Question 1

How quickly does Mikla respond to a painting inquiry?

Accepted Answer

In under a minute, at any time. Mikla picks up the phone, your Google listing, website forms, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, SMS, Yelp, and email. Homeowners send the same request to several painters in one evening. The one who answers that evening books the walk-through.

Question 2

Does Mikla know the difference between an interior and an exterior job?

Accepted Answer

It separates them on the first message. Interior means rooms, ceilings, trim, and whether the house is occupied. Exterior means siding material, storeys, current condition, and how far out your weather window is. Your estimator gets the right brief either way.

Question 3

Can it collect square footage and the number of coats?

Accepted Answer

It asks how many rooms or which elevations, and the ceiling height. It asks whether the customer is going lighter or darker. It asks whether they expect one coat or two over the existing colour. A dark wall going to white is a two-coat job and your quote should say so.

Question 4

How does Mikla talk about prep work?

Accepted Answer

Honestly, which saves arguments later. It asks about peeling, chalking, failed caulk, drywall repair, and wallpaper that has to come off. It tells the customer that preparation is most of the labour. Nobody is surprised when your estimator prices sanding and patching as line items.

Question 5

Do you handle colour consultations?

Accepted Answer

Mikla asks whether the customer has colours picked, has a designer, or wants help choosing. It books your colour consultation alongside the measure if that is how you sell. It records the brand and sheen they prefer, so your crew is not guessing between eggshell and satin.

Question 6

Our exterior season is short. Can Mikla protect the calendar?

Accepted Answer

It books exterior work inside the window you set. It puts interior jobs in the months when the outside cannot be touched. When rain moves a crew, Mikla contacts the affected customers and offers new windows. Your office does not make twelve calls.

Question 7

What about homeowners association colour approval?

Accepted Answer

It asks whether the property sits inside an association and whether the exterior colour needs board approval. It notes that with the appointment, so your estimator does not quote a scheme that gets rejected. Mikla does not submit the application or promise it will pass.

Question 8

Will it work with the estimating software we already use?

Accepted Answer

Mikla passes each qualified lead across with the transcript and the room photos the customer sent. It books into the calendar your estimators already carry. Show us the software you estimate in and the demo will cover exactly where Mikla fits.
