QuoteGuard — Estimate Review Built for Painting Contractors

QuoteGuard is CoatMetric’s built-in estimate review system. It helps painting contractors identify potential missing scope, pricing gaps, margin risks, and other issues that deserve another look before sending a proposal.

What is QuoteGuard?

QuoteGuard is CoatMetric’s proprietary estimate-review system. It reviews the information already entered in your estimate and flags items worth a second look. It is advisory: you remain in control of your final pricing and scope, and QuoteGuard does not guarantee estimate accuracy or profit.

What QuoteGuard Reviews

Missing scope

Items in the estimate that may have been overlooked, such as doors in scope without labour.

Pricing concerns

Pricing that may deserve another look before it reaches the customer.

Margin risks

Estimates where gross margin falls below the target you configured.

Prep work

Preparation such as wall repairs without a related primer allowance.

Labour and material assumptions

Surfaces or items that appear to be missing associated labour or materials.

Estimate completeness

An Estimate Readiness score showing how many potential issues were found for review.

Why QuoteGuard Matters

A small item missed during estimating can become expensive once the job begins. QuoteGuard gives contractors an additional review step before the customer receives the proposal — it doesn’t replace your judgement or eliminate every mistake.
