How to quote as a painter
Painting quotes win on showing the prep — the part clients underestimate — alongside labour and materials. Whether you price by room, by the square foot, or as a fixed bid, an itemised estimate justifies the number and beats a bare lump sum.
This template opens with prep, labour and materials, plus a deposit and validity period. Adjust per job and send a professional estimate the client can approve.
What to include
- Rooms / areas and surfaces to paint
- Surface prep (sanding, filling, priming)
- Labour estimate — hours or fixed price
- Paint and materials, with number of coats
- Validity period and deposit
Typical terms: Valid 30 days · 30% deposit on acceptance
Frequently asked questions
Should prep be a separate line on a painting quote?
Yes — listing prep (sanding, filling, priming) separately justifies the bid and shows the work behind a quality finish that a cheaper quote may be skipping.
How do I quote by room vs by square foot?
You can do either: one line per room with a fixed price, or a labour line based on square footage × rate. State the number of coats either way so the scope is clear.
