Estimate Painting Costs
Its no surprise to me to see a recent
trade news article about painting estimates, to
discover the deciding reasons for preferring one
painting contractor over another. It seems the
clients top priority was not surprisingly, honesty
and trustworthiness followed closely by cleanliness.
The price for the work came next
down the list just above good tradesmen,
time keeping and manners.
Giving an estimate for work sometimes can
be tricky and not always 100% accurate.
Do not be frightened to quote a bit
higher to give yourself a bit of a
safety cushion if some unexpected cost crops
up. If you estimate the work, add
on your anticipated profit, then add another 10%
that should cover things.
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.
Estimate Painting Costs
There is one or two internet painting agencies,
no names given, who work on a day
work basis only. They charge hourly rates
starting at about 20 pounds per hour
that rise to up to 80 per hour
for overtime and weekend work. This seems a
little expensive as you have no idea
what the final cost will be for your
decorations. My advice is steer clear and
get an estimate for the whole job.
