Questions

What does it cost?

Red Brush uses per-lead pricing: you pay a flat fee for each qualifying lead delivered to you. There are no sign-up fees, monthly fees or cancellation fees — and your first referral is free.

Do I need a credit card to apply?

No. You can apply, get approved and receive your first (free) referral without a payment method on file.

How many painters get the same lead?

No more than four. When fewer vetted painters cover a service and city, fewer receive it.

How long does approval take?

Usually 2–3 business days after you submit a complete application. We'll email you when there's a decision — you can also check your status in the portal anytime.

Which areas do you serve?

The greater Sacramento region — Sacramento, Placer, El Dorado and Yolo counties, including Roseville, Folsom, Elk Grove, Rocklin, Davis and more. You choose your own cities when you apply.
