what is the proper way to price an exterior painting job? Does it go by the Sq.Ft. of the house?



want to know do i charge by the square ft or the job it self. Also there will be interior painting done too


Answers:


1There are to many variables to tell you how to charge the outside how many windows, how high is it, how much cut in to do. Me I see a job figure how long its going to take and then figure what I want to make for the job say you wanna make $20 an hour if you figure its going to take 30 hours then $1200.00 to do it plus the material, tape, plastic, thinner, etc..etc..
Just make sure you don't cut yourself short, again depending on the size of house I always figure 1 day to mask, 1 day for clean-up, 1 day for cutting in, and then however big it is set amount of days to spray it.
