Painting a house cost
Last week I got talking to a fellow
painting business owner. We talked about prices.
I inquired what was his hourly rate. I was
half expecting him to say a low
figure, but what he said shuck me!!
his hourly rate was so low, but he
defended this by saying he did not want
to lose work. I told him stop robbing
himself and to raise his rate by at
least 50% and he would still get work.
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.
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.
Painting a house cost
A painting contractor should never stop learning if
he wants his business to grow and it
can only grow not only if it gets
more work but makes a profit on
every man who it employs. He must
learn business principals, Read books on sales
techniques, go to seminars. Education in your
chosen business has everything to do with
your continuing success.
