Exterior Painting Cost
Estimate your painting project, then verify the proposal.
A useful painting project estimate should consider paintable area, prep work, paint tier, stories, repairs, and local labor. A useful proposal review should also verify scope, allowances, warranty, payment terms, permits, and change-order language.
What to check before signing a project proposal
- Total contract amount and whether it is actually construction cost or a professional-services fee.
- Detailed scope, materials, labor, cleanup, exclusions, and permit responsibility.
- Allowances, unit prices, and what happens when hidden conditions appear.
- Written change-order approval process.
- Workmanship or labor warranty length and what it covers.
