Cost House Painting Every year there is a mad rush to get decorating work finished for the Christmas holidays. November brings a mad rush and painters are usually very busy, and they should take full advantage of this because after Christmas we enter the dreaded KIPPER SEASON, meaning everybody seems to go to sleep and work can be very thin on the ground.
If a painter is cheaper than others who survey their home, it will mean nothing if he turns up smelling of booze, because the client will associate this with being unprofessional and sloppy, not matter how good a painter they may be. They would far sooner choose a more expensive painter that presents themselves in a clean business like manner.
Painters when asked to give a price for painting, will estimate how long from experience the work will take to complete. Say they envisage a room will take three days, they multiply this by their day work charge, plus materials Then they may add One day for cleaning and clearing everything off the job. The total might typically be 4 days x 120 pounds = 480 pounds, without materials.Cost House Painting
