Why painters pick Ovaro

The jobs are done. The paperwork doesn't have to be.

Quote by the room

Speak it: 'living room two coats matt, hallway three coats, woodwork eggshell' — Ovaro itemises and prices it.

Invoice when brushes are washed

Job finished at 4pm? Send the invoice at 4:05pm with a Stripe link. Customer pays before tea.

Materials cost recovery

Add paint, sundries and dust sheets as line items so customers see exactly what they're paying for.

What's included

Everything a self-employed painter needs.

FAQ

Questions from painters.

Is Ovaro suitable for a one-man-band decorator?

Yes — built for sole-trader decorators. No team seats, no setup project.

Can I quote in advance and convert to an invoice?

Yes — every estimate becomes an invoice with one tap when the job's done.

How do I track paint and material expenses?

Snap a receipt at the merchants and Ovaro categorises it ready for your tax return.
