Painting labor cost estimator
Leaving items off of a estimate when calculating
the price will cost you money. Over a year this
will amount to a large sum of wasted
money. Money which would have given you and
your family some nice holidays in the sun.
If a client ask for a complete job
charge for a complete job.
Your best paint estimate should be a one
of a kind for that particular job.
It must take into account your companies present
productivity, price of materials, labor, profits and
overheads. There is no book or software
that can take into account all the
wildly different conditions found in paint estimating
work. Use you judgment which will increase
over time.
The owner of a painting company must learn
business practices to be successful. It is
not enough to be a great painter,
you can teach anyone within reason to paint.
Many painting contractors go out of business
within their first five years of trading, sadly
due to money problems, brought about by
not charging enough for their services.
Painting labor cost estimator
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.
