Hello.

What do you charge per square foot to paint walls only with 2 coats of paint?

Some rooms have furniture and some are empty. Is there a price difference with furniture?

No priming involved and little repairs.

Also what do you charge to paint 6 pannel doors and frames? They only need 1 coat.

What is your price per linear foot to paint baseboards and trim? They also only need 1 coat.

If you could let me know. I need a general idea of what you charge.

Thank you,

Dave

I charge by room not square feet. No price difference if there is furniture but it needs to be moved to the centre of the room. Doors both sides two coats no primer cost $25/side. Frames are $25/frame. Again I don't price by linear ft for baseboard and trim. It's $50/hr.

I hope that answers your questions!

Take care,

I'm sorry, I can only supply pricing on jobs by either meeting with the customer on the job site or working from architectural drawing or speaking directly with the customer to go over the variables that exist on every job.eg location, amount of prep, type of materials, etc.

I'd also like to point out that any other competitor could be looking for this info to gain an edge.

Thanks,

Dave

We usually charge about $300 per room for walls only. This includes all labour, paint and materials and a moderate amount of prep.

We charge about $25 per door one coat which also includes all labour, paint and material.

Baseboards would be 50 cents per foot.

Hello there,

I hope your having a great day. In order to answer your question properly I would need some information from you.

We charge per room, not sq ft, therefore I would need to know the sq ft per room. Will there be any accent walls? Would you be painting the ceilings? Once I receive this information I will be able to provide you with a price.

Looking forward to hearing from you!
