PAINTING PAYMENT REMINDERS

Touch-ups get booked. Invoices still get paid.

Customers text back about a missed spot or a color question. AI drafts a reply that books the touch-up and points them to the payment link, and you approve it from your phone.

WHY PAINTING INVOICES SIT

You paint all day. Invoices wait for the evening.

Most painting companies send reminders when the owner gets home. Some nights that never happens.

Reminders that wait for a free evening go out late or not at all. Exterior season makes it worse, because every dry day goes to painting. The longer an invoice sits, the harder the conversation gets.

Use our friendly, firm and final reminder templates and our past due invoice letters for wording that keeps good customers coming back.

“Did the Smiths pay for the cabinets yet?”

“Who is reminding the property manager about the unit repaint?”

“Did we ever send the second reminder?”

FAQ

Painting contractor invoice reminder questions

Still have a question?

Ask us on a demo, and bring one invoice that is still open.

What should a painting invoice reminder say?

Keep it short and friendly: the job, the balance owed and a link to pay by card or ACH. AR Workflow drafts each reminder for you and sends it by email, text and voicemail on the schedule you choose.

When should painting contractors send the first reminder?

Many painters send the invoice right after the walkthrough and a friendly reminder a few days later. In AR Workflow you set the timing once, and every invoice follows it without anyone remembering.

Can customers pay a painting invoice by text?

Yes. Every text can include a payment link for card or ACH, and texts come from a dedicated number. Payments post back to QuickBooks Online.

What if the customer asks for a touch-up first?

AI drafts a reply that books the touch-up and keeps the invoice moving. You approve it before it sends. If they promise to pay on a date, reminders pause until then.

Do we have to replace QuickBooks?

No. AR Workflow works with QuickBooks Online. Our QuickBooks for contractors guide covers setup.

How much does it cost?

Plans are $295, $395 and $495 a month. There is no free trial. Book a demo to see AI follow up on one of your painting invoices.

The last coat is dry. Let AI send the reminders.
