Painting Costs
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!
Prospective customers very often get several painters to
tender estimates. They shop around. A painter
would of course find it useful to
know the competitions bids, but should not
base his price on theirs because their
overheads are bound to be different from his.
Don't be afraid to tender a high price
if the job warrants it. If your
company has a good reputation customers will
take that into account.
It's a common problem that new painting
business managers often struggle with pricing the
painting jobs that they survey. Finding the
right price to tender is what makes
or breaks the companies business and determines
whether you win or lose jobs. Getting
your prices right is not always an easy
matter, better to go in to high than
low. Don't give a low estimate to win
the job.

Painting exterior windows at ground level is
much quicker and easier than working off a
ladder 2 or 3 floors higher. It takes
a lot of extra time to position your
ladder safely and keep going up and
down different materials, It may even be a
2 man job. You must charge at
least twice the rate for high ladder work.
