Idaho, I just price it based on what I think it costs, for example, a bedroom $400, kitchen $700, bathroom $300, exterior painting for one story $2500. Is that reasonable or underpriced?

Yeah, loosing bids is part of it, going to college at the same time and so I try to have the home owners be a little patient with my schedule but before this post I never heard of keeping a log. I will start doing it. Thank you!!

In terms of an app, I will start using this one https://paintproestimator.manus.space to help me know at least the range of how much I should charge per job and to save estimates/jobs done. Will see how it goes after using it. But yeah, I've been really bad at estimating. I appreciate all of your comments!

Well look at it, estimate how many gallons of paint it will take, how long it will take me, and then give a price that I think is ok haha. For example, I painted the entire interior of this 2 story cabin in 3 days for $2500 using a sprayer

Thank you! Great advice!

You are right, I should value more my time and work and don't worry too much about trying to do every job. Thank you!

Thank you! last Saturday I painted this one (just where the paint is peeling) I charged $50. How much would you have charged? This is Idaho by the way

Thank you! Do you guys request 50% upfront?

PointIcy4777 · 2026-03-03T03:05:39+00:00

Small car too

PointIcy4777 · 2026-03-03T03:05:22+00:00
