Question

I plan on starting a painting business and would like tips on how to charge for the service.

Answer 1

some by Job some by the hour.........

You should have the experience to know the difference..

you set the table..

charge by the type of base paint--water base latex is simple

but oil based and such hard to clean up and ruins brushes..

roll it or brush---or spray..............

35.00 an hour?

300 for standard room is 8 hours prime and paint.

Answer 2

We have just had our interior painted 3 bedrooms & a kitchen.

We asked for a quote upfront.

It was $4000 Australian dollars.

We paid $1000 at the start, $1000 during the job and $2000 at the end. They did a great job, and that included all the paint.
