There is no ready made price that fits
every job why!! Because in all my
years of pricing work I have never
come across two jobs that one estimate
would be the same for. The main
reason for this is the size, shape,
condition, location, labor and materials cost for
different rooms and buildings. Painting estimates should be
be customized for each job.

Pricing painting work does involve a mixture
of intuition and experience which can only
be acquired by actually doing painting work for
a few years. A painter instinctively knows
how long it takes to do certain
stages of painting, and will base his
estimate on this. Some painters can just
quickly look at a job and will
instantly give a quote. I advise against
this, think the work over for a
while, make sure nothing has been overlooked,
then submit your written estimate.

Your best paint estimate should be a one
of a kind for that particular job.
It must take into account your companies present
productivity, price of materials, labor, profits and
overheads. There is no book or software
that can take into account all the
wildly different conditions found in paint estimating
work. Use you judgment which will increase
over time.

You can learn about estimating painting and
decorating contracts from: mp3s, listening to cds,
or watching videos in your spare time.
These options are free or very low cost.
You might want to try a more
hands-on method personal coaching. You will
be able to ask questions about your
individual business the coach will steer you in
the right direction and help with any
changes that have to be made.

Business after Christmas is always slow. No one
it seem wants any work done till the
Spring time. So what is the answer?
Do you take advantage of this lull to
learn the skills of a paint estimator or
fall back on the only sales tactic
you know, they drop their prices!! This to
them is a master stroke. What happens
next is their competitors do the same to
try and secure the same contract at
a much lower loss making price.

There are many ways to learn the
process of calculating the correct estimate for
a certain contract as far as your
particular business is concerned. You could read
books. Pay for personal coaching. You could
jump right in and Learn from trial
and error. A combination of all three
if the budding contractor is willing to learn.

Giving an estimate for work sometimes can
be tricky and not always 100% accurate.
Do not be frightened to quote a bit
higher to give yourself a bit of a
safety cushion if some unexpected cost crops
up. If you estimate the work, add
on your anticipated profit, then add another 10%
that should cover things.
