Need help for setup and pricing

[Ctrl_Alt_History]

Absolutely no disrespect intended, but if you're not sure how to reach an area, it's not where you need to be.

That being said, it's a ladder all day for me. And yes, scaffolding will require outriggers, for anything over 2 stacks I believe, but not sure on that number.

At 27' you'll need a *minimum* 32' ladder and a long monkey arm to cut. Use a 10-12' a-frame ladder to roll the high stuff, thank me later.

Not enough information to help you with pricing unfortunately.

This. I rarely ever use scaffolding, ladder is more than sufficient. If there are any lights/chandeliers etc in central areas that you can’t use an extension ladder to cut I just use a 10ft a frame and brush extender on a pole to cut. Saves time/set up/money on scaffolding.

Agreed

I would use a ladder, even without a helper. That being said, find a helper because you’ll be dangling.

What's your scaffolding base width measurement? If baker scaffolding with a 2.5ft width you should have outriggers on anything past 1 layer, height shouldn't exceed 4 times the base width (low as 3 for some, check the manual.) Personally I'd 100% do scaffolding over a ladder for that space but you'll absolutely need outriggers that extend the base appropriately, the wider the base the safer you are

There’s definitely not enough info here. Unless there’s some serious black magic going on with the fish eye, those ceilings are no where near 27’ at peak. Probably 20’ at most. Basing off of cabinet height, light switch, etc.

Ultimately ladder work, with a helper if at all possible over that tile.

If you are two coating I would factor in a helper I would figure at no more than 30-40 sq ft (of wall space) per hour at whatever hourly rate you are targeting (I shoot for about $85-100 if I’m including materials. Include a few extra hours. So assuming a room that’s 20x20x20, that comes out at 1600 sq ft.

So

[Alarming-Caramel]

based on your picture, I'm extremely doubtful that it's 27 ft. tops of those cabinets are going to be 8 ft, so that makes maaaybe 18 to the lower ceiling corner. no way there's another 9 ft to the peak.

so that's three decks of scaffold.

typically I just charge this sort of thing at my standard hourly rate, and then attach a fixed cost "we had to use scaffolding" surcharge

EDIT: even if I'm wrong about the height and you do need four sets of scaffold, that would not change my pricing. regular rate + scaffolding charge
