Paint Estimating for Contractors
Q. I need to know how to price a job of painting a small two bedroom condo with
one wall vaulted in living area, all the trim and doors and both bathroom ceilings
for a total 900 sq. feet.
A. This is not something I can help you with directly; however, the Painting
& Decorating Contactors Association (www.pdca.org)
does have estimating guidelines that you might be able to purchase from their
bookstore. (I'm not sure if non-menmers can purchase books, but I assume that
they can, since it is a money-maker.) I have not seen the book myself, but here
is a link to a manual on estimating: https://extraweb1.gomembers.com/TransGen.asp?Action=ReDisplay
Good luck:
Best Wishes,
