Simple pricing. Pay when they show.
Painters always join free. Companies pay per painter, or save with a monthly plan. You pay the painter directly at your agreed rate.
What a gap really costs
One painter short costs more than you think.
An idle crew
The rest of your team waits on the part nobody can cover, and you still pay them.
Jobs that slip
One late day pushes back the next job, and the next invoice.
Builders who remember
A late handover can cost you the next tender, not just this one.
A Gapfill painter is $230. A lost day usually costs far more.
Fill the gapThe first 30 companies to join lock in Crew at $349/month for 12 months, before prices go up.
