Painting Contractor Job Costing Software
Job costing gives painting contractors the visibility they need to manage labor, materials, and overhead in real time. With accurate cost tracking, you can price jobs confidently, avoid budget surprises, and ensure every project contributes to your bottom line.
Dapt’s Job Costing and Certified Payroll Platform connects your payroll, accounting, and project management systems — providing the data-driven control you need to stay profitable on every job.
The Challenge
Painting contractors manage a variety of job types, each with its own labor mix, materials, and risk exposure. Without connected systems, it’s easy for costs to slip through the cracks. Manual data entry, delayed reporting, and inconsistent tracking make it difficult to measure true job performance or allocate workers’ comp expenses correctly.
How Dapt Helps
Dapt unites your payroll, accounting, and project management systems to give painting contractors full visibility into job performance, labor costs, and compliance.
Track Costs Accurately
Automatically sync payroll, accounting, and project data so every dollar — labor, materials, and overhead — is assigned to the correct job, phase, or cost code.
Gain Real-Time Visibility
Monitor labor hours, materials, and cost information while projects are in progress. Make adjustments early to keep profitability intact.
Eliminate Errors
Remove duplicate data entry and reduce mistakes in payroll, billing, and job reporting with automated data synchronization.
Improve Decision-Making
Identify cost overruns before they become issues. Adjust crew assignments or resource use to stay on target.
Strengthen Cash Flow
Faster, more accurate invoicing ensures steady cash flow and keeps revenue coming in on time.
Ensure Compliance

Simplify Workers’ Compensation Tracking
