Common questions about costs and estimates for this service.
To calculate the approximate square footage for interior walls, measure the perimeter of each room and multiply by the ceiling height. Don't forget to account for doors and windows if you're deducting for openings, or include them for a simpler estimate that often balances out. For floors, simply multiply length by width.
Extensive surface preparation includes tasks beyond basic cleaning, such as significant drywall repair, plaster patching, stripping old paint, heavy sanding, or priming stained surfaces. This adds considerable labor time and material costs, pushing the price per square foot towards the higher end of the ranges mentioned ($3.92–$5.5 per sq ft for premium work).
Yes, specialty paints typically cost more per gallon than standard interior paints. You should factor in the higher material cost directly into your bid. These paints often offer benefits like better durability or health advantages, which can be part of a premium service offering.
It's prudent to account for some material waste. A common practice is to add 5-10% to your calculated material needs for paint, tape, and other consumables. This helps cover spills, unexpected extra coats, or minor miscalculations without eroding your profit margin.
If a client provides their own paint, your bid will primarily reflect labor costs and other materials (tape, primer, drop cloths, brushes). Ensure the client-supplied paint is of suitable quality for the job, as using inferior paint can lead to more labor time for additional coats or poor finish, which you should communicate upfront or factor into increased labor hours.
