How we set our pricing

Are you worried about paying too much for paint services? I think most people would be, as no one wants to over-pay for something. However, like with most things, you get what you pay for – and home services are no different, including painting.
We like to be transparent when it comes to what our clients pay, and we understand that costs can be a source of worry for many people. So we thought we’d talk about how we determine pricing.
There are three main factors that affect our pricing:
Skilled Crews:
The more reputable the painting contractor, the more skilled their crews. We only hire qualified and experienced employees, and we compensate them fairly. We also invest in regular training and safety training for our employees.
We want our clients to trust that our crews will behave professionally and deliver professional results. When we sign a contract with a client, we will work to honor that. Our reputation for high-quality work is thanks to our crews that perform high-quality work on each project.
Costs: 
Our business costs include salaries, investing in regular training, and the general costs of running a business. We also pay the necessary employer contributions and benefits. It’s our belief that by investing in our employees, we can attract and retain the best talent. Some of our general costs include buying and using quality supplies and materials; things such as caulking, paper to protect flooring, drywall tape, tools, uniforms, ladders, trucks, and so on. As a reputable painting contractor, we don’t believe in skimping on the materials or their quality.
Profit Margin:
We believe that our pricing needs to incorporate a fair enough profit margin that also guarantees our clients a fair and reasonable price. We maintain a profit margin that allows us to pay fair, living wages to our employees and invest back into our company. We believe in maintaining a reasonable balance between our profit margin and our client’s costs.

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.
