Calculate house painting cost
When the painting contractor arrives to tender
his estimate follow these guidelines. Explain clearly
how you want the decorating done,leaving
nothing out. Your choice of colors and materials,
does he supply them or you. Which option
is the cheapest? Tell the painter you require
a price for the whole job, no
day-work basis. Get 2 more estimates
from different painters.
When the painter looks at your job and
cannot decide on a price and says he
will do the work on a daily rate,
say no! you want a price for the
whole job. What one painter can do
in 10 hours another may labor to do
it in 20 due to lack of
experience or may not be a painter
at all.
Calculate house painting cost
If the paint job is complicated the
painter may ask if he can do it
on a day-work rate. This is not
a good deal for the householder as there
is no telling what the eventual cost
will be. Insist on a price for
the whole job. Get an estimate from
another painter and compare the two.
They may differ greatly.
Who gives the estimate has a huge bearing
on the cost. A self employed painter
who may be temporally out of work will be
very happy to do your private work,
His outgoings are low and he is
able to paint a simple room without
complex trim for about £130 - £195.
If
you hire a proper contractor with their
high overheads - you will pay 3-4
times that amount.
