Let the house do the talking
LIKE THIS PAINT JOB? points at the proof. The big words are short on purpose: six letters or fewer, so they can be set big: over two inches tall on an 18-inch sign.
For painters
Painting yard signs that answer the neighbors
A fresh coat of paint is the best ad on the street — every neighbor who walks by can see the work. An InsideJob sign turns that look into a conversation: they scan, Val answers for your crew, and your phone buzzes the second it happens.
Your name, services and color go on yours — drawn by the same engine that makes the print file.
What goes on a painting sign
- The question
- “LIKE THIS PAINT JOB?” The big words are six letters or fewer, so they stand tall enough to read from the street.
- Under it
- “We’re inside painting!” — what your crew is doing right now.
- Three reasons to scan
- Ask questions · See colors · Get a quote
- Your name and services
- Interior · Exterior · Cabinets — up to four services, under your name.
- Licensed & insured
- On its own row, when you are.
- The code
- “Scan to ask us anything,” with your page's web address under it for anyone who'd rather type.
- No phone number
- Every contact comes through the scan, so every one is counted — and Val answers when you can't.
Three looks, ten colors or your own. A professional sign shop prints yours and ships it — you never print a thing. Rather have the house line? Every sign can ask IT WAS AN INSIDE JOB. instead.
What a neighbor sees when they scan
No app and no form. The code opens a page about the job in front of them, headed with a line like “We’re repainting the outside of this house this week.” — then your photos, your services, your crew, any special you're running, and a button to ask.
Your phone buzzes the moment they scan, and again when they say something real. Tap to take over the chat, or tap I'll be right out and they're told you're walking over.
The page names the street or the neighborhood — never the homeowner, the house number or what the job cost.
What neighbors ask painters
And what Val, your AI assistant, does with it. Val never quotes a price, never promises a date and never names the homeowner.
- “What color is that?”
- Val answers from the job page. Put the colors and the finish there and the neighbor gets them on the spot; if they're not there, Val takes their number so you can tell them yourself.
- “What would it cost to paint my house?”
- Val never quotes a price. It gets their name, their number and what they want painted, and hands it to you.
- “Do you do inside work too?”
- Val answers from the services you list — interior, exterior, cabinets, whatever your crew does.
Painting yard sign ideas
Put it up when the ladders go up
Neighbors notice a crew while it's working. The sign belongs in the yard during the job, with the homeowner's OK — not after everyone has gone home.
Answer the color question on the page
Colors, finish and photos go on the job page, where there's room. The sign has one job: get the scan.
Run a street special
Post an offer for the neighbors on the job page and change it from your phone. Nothing gets reprinted.
What it costs
$249 to start — that includes your first sign or magnet. Then $49/month for your first sign or magnet, $29/month for each one after, or $480/year for the first, $290/year for each one after. Each extra one is $99 to print. Estimates and invoices are included. The first month is paid at signup and starts the day it goes live. One job from your sign will most likely cover your costs for the year. The rest is profit.
