Another great video new subscriber

HELLO THERE, GREAT VIDEO!

HAPPY WEEK, DEREK

6 hours to paint walls in one room? 2 hours max.

It's always better to not only itemized your labour but pricing

Wait, i just got to the part where you start mentioning Prep time. You mean to tell me you have a guy that takes 6 hours to simply paint the walls in a 12 x 20 room? No prep included, and only one coat? How much you hiring for? I havent taken a linch since i started painting and it sounds like a nice opportunity .

What about 240 x 3-4$ + paint and sundries. It seems faster and simpler to me to do this

Really enjoyed this video...however....I have never been asked to paint a room with just one coat...and that room would become very expensive with another coat added on. Hmmm...I must be doing something wrong.

Thanks good info

12×20=240 square feet

Thanks, it help me

How do you factor if you have one of your employees do this job & u pay him $25/hr? Do you estimate at $50/hr & pay him the$25 & keep the other $25/hr or do you add your $50 to your guys $25? Not sure i understand how that would work

From Boston?

What would it cost to paint on interior 10 x 10 room or office with 8ft walls

6 hours for one coat 😂 come on man that’s price gouging now

U have the slowest painters on earth

Thanks you are good. Help me a lot. We just starting a Painting Business Everett, Ma.

brother..... your estimated time on painting that one room is WAY off..... not sure i take your advice going forward

How you get leads when u are starting and low budget

There is no way i paint a bedroom starting about $250. Thats a few hours😂

Why not calculate in two coats. Why not calculate per wall ? 12x8 10x8 12x8 10x8 minus windows.

Great video! How would you estimate for new construction?

Easiest illustration ever, great job keep it simple, thank you

FOR NEWBIES: great explanation for hourly. And for ppl that don't have a basic concept of how long it would take, or for like me for instance, to make up the difference in time due to the new employee of the week not knowing crap although they swore they did... . I do mine buy sg ft of space to be painted room 12x10 8 ft. high. 2 windows, 1 door, 1 door casing walls: 12x8, 12x8, 10x8, 10x8 = 352sq 352X .85 (my price, 2 coats per sq)=$300.00 (rounded) . Ceiling: 12x10= 120sqx$1.25=$150.00 base 12+10 +12+10=44 LINEAR ft. X$2.50=$110.00 windows, doors AND door casing $75 EACH.=$300 TOTAL room $860.00 PLUS materials PLUS extra time for extra (more than normal) cut in , patching, stuff to work around. etc etc. Anything that makes it not a normal basic rooms. I didn't check my math because I need to get. lol but your video was great and now there's this. Happy Painting!

First 12 hours were for one coat on , ceiling, woodwork, and walls, isn’t it?

That’s a great breakdown sir thank you you make it easy.

Line item demonstration for interior quotes and what can you add on to the estimate for “Painting Alternatives” Can’t wait time see more and what you have to offer everything makes sense for far keep up the great work👍🏻 Happy Day, Derek

On the Template for Interior painting -t here are the Material measurements at the bottom of the spreadsheet - BUT I see that you are measuring 1 gallon of paint for EACH internal door and Window, and maybe 'frames' - this is much too high - even if you leave the remains of the 'gallon' of paint with the Client - can you comment on the 'coverage' rate used for the frame, door and window -which I think is nothing like the 1 gallon each - maybe only 0.5 LITRE per coat - if used as the template the cost of the material I think will be much too high

6 hours for 1 coat on a master bedroom? thats an extremely slow painter. It'll take about 2 hours for 1 coat, thats not including the prep or anything. So if youre doing 2 coats you double the hours on the walls, trims doors ceilings and paint? the only thing that wouldnt double would be the prep and the rollers and brushes.

This is someone I could kick it with for like a century.

Thanks so much

Where is the profit?

Nice job thank you

Great video Love it. Thank You

Thank you I alway prise wrong but you just put me right goodman

Tyvm!!! Wish me luck:)

The best video I seen so far on this topic. Not too much fluff or analogies.

3 hrs to paint a ceiling one coat? 6 hours to roll out the walls? That is crazy I am a professional manager I can paint that ceiling in under an hour easy and get two bedrooms body cut and rolled in 6 hours

one coat? What about primer , and two coats...?

6 hours for walls in one bedroom but two hours for baseboard?

Thank you! This is so helpful.

I price the same way

LOVE THIS AND THANK YOU

Excellent!

Very good video!

Well said.......👍👍

Hello there great concept and right to the point, do you have an example sheet of what line items look like on a professional quote? Would love to know more on the presentation and add one for up sale options also great work here makes sense👍🏻 Kindly Requested Happy Day, Derek

1 coat? Lol. 1 coat isn't going to work 90% of the time unless it is the same exact color and it was painted with the last 5 years or so.

Very helpful 👌

Hi how you estimate a new construction house with crown molding and coffer ceilings

What would be best mid range paint

Hello, My name is Dave. I'm new to bidding on jobs. I need to do a bid on a ceiling. It is 1008 sqft. It is 18 feet high. I wanted to know what's the best method to charge. I have to worker whom I pay $25 per hour. The customer buys the paint. I will have to rent scissors lift to get to the ceiling as well. Thanks for any information you can provide.

Very insightful video. Thanks for sharing

Great video...... My estimates are about the same as yours but we do 2 coats for everything. 2 coats ceiling and 2 coats walls. We use top SW and still always do 2 coats. Should I be charging more?
