Example threads. Connect only reads a thread when you open it and press Prepare Request.
One thread, not your inbox
Connect reads the conversation you open. Nothing else in your mailbox is touched.
You choose what happens
Assessment, quote or walkthrough, plus who meets us on site, picked from the people already in the thread.
Honest about scope
If a thread asks for something we don’t do, like electrical, Connect flags it and leaves it out of the request.
Nothing sends on its own
You see the exact request before it goes. One press of Approve & Send, and Art Vision has it.
YOUR MAINTENANCE PROJECTS
Every project, always in view.
Each request you send becomes a project you can follow: a pipeline from request to finished walkthrough, and a project page with the roadmap, updates and documents for you and council.

A pipeline, not an inbox
Request, assessment, quote, approval, scheduled, in progress, done. See where every building stands at a glance.
One page per project
Roadmap, crew, on-site contact and documents in one place, ready to share with council.
Updates without chasing
Short progress notes after each milestone, and site notices owners can actually read.
WE HANDLE IT
You manage buildings.
We handle the painting.
Council’s questions, resident notices, keys and access, colour samples, weather, walkthroughs, invoices and the warranty. Every step shows in Connect. You make three decisions: the scope, the colours, the sign-off.
Notices written for you
Lobby, elevators and email. You approve, we post.
Access arranged
With your caretaker or front desk, not through you.
Scope in MPI terms
Prep, coating system and coats, in writing before we start.
Walkthroughs closed out
Start, mid-project and final, with a list we close.
BUILT FOR TRUST
Your inbox stays yours.
Only the thread you open
Connect reads one conversation, when you press Prepare Request. The rest of your mailbox is never touched.
No Google permissions
No Gmail API and no account access. It works with the page you already have open.
Your approval, every time
Each send is approved by you, checked once more on our side, and goes only to Art Vision.
CONNECT VS. THE USUAL WAY
Built for how maintenance work actually starts.
Most painting projects run on forwarded emails and a spreadsheet nobody updates. Here’s the difference.

A FEW THINGS TO KNOW
Good questions.
Clear answers.
What is Art Vision Connect?
A Chrome extension that sits beside Gmail. It turns one email thread into a clear maintenance request for Art Vision Painting & Restoration, sent only with your approval.
Is it free?
Yes. Connect is free for Metro Vancouver property managers. Painting work is quoted in writing before anything starts.
Does it read my whole inbox?
No. Only the thread you open, and only when you press Prepare Request.
Does it send emails on its own?
No. Nothing is sent until you click Approve & Send.
What happens after I send?
Our team replies to you directly and books what you chose: a free assessment, a written quote or a site walkthrough, with the on-site contact you picked.
What if part of the request isn’t painting?
Connect flags trades we don’t offer, such as electrical or roofing, and leaves them out of the request. Requests that aren’t about painting at all aren’t turned into painting leads.
Which email works?
Gmail in Chrome today. Outlook is next; tell us if your team uses it.
What does Art Vision see?
Only the request you approve.
