Exterior painting intake that captures surface condition and access up
Homeowners share property type, exterior size, and current surface condition, then upload photos of the areas needing paint so you know the scope and access before scheduling an estimate.
The exact intake your exterior house painting leads complete
This is the real 6-question guided intake for Exterior House Painting — the same flow your customers finish before you ever pick up the phone.
What a qualified exterior house painting lead should tell you
Full repainting of a home's exterior surfaces—siding, trim, and often doors or shutters—typically driven by weathering, fading, or a planned refresh, where the intake needs to capture property size, surface condition, and site access.
- Property Exterior Painting
- Approximate Size Exterior Area
- Current Condition Exterior Surface
- Property Owner Or Authorized
- Would Like Painting Project
- Exterior Surface Accessible Without
The questions your team needs answered
Every exterior house painting intake asks these — and why each one matters.
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| What type of property needs exterior painting? | Property type lets you separate straightforward single-family jobs from commercial or multi-family buildings that may need different crews, permits, or pricing. |
| What is the approximate size of the exterior area to be painted? | Larger properties carry higher weight because they represent bigger jobs, while a 'not sure' answer still scores moderately so uncertain-scope leads aren't discarded. |
| What is the current condition of the exterior surface? | A surface in poor condition with bare wood or peeling needs prep work that changes labor time and materials, so this answer shapes how the job should be quoted, not just whether it's wanted. |
| Are you the property owner or an authorized representative able to approve this project? | Confirming the requester can actually approve the project prevents quoting a job that stalls later because the real decision-maker was never in the loop. |
| When would you like the painting project to start? | An 'as soon as possible' timeline scores highest because it signals a homeowner ready to book, while 'just exploring' should be handled with lower urgency. |
| Is the exterior surface accessible without needing special equipment like tall scaffolding? | Knowing whether the surface needs scaffolding lets you staff and price the job correctly before your crew arrives on site. |

Built for exterior house painting workflows
| Cliont capability | Exterior House Painting application |
|---|---|
| Weighted scoring | Exterior size, ownership confirmation, and project timeline combine into a single score so a large, owner-approved, ASAP job automatically outranks a small exploratory inquiry. |
| Photo capture | Requiring photos of the exterior surface before scheduling lets you cross-check the homeowner's self-reported condition (good, fair, poor) against what the walls actually look like. |
| Access flagging | The scaffolding/access answer is stored on the lead record so your crew can plan equipment needs before the estimate visit instead of discovering a height problem on site. |
| Authorization check | A 'no' answer on property ownership can be routed to a manual follow-up step, preventing you from quoting a job the requester isn't actually able to approve. |
Common exterior house painting lead scenarios
Large home, ready to start
Owner-occupied, multi-story home marked as large with an ASAP start date and confirmed ownership approval — the intake scores this as a priority lead for immediate estimate scheduling.
Unsure of size or condition
A homeowner selects 'Not sure' for exterior size and surface condition, signaling they need a walkthrough rather than a phone quote — the intake still routes it but flags extra scoping is needed.
Requester isn't the owner
Someone answers 'no' to being the property owner or authorized representative, which carries a lower approval weight and should trigger a follow-up to confirm decision-making authority before an estimate is booked.
Height requires scaffolding
The exterior surface is marked as not accessible without special equipment, so the crew and quote need to account for scaffolding or lift rental before the job is scheduled.
Just exploring, small job
A single wall or small structure paired with a 'just exploring options' timeline scores lower on urgency and size, letting the business deprioritize it relative to larger, time-sensitive jobs.

Exterior House Painting lead-intake FAQs
Does the intake tell me if a job will need scaffolding before I quote it?
Yes. The intake asks whether the exterior surface is accessible without special equipment like tall scaffolding, so you can see access requirements before committing to a site visit.
Can the intake flag leads where the person filling it out isn't the homeowner?
Yes. The catalog includes a yes/no question confirming the person is the property owner or an authorized representative, and a 'no' answer carries a lower weight so you can follow up before booking an estimate.
What happens if a homeowner doesn't know the size or condition of their exterior?
Both the size and surface condition questions include a 'Not sure' option, so the lead still comes through — it's just marked as needing an in-person assessment rather than a fully scoped quote.
How does the intake separate urgent jobs from people still researching?
The start-timeline question ranges from 'as soon as possible' to 'just exploring options,' with weighting that pushes ready-to-start projects higher in your queue.
What photos do homeowners need to upload before an estimate?
Homeowners are prompted to upload photos of the exterior areas needing paint, including any visibly damaged or bare-wood sections, so you can review scope before you drive out.
Can I use this same intake for interior painting or is it exterior-only?
This intake is built specifically for exterior house painting; interior jobs run through the separate Interior House Painting intake with its own questions.
