12 May How we set our pricing
FAQ
1. What factors determine the price of my painting project?
Our pricing is based on several key factors, including the size of the area to be painted, the type and condition of surfaces, the number of coats required, the level of preparation involved (such as sanding, priming, or repairs), and the quality of materials used. Additional considerations like specialty finishes, accessibility, and any custom requests can also affect the final cost.
2. Do you provide a detailed breakdown of your estimates?
Yes, we offer transparent, itemized estimates. Each quote clearly outlines costs for labor, materials, prep work, and any additional fees. This ensures you understand exactly what you’re paying for, with no hidden charges.
3. How do you charge for painting services: per hour, per square foot, or per project?
We use a combination of pricing methods depending on the nature of the job. For standard projects, we often charge per square foot or per room. For more complex or specialized work, an hourly or day rate may apply. Our estimates specify the pricing structure used for your particular project.
4. Are materials and prep work included in your pricing?
Yes, our prices generally include both labor and materials, as well as standard preparation work like priming and sanding. If extensive repairs or specialty prep is needed, these will be clearly listed as separate items in your estimate.
5. Why do prices vary between different projects or homes?
Every painting project is unique. Prices can vary due to differences in home size, surface condition, the complexity of the work, the type of paint or finish requested, and the amount of prep required. We tailor each estimate to reflect the specific needs and challenges of your project, ensuring fair and accurate pricing.
