Cost of painter interior

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.

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.
You can make a good living being a
painting contractor. I have found over the
years painting can be very rewarding, not
that the trade does not suffer from any
drawbacks, you are bound to come across
difficult jobs and people. It's how you
handle them that matters. As soon as you
set yourself up in business, plan to do
everything by the book and strictly legal.
Keep on top of taxes, liability insurances,
employee's wages and so on. Treat your
business professionally.

There is no easy short-cut that you
can do in minutes what an experienced
decorating estimator will often take hours to
put together. Experienced judgment is required when
estimating complex paint jobs. It's your responsibility
alone to decide what makes this job that
you are estimating similar or different to
other jobs. When all the conditions may not be
the same. This is were you use your
experience and judgment to arrive at a
realistic proposal. Even then there is a
good chance your efforts will be unsuccessful,
but you win some you lose some!

Cost of painter interior

simple exercise to find out how much
it will cost to hire a professional
decorator is.. Wait till you see a
painter working on a property down your
street. Ask him if he does private
work!! I know painters and this will
be music to his ears. Tell him what
you want done, and where you live. The
beauty about this way to hire a
great painter is it won't cost a
penny in advertising or phone calls and it cuts
out that expensive middle man.

If you estimate work in a desperate attempt to
get it at a much lower price than
your competitors you will still have to do
a good job or be known has a bodger
or tosher. Word will spread that you work
for peanuts and will do for any future
jobs, you will have set your own cheap
rates condemning yourself to be forever working but,
always poor. Did you up your estimate price or did
you just forget about the price increases
and absorb the loss? If your business
doesn't stay current with the latest price
increases when doing their estimates, you are
bound to lose cash. Pass on price
increases now don't wait till the end of
the year. Why pay throughout the year
for your customers jobs.
