Price for painting house exterior
Picking up your paint brush and decorating a
room is not the whole job, there are
other things that are part of the work
and must go into the jobs final estimate.
Travel time, loading and unloading plant and materials.
Preparing a room for painting involves, removing
furniture and sheeting up. When the job is
finished clean up time. This could take as
long as the painting itself!!
It is only natural for folk to feel
a little apprehensive when inviting a tradesman
or women to call around to your home
and give an estimate for decorating, that
is why some try to get an
estimate over the phone. There is no
way this can be done, the work
has to be seen. If you feel uneasy
about people calling have someone else in
the property for moral support and company.
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.
Price for painting house exterior
I went to a house to estimate some
rooms. I was met by the husband
and wife. I asked what had to be
done, then inquired was anyone else giving
them a estimate if so how many.
She replied six other painters were going to
give her written job estimate. I said i
was not going to waste time writing out
a estimate and walked out the door. It
would take me 3-4 hours unpaid work
and then the odds would be 8-1
against me!! no thanks.
