Most estimate visits should never happen.
You drive out, measure, and quote — only to find out their budget was never close. If you close 30% of estimates, 7 out of every 10 visits go nowhere.
At $75 to $250 per wasted visit in drive time, on-site hours, and follow-up, that's anywhere from $1,050 to $4,000 gone every month.
Drive time for unqualified leads
Price shock after you measure
Ghosted after sending your quote
Estimator hours lost on jobs that were never viable
From painting contractor Facebook groups
We asked: "What's your close rate on inbound estimate requests — and how often do you drive out only to find the homeowner's budget isn't close to what the job actually costs?"
Is this a fit?
This is for you if:
You run Google Ads, LSAs, or paid lead campaigns
You get 15 or more inbound estimate requests per month
You're losing time to tire kickers and price shoppers
You avoid asking leads about budget because you're worried it'll scare them off
This is not for you if:
You rely only on referrals
You rarely do on-site estimates
You prefer quoting without showing any range upfront
You already pre-screen every lead with a phone call before scheduling a visit
Qualify before you visit.
Homeowner submits scope
Structured scope questions — rooms, prep level, access, add-ons, and timeline — plus photos or a room scan.
What the homeowner fills out
What type of project is this?
How would you describe the current condition of the surfaces?
Prep work typically accounts for 30–40% of painting cost.
Upload photos of the area
Interior and exterior — 2 photos minimum
Simplified example — actual intake includes more questions.
They see a realistic range
BidPilot's AI analyzes the scan and photos, then cross-references what it sees against the homeowner's form answers. If anything doesn't match — prep level, surface condition, room count — the homeowner is asked to verify before the range is shown. The final range is based on both the visual analysis and their verified answers, priced against your own rates.

FAQ
The ones it scares off were never going to close. If a homeowner sees a range of $4,000–$5,000 and disappears, you just saved yourself a two-hour visit. The leads that move forward already know what it costs — those are the ones worth driving to.
No. Angi sells you shared leads from strangers. BidPilot doesn't generate or sell leads. It qualifies the inbound leads you're already getting — before you drive out. We don't touch your lead sources.
BidPilot's AI scans the homeowner's photos and compares what it sees against their form answers. If something doesn't match — they said light prep but the scan shows surface damage, or the room count doesn't add up — the homeowner is asked to verify before the range is calculated. Most scope discrepancies are caught before you're ever involved.
The range is calculated from two sources: the AI's analysis of the homeowner's scan and photos, and their verified form answers. Your own job examples set the rate baseline — not industry averages. The scan catches scope details the form might miss, so what reaches you is as close to reality as possible before you visit.

Arshawn
Founder, BidPilot
I'm 18. I'm finishing high school in Santa Clarita and starting computer engineering at UC Santa Cruz this fall.
My co-founder and I built a digital marketing agency, and through that, a subcontracting painting company. I watched the same thing happen over and over: a contractor spends real money on ads, drives out to an estimate, and loses the job because the homeowner had no idea what painting actually costs. Not the contractor's fault. Just a bad filter.
I went looking for something that fixed it. Nothing existed.
So I posted in painting contractor Facebook groups asking about close rates. One contractor with a 96% close rate put it plainly:
"I'd rather spend 5 minutes on the phone with each person figuring out if they're my type of customer — than drive 20 minutes to find out they're not."(paraphrased)
Every high-performing contractor I talked to was already doing some version of this manually. BidPilot just automates it.
It's not live yet. I'm validating the idea with 25 contractors before I build the full product. Founding members get direct input on what gets built and first access to the beta when it's ready.
