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.

Estimate Painting Costs

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.

It makes no difference if you are tons of
money cheaper than the other guys, if the
client gets a whiff of alcohol on
your breath, they will take this as a
warning sign you could be sloppy,unreliable
or dishonest. Would you allow a person
into your home to work amongst your family
and valuables with this persona, NO. It's a
fact there are of plenty of painters
who firmly believe, that all there is to
the painting and decorating business is knowing
how to paint! The savvy contractor knows
that image is the most important thing.

Estimate Painting Costs

If you have a good idea how long it
takes you to do the actual painting job,
and how many total hours it takes.
A quick and reasonably accurate system for estimating
the whole job is to multiply by.1 or.2
or what you think is the average time
it will take you to: Set up
the job, clean up when finished.
