Painting & finishes

Know the surfaces.
See the whole scope.

Painting takeoffs that organize walls, ceilings and finish work into a practical basis for your next quote.

Inside the takeoff

A painting bid is more than a wall-area total.

Walls & ceilings
Surface quantities organized by the agreed area, substrate or finish classification.
Doors, frames & trim
Separate counts or measurements for items that should not disappear inside a general wall quantity.
Finish schedules & scope notes
Coating systems, preparation and coat assumptions tied to the supplied schedules and specifications.
Access & special conditions
Height, difficult access, exposed structure and specialty finishes identified for review where shown in the documents.

What to send

Architectural plans, reflected ceiling plans, elevations, finish schedules and coating specifications. Include the areas you are bidding and any exclusions.

What you receive

An editable quantity workbook organized to the agreed scope. Priced estimates and marked-up drawings can be discussed when we define the assignment.

What to clarify

Surface preparation, primer, coating systems, waste and access equipment depend on the specified work. Tell us how you want these handled in the estimate.

Before we begin

Start with a clear agreement.

Can you separate interior and exterior painting?

Yes. We can organize the takeoff by interior and exterior scope, building, level or finish type when the documents provide that information.

Can you price the takeoff as well?

Yes, where a priced estimate is agreed. Share project location, pricing date and any preferred supplier or labor information. The pricing basis and exclusions should be clear.

What does it cost and how long will it take?

Request a free quotation by sending the scope and deadline. Most projects are delivered within one week, depending on drawing completeness, project size and complexity. We confirm the actual schedule before starting.
