How To Bid Paint Jobs: The Secret to Painting Estimates in 2020. My Secrets Revealed!
What happens here
Based on the detailed information gathered (square footage, property age, visual assessment from Google Earth), the painting estimate is meticulously calculated. The speaker explains their pricing model, which starts with a base rate per square foot (e.g., $1.65/sq ft) and is adjusted according to various factors. These factors include the complexity of the job, such as multi-story homes requiring more equipment and labor, and the specific prep work dictated by the property's age and condition. For instance, a newer, well-maintained home might incur a lower per-square-foot cost due to minimal prep, while an older home with significant wear would increase it. This final calculation is then inputted into QuickBooks, their accounting software, which automates the generation of a professional one-page estimate summary and a comprehensive 20-page bid packet. These documents detail the scope of work, materials, and pricing, formatted for digital delivery.
Goal: Develop and digitally prepare a detailed and accurate painting proposal.
