Painting Bidding Software
Interior painting — walls, ceilings, trim. Real market pricing, not a generic AI guess.
$2-6 per sq ft installed, depending on paint tier and scope
What actually moves the price
- •Actual paintable area (wall sqft minus door/window openings) — not floor area
- •Ceiling height and number of coats (dark-to-light color changes need 3, not 2)
- •Scope: walls only vs. walls + ceilings vs. walls + ceilings + trim, priced separately
- •Prep condition — patching and repair work before paint ever goes on
Where painting bids lose money
- •Quoting one flat $/sqft for walls, ceilings, and trim combined instead of pricing them separately
- •Estimating paintable area from floor area instead of actual wall surface
