More than square metres
Preparation, repairs, protection, access, coatings and finishing all affect the real price of painting and decorating work.
Why DecorMatePro
One trade. Built properly.
DecorMatePro is being built around painting and decorating rather than adapting generic trade software and asking decorators to fit around it.
The product is still in development. This page explains the principles guiding what is being built.
The promise
Built by a painter and decorator, for painters and decorators.
Technology should make the job easier without getting in the way of the trade.
What makes the approach different
The app should understand the job behind the quote.
Professional judgement stays in control
DecorMatePro should suggest and calculate, but the painter and decorator checks, edits and approves the final scope and price.
Made for the job site
The intended experience is phone-first, straightforward and usable while moving around a home, commercial property or larger site.
Real working conditions matter
Poor mobile signal is normal on some jobs. Weak-signal and offline working are part of the development direction rather than an afterthought.
Help avoid missed work
The app is intended to prompt users to consider preparation and repair tasks that are easy to forget but cost real time and money.
Useful from sole trader to company
The same core workflow should scale from one decorator pricing a bedroom to a foreman or estimator surveying larger commercial work.
Why it exists
Trade experience first. Technology used where it genuinely helps.
DecorMatePro was founded from painting and decorating experience, with a later professional background in technology behind the idea. Painting and decorating also has strong family links behind the company, and the aim is to use both worlds to build something genuinely useful for the trade.
