Our Story

Why We Built Pro PaintOps

We did not start as a software company looking for a market. We started in the trade, looking for a solution that actually understood the work we do.

Over the last 20 plus years, I have worked in virtually every corner of the painting industry.

I started on the supply and distribution side, ran smaller residential projects, and managed large scale commercial jobs.

Across all those years, one thing remained constant: most software out there just isn't built for the real work painting contractors do.

The Enterprise Trap

Most options on the market target massive enterprise firms and general contractors, resulting in bloated, expensive systems that are overly complicated for small to midsize teams.

Building a better way for the trade.

That is why I founded Construction Workflow Solutions, a company dedicated to building custom workflows for trade businesses facing these exact operational bottlenecks.

To bring those same streamlined solutions directly to the painting trade, we developed Pro PaintOps as our flagship product.

Simple. Intuitive. Laser focused.

We built Pro PaintOps to be simple, intuitive, and laser focused on what growing painting contractors actually need. Our goal is to save you time, remove the tech headaches, and give you a reliable system that lets you focus on growing your business.
