Add & Edit Line Items

Add and customize line items on estimates including pricing options, materials, hours, photos, and notes for detailed project scopes.

A line item in PaintScout is a fixed-price entry for work that does not use dimension-based production rates, such as furniture moving, power washing, or specialty finishes.

How do you add a line item to an estimate?

1. Click on the Add Area or Line Item button.

2. Choose Line Item.

3. You can choose between the list of pre-made line items from your settings, or create a custom line Item.

What can you customize on a line item?

• Name and description for the customer-facing estimate.
• Pricing via hourly rate, quantity, or custom options — or no price at all.
• Materials, hours, photos, and notes for detailed scoping.
• Visibility — hide informational-only items from the work order to keep it tidy.
