a North Carolina–based family-owned painting contractor boosts seasonal revenue 4–5x with Toptal

The customer, a North Carolina–based family-owned painting contractor that also offers holiday lighting, was struggling with a manual, paper-based process for managing customer proposals and design changes. This inefficient system made it difficult to track revisions and follow up with clients, limiting their capacity to only 100-120 seasonal projects. To overcome this challenge, they partnered with Toptal for custom software development services.

Toptal developed a mobile-friendly web application using React and Firebase, which allowed customers to visualize designs on photos of their homes and approve proposals online. This solution automated project management with centralized records and email reminders. As a result, the company increased its seasonal revenue by 4–5x and grew its customer base from 100 to over 350 per season.
