Software for drywall repair businesses
A plumbing access hole, a damaged corner and a ceiling stain lead to very different repair conversations. Keep the affected area, preparation, texture expectations and agreed return visits beside the client record, so a small patch does not become an unexplained series of trips.
Unleash your potential.
The everyday details
Ask what caused the opening and whether the underlying work is finished. A quote may cover backing, board and finishing while excluding investigation or a continuing leak. Make that boundary clear before the repair hides the area again.
An existing texture, sheen or paint color may be difficult to reproduce exactly. Record the finish you have agreed and whether painting is included. A photograph helps explain the starting surface but cannot guarantee the repaired area will disappear.
Setup, protection, filling and sanding are not interchangeable with time spent in the room. Keep the planned return appointments visible, especially when a tenant or property manager must arrange access for each visit.
How Microtra helps
Use the tools that fit your day, with your records ready on your phone or on the web.
Save client and linked property details, then attach photos and notes to the job. Describe the room and affected surface so a property manager can distinguish the ceiling repair from an earlier wall patch.
Explore this featureBuild an estimate for preparation, backing, patching, finishing and approved decoration. Enter the quantities you have measured yourself and state exclusions. Microtra keeps the document together; it does not assess concealed damage or specify a repair method.
Explore this featureArrange job appointments for the separate stages and assign staff as needed. Include realistic setup and cleanup time when choosing the appointment, then confirm access directly with the occupant or responsible client.
Explore this featureAdd expenses and receipt photos for patch materials, protective sheets and other purchases. Record labor manually or with the timer when useful. Reviewing these entries can reveal time that was easy to overlook in the original scope.
Explore this featureKeep approved additions in job notes and reflect them in the invoice. Share the PDF from your device, explain any decoration still outside the scope, and record payment received by your existing payment method.
Explore this featureA day in the life
Read the photos with the client, identify the wall or ceiling and confirm whether the source of damage has been addressed. Write down the limits of your repair before quoting.
Set the first appointment around the occupant's availability. Note furniture protection, parking and any requirement to coordinate with the plumber or another contractor before opening or closing the surface.
Review the work notes before sanding or matching texture. If the client adds another patch, price and agree it explicitly, keeping the revised work connected to the same property.
Check the invoice descriptions against the work performed. Share the document, record payment taken elsewhere and leave the client with a clear understanding of any painting or further investigation they still need to arrange.

Yes. An estimate can distinguish the repair, preparation and decoration even when the physical patch is small. Keeping access notes and return appointments connected helps explain why the visit involves more than fitting a piece of board.
No. Photos support your record of the starting condition, but Microtra does not diagnose moisture, identify a hidden leak or judge a surface safe to close. Arrange suitable inspection and resolve the cause through your professional process.
Choose Trades & construction for Job, Client and Properties. Each repair can stay linked to its site. Inventory is initially off; switch it on in Modules & terms if you want to use stock and purchasing features.
Automatic service reminders and server email delivery are coming soon. Agree the return visit directly and create its appointment yourself. You can share the invoice PDF through your device after reviewing the completed repair with the client.
