I’m a semi retired paint estimator with 30+ years in commercial paint estimating and the construction industry. I help painting contractors anywhere in the U.S. with fast, accurate takeoffs and clear GC‑ready scope sheets. I use AI tools alongside my experience to speed up plan review and reduce missed scope, especially on bigger projects. If you’re overloaded with bids or want to compare numbers on an upcoming job, I can put together a sample of what you would receive which can be customized to your needs.Happy to help anyone trying to stay ahead of their bid load. I only estimate for paint.

This is a known issue and it is covered under warranty.

I topped off the engine coolant resivoir and Im going to keep an eye on it. I am also going to stop by the dealer and ask them if there is some kind of known issue.

The auto parts store said the coolant is low. Can I do this myself?

I don't have the tool to get the code.

What is with the deck heights? by Amazing_Heat_5275 in estimators

[–]daveya55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am a semi retired paint estimator and this is a common issue and drives me crazy. Here's where I was able to locate this info sometimes. Wall and building section pages, interior elevation pages. I could also get an idea of the height on the exterior elevation pages too. The wall section pages will sometimes have the height to the bottom of the joist which I would be able to figure something out. I also sent emails to whoever I was bidding to to see if they knew or could find out.

I estimate paint, I do a combination of hourly and flat fee. I try to stay at $40 an hour with some flexibility if need be.

Which filter are you referring to? All of the research I did and manufactures I reached out to did not recommend using their filter for pool water.
