Action Painting Inc’s Commercial Painting Estimates
When it comes to hiring a professional painting contractor, you want to know what you’re paying for. Understanding what goes into a painting estimate allows you to make informed decisions for your project. Since Action Painting Inc values honesty and communication, we aim to be as transparent as possible when it comes to our painting estimates.
Wondering how much an exterior painting project will cost? Curious about the average cost to paint a room? Start by learning about the factors that influence painting estimates. Keep in mind that exterior painting cost calculations differ from interior costs.
Painting Costs for Commercial Properties
Depending on the quality, the cost of paint can make up as much as 20% of a painting estimate. It also allows for the most flexibility in determining the painting cost per square foot. With so many different paints on the market, there’s a considerable range in prices. But that doesn’t mean grabbing the cheapest paint out there is the best investment.
Action Painting Inc recommends you choose the absolute best paint your budget permits. While opting for the cheapest paint can save you money upfront, we don’t believe these savings are worth it in the long run. For one thing, low-grade paints use more solvents. As a result, painting contractors need to apply two to three coats. With what you will save in paint costs, you’ll end up paying in labor costs. High-grade paints also have richer pigments and better resins for a durable, long-lasting finish. With quality paint, you won’t have to repaint your walls anytime soon.
Estimate Factors for Commercial Painting
When it comes to transforming your property, professional contractors use more than paint. Painters rely on high-quality equipment to guarantee impressive results. These tools might include brushes, rollers and commercial sprayers. If painters need to clean, sand, caulk or otherwise prepare the paint surface, they’ll include the necessary tools in the estimate. Similarly, if the contractor needs to use paint thinners or other dangerous chemicals, gloves and face masks will also be included. This is especially important to keep in mind for industrial painting jobs.
Primers, tape, drop cloths and glazes are also calculated in exterior and interior painting estimates. The better the materials, the more the project will cost. Keep in mind that high-grade materials also provide visibly superior results.
Labor Costs for Painting Services
Paint estimators also factor in labor costs, which include the time the contractors spend on your property. Washing and repairing the substrate, priming the surface and cleaning up at the end of the day all factor into a painting estimate.
If you want to save on interior painting costs, consider doing some of the preparation work ahead of time. For interior painting projects, you can start by moving and covering your furniture. This way, we can start taping and priming right away!
