Phone Script Templates for Painters (2026)
When you are twenty feet up on a ladder or masking off a kitchen, you cannot always answer the phone. Every missed call is a potential five-thousand-dollar cabinet job going to your competitor down the street. These scripts help you capture leads quickly, handle price shoppers, and keep your schedule full without dropping your paintbrush.
New Exterior Inquiry
Use this when a homeowner calls about painting their house siding or trim during the busy season.
Thanks for calling! I would love to help you with that exterior project. To give you an accurate estimate, I need to know the approximate square footage and if you have wood, stucco, or vinyl siding. Are you looking to just change the color, or is there some peeling paint and wood rot that needs repair first? I have an opening this Thursday at 10 AM to walk the property and get you a firm quote. Does that work for you?
Tips for this scenario
- -Always ask about the siding type to know if you need special primers.
- -Mention wood rot early so they know you handle more than just aesthetics.
- -Book the walkthrough immediately before they call the next painter.
