Exterior Painting Cost Estimator, Montréal
Even in the theory of economics, there are 
different approaches to the estimation. There is no right or wrong. If you are doing a research on the market and you are calling for a price, you will receive an average quote (per level or per room). This quote only includes some generalities and is covering almost all possible expenses of the painter. That’s why it’s better to give, even at that moment, a detailed information of the work you want done. The next step is a detailed estimate in order to sign a contract. It will be done based on a technical analysis on place of the painting area and it will consider all the specifications you will give. So for both estimates, the preliminary one and the detailed one, you have to be aware about what the price includes and excludes. Here is a list of items to check whether listed in a painting contract:
- paint types: high or low VOC (Volatile Organic Compound)
- materials
- choice of colors
- protection/coverage of the working area with a clean plastic
- working area preparation: takeoff wall paper, pressure-wash, scrape peeling paint, wall glaze, sand walls for smooth finish, primer usage to seal the surface
- repair of holes & cracks
- rooms to be painted
- closets, windows, ceilings, moldings & doors to be painted
- cleaning after painting
- guarantees
If you are satisfied by the conditions and the price you’ve got then go for it… but don’t forget to also listen to your gut feeling. And, in a short time, enjoy your refreshed interior. Good luck, Lora.
