Painting Estimating
Wall, ceiling, and trim square footage broken out by room and finish schedule.
What We Take Off
- Interior wall and ceiling square footage
- Exterior surface area
- Trim and door/frame counts
- Finish schedule cross-reference
- Prep and coat-count allowances
Works from whatever plans you have
Traditional 2D CAD drawings and PDF plan sets, or 3D BIM models — painting quantities are taken off directly from your source files, cross-checked against the model where one exists, and delivered in the same itemized format either way.
Need the drawings themselves, not just a takeoff from them? See Drawing & Engineering Services.
Where painting estimates commonly go wrong
Prep work — patching, sanding, priming new drywall versus a repaint — varies more in labor hours than the paint itself; a takeoff based only on square footage misses this.
