for speed and detailed quantities when the scope demands more precision.
One pricing engine. Two ways to get the job into it.
THE WORKLOAD DRIVES THE PRICE
Walls + ceilings + trim + doors + prep + coats
Build the estimate around what your crew actually has to paint — not just the size of the building.

confidence before you submit the bid
YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAINT MORE TO EARN MORE
BETTER ESTIMATING CAN MAKE
THE SAME CREW MORE PROFITABLE.
Commercial painting can consume enormous amounts of labor. A small estimating mistake repeated across hundreds of hours becomes a very expensive mistake.
MPC PRO helps you see the labor, cost and profit picture before the project is sold — when you can still do something about it.
The goal isn't to pack more jobs onto the calendar. It's to make the jobs you accept worth doing.
PREP, COATS AND MATERIALS MATTER
PRICE WHAT THE PROJECT
ACTUALLY REQUIRES.
A repaint-ready wall and a rough surface that needs substantial prep should not quietly produce the same estimate.
MPC PRO lets you account for surface condition, prep hours, primer coats, finish coats, coverage, waste, sundries and job-specific costs — while keeping those assumptions visible and editable.
That means the estimate can reflect the work instead of forcing the work to fit a generic number.
A COMMERCIAL PAINTING ENGINE BUILT AROUND REAL WORK
More Than A Calculator.

MPC PRO brings the major pieces of a painting estimate together so the selling price has a reason behind it.

Walk-away pricing guardrail
KNOW THE NUMBER BEFORE THE NEGOTIATION STARTS
Know Your
Walk-Away Price.
Commercial bids get negotiated. That's normal. What shouldn't be normal is cutting the number without knowing what you're giving away.
MPC PRO shows the price where the project stops meeting your minimum acceptable profit, so you can see whether there is actually room to move.
Negotiate when the numbers allow it. Hold your price when they don't.
YOUR WALK-AWAY PRICE
$925
In the example estimate, going below this number means the job no longer meets the contractor's minimum profit setting.
A FULL SCHEDULE CAN STILL BE A PRICING PROBLEM
THE BEST PROJECT MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE
CAN'T FIX A BAD BID.
Scheduling software can organize crews. CRM software can track customers. Project management software can track progress. Invoicing software can collect the money.
But none of them can put profit back into a commercial painting project that was underpriced before it was awarded.
That's where MPC PRO starts.
POWERFUL AND CONTINUALLY IMPROVING
AN ESTIMATING ENGINE
THAT DOESN'T STAND STILL.
MPC PRO is continually reviewed, refined and improved around the way contractors price real work — while keeping the assumptions visible and editable.
Coverage, coats, waste and pricing help connect paint quantity to the estimate rather than treating materials as an afterthought.
See estimated profit and actual margin before the customer ever receives your number.
Recommended price, pricing range and walk-away protection give you context before you negotiate.
WORK SMARTER — NOT LONGER
YOU'RE ALREADY DOING THE HARD PART.
MAKE SURE THE BID IS WORTH IT.
Your crews don't need another reason to stay late. You don't need another weekend buried in estimates.
MPC PRO is built to help you get to a defensible number faster, understand what is behind it and make better decisions about the projects you choose to take.
Try it where it matters:
on your next few painting estimates.
on your next few painting estimates.
Build several real Commercial Painting jobs in MPC PRO and compare the result to what you would normally bid.
Look at the labor hours, material assumptions, estimated profit, margin and walk-away number.
If it helps you price with more confidence, keep it.
If it doesn't, cancel it.
