Painting takeoff
Painting takeoffs — AI measures, professionals verify
Turn plans or an Xactimate estimate into a painting material takeoff you can review and order. Every quantity traced to its source.
Paint takeoffs hinge on coats, coverage, and which surfaces are actually painted. TrueTakeoff measures wall, ceiling, trim, and door area and converts it into gallons at your spread rate.
Painting materials, ready to buy
TrueTakeoff converts the painting scope into an orderable material list — including the consumables that usually get missed: wall & ceiling paint (gal), primer (gal), trim & door paint (gal), caulk & tape, rollers & sundries, drop cloths.
Every line carries the source it was derived from, so an estimator can verify the math before a purchase order goes out.

Frequently asked
- Does it account for two coats and primer?
- Yes — gallons are computed per coat at your coverage rate, with primer separated from finish.
- Does it paint every surface automatically?
- It measures the paintable surfaces in scope; you confirm which surfaces and coats apply before the buyout.
- Does AI replace the estimator?
- No. AI measures and drafts the takeoff; a professional reviews and approves it. TrueTakeoff is an assistant, not a replacement.
