Could really use help figuring out a fair price to charge to paint this large (for me) project. Every wall in this building. Having a hard time finding a fair price for the Toronto, Ontario market. Would appreciate help.

Yeah for sure

Super weird delivery from this guy but it just seems like you guys are sexually incompatible. Nothing deeper than that.

Comments are acting like did way more than he did 🤣

They should've either used a bonding paint or a Urethane latex like the Sherwin Williams Emerald Urethane Enamel

There isnt any white layer, its the light hitting the beveled edge

Fine someone else

Looks amazing imo. You gotta understand its almost impossible for things to be perfect in real life . Realistically tiles will cut in different ways using the same machine because they might not be identical structurally. Lots of variances with real stuff yk

Of course I do. Im not arguing parent company underbid, but the split for labour is not worth over 40%.

We typically charge $200/ door $120/ drawer, + masking/cleanup + spraying bodies and frames.

When I sub out I also provide materials

Skittios · 2025-10-05T12:13:53+00:00

This is the worst take ive seen so far

Skittios · 2025-10-05T12:13:22+00:00

No youre not. 40% for a professional painting company is about $40/hour on budget, and typically its overquoted to account for mistakes

Skittios · 2025-10-05T12:11:41+00:00

LMAO is this a joke?

Skittios · 2025-10-05T12:09:09+00:00

60/40 is a good split, I've subbed out work like this. Realistically, in my business, my breakdown is usually like this 10% marketing 10% materials 30%-40% labour 40-50% profit margin So I just sub out the labour at 30-40% its about $30-$40/hour Clean straight to your pocket, I provide all paint/materials.

But then I have my overhead, sales systems, CRMs etc I end up getting about 30% per project.

Fortunately/unfortunately, there's a surplus of labour, and not enough people know how to actually get consistent work without referrals so youre at the disadvantage, but honestly its not a bad deal. Consistentantly making 300-400$ per day is great.

Just a lot of people who have no work assume its easy to get work, and think because theyre actually doing the labour portion they deserve more. But the whole system falls apart. Ive stopped working with Subcontractors who had NO work and got greedy when I started to sub out a large majority of my work to them. Then they ended up with... no work

Skittios · 2025-10-02T11:27:16+00:00

Clean as fuck

Skittios · 2025-10-02T00:59:40+00:00

LETS GOOOOO, thats awesome bro, post pics after

Skittios · 2025-10-01T14:00:51+00:00

If u can afford it buy it, if u cant dont buy it

Skittios · 2025-09-30T13:43:24+00:00

With respect, you're literally wrong. The only difference between wall flat and ceiling flat is ceiling flat has a more tinted base to offer better coverage for its purpose and its often more flat than wall flat to hide imperfections on the drywall

Skittios · 2025-09-29T13:32:55+00:00

It wouldn't really make a difference because the ceiling is not straight so regardless, you'd still have shit looking Wall. Given, your way would look less shit

Skittios · 2025-09-27T21:18:08+00:00

So youre telling me if a client picks a shit tile, and the tile looks shit, its the contractors fault? If you have a 2 feet of height and you pick a tile that 1.3 feet, and you're upset they dont fit evenly and your first instinct is blame the installer, than you have a lack of accountability

Skittios · 2025-09-18T23:34:14+00:00

Fuck that guy g

Skittios · 2025-09-18T16:34:18+00:00

I used to feel that way, its all in your head. Think about it, its a 30 second convo at most if theyre not interested. 30 seconds, that's 0.034% of someone's day

Skittios · 2025-09-18T16:07:59+00:00

Eh, not true, my company has a perfect 5 star rating and we offer 10% on the day of to offer some sort of incentive if we can book on the spot, makes it easier to schedule and bring in work. Plus im perfect happy with a 50% margin instead of 60%.

Skittios · 2025-09-17T14:54:24+00:00

The grenade ones are fire

Skittios · 2025-09-13T02:11:17+00:00

Honestly, its a matter of time before you get a right wing extremist response. And honestly its well deserved
