Cost for Painting a Room
You can learn about painting estimating . I
first got started when I got books out of
the local library and I soon discovered
why I was not making enough money. I
was doing painting jobs for less than
i was getting for them! It was a wake-up call.
If you don't mind working for nothing, when
a client shows you the job take little notice
of what needs doing without putting pen to
paper, as though you have a video camera for
a brain and you will remember every small detail.
After making small talk you feel the client wants
you to give a verbal estimate. You might have
no work at the time so you offer
a low price to get the work which the
client accepts and you get the job.
Later you wished you had charged much more!!
When making your estimate for exterior work take a
sharp object with you such as a screw driver
and dig it in around the window sills and
door frames to see if there is any
rotten timber that need major filling or
even replacing. If you miss fail to add
this work to your estimate you may
end up doing the repairs for nothing!!
Cost for Painting a Room
How do you arrive at the best price
for a particular paint job? Do you charge
the so called going rate. Who sets this
fictional going rate? Is it a trade
journal, a painter or maybe a rival
painting contractor. The answer is none of
the above. It is you or someone who
has access to you business accounts showing
your overheads that dictate how much you
must charge per hour to make a profit.
