Painting Estimating and Takeoff Process

We approach painting estimating and takeoffs professionally and systematically. Here’s where we begin:

Initial Consultation

We begin with a talk about the scope of your project. This helps us know your requirements, objectives, and schedule. Whether you are painting a single-family residence, a multi-story commercial building, or retail, we will customize our estimate to meet your particular needs.

Surface Area Calculation

We measure walls, ceilings, trim, and any other surfaces that will be painted to calculate the amount of surface area that needs painting. We also identify areas that may require special treatment, such as pressure washing, sanding, or patching.

Labor Estimation

It includes the number of laborers needed, the skill level, and the time to complete. We always focus on the fact that the cost related to labor is reasonable with regard to local labor pricing in California.

Final Estimate

We then do a detailed estimate, showing costs with respect to materials, labor, equipment, and all other specific factors related to your project. We also give you an estimated timeline so you understand when the project will be finished.

Follow-up Support

We give support and ongoing assistance throughout the duration of the project. This way, any form of challenge that arises will be addressed by tweaking or adding more services so that your project runs without a hitch and within budget.
