Exterior Painting Takeoff Service
While offering exterior painting services, how many times you’ve just put yourself in trouble because of improper exterior paint takeoffs? Some misreading measurements, double counting, and other such frustrations will negatively impact your performance on a commercial and residential exterior paint project.Â
An exterior painting job requires more accurate and in-depth estimating wherein you need to exclude unwanted areas like doors and windows if not part of your scope. It is without a doubt that accurate exterior painting estimates for commercial paint jobs are notoriously difficult to make especially while you’re already overstretched and over-extended by several responsibilities.
Frequently Asked Questions ( FAQs)
Early summer and early fall usually offer up the best weather conditions, with minimal rain and minimal fluctuations in temperature from day to night. This will ensure the paint goes on smoothly and has the chance to dry and cure properly.
After pressure washing your house, you have to wait for it to fully dry before you can paint it. This waiting time can be anywhere from 24 hours to 3 days. Pressure washing isn’t for beginners. If you’re not experienced, the high water pressure can easily damage portions of your house’s exterior.
Commercial Painting Business Trade
Commercial exterior painting services include something more than just registering your company with the state. No doubt! The work is super exciting, painless, and doesn’t require hefty investment but things can go wrong if you’re not sure where you’re heading. You need a plan of attack and you have to follow certain steps to make sure your project is a success.
Surface imperfections and watermarks can be a pain to cover up, especially for commercial projects. You need to work hard against the stains with multiple coats to cover them. You need to protect surfaces as you don’t want to paint the carpet while painting a skirting board. Applying paint without splashes takes years of experience and it is better to take your time because a cost-effective quick lick of paint can turn into a much longer task.
Labor and Material Exterior Painting Takeoff Estimates
We understand that it is crucial for any exterior painting job to understand all the ins and outs of the job at hand, such as removing areas like doors and windows, how to prepare walls, and how many coats of paint and primer are necessary to complete the project, and the height of the walls, so you know whether scaffolding is required.
You also will need accurate numbers so that you can determine whether you have the resources to complete the job or not. When you are working on a commercial complex, you have to know the number of buildings you will be doing and how many rooms for each of the buildings; it is a lot to account for and manage, and if your numbers are off, your financial resources can be in jeopardy.
Because we use Planswift software, you will receive an audit trail with the painting estimate we send you. The software will accurately measure all the areas on the paint finish schedule tagged for paint such as walls, ceilings, all trim, and any other surfaces that will be painted. You can also adjust your lists of materials automatically because we send you an Excel spreadsheet.
Every single wall and ceiling surface will be accounted for whether it is a straight surface or a curved surface, making the planning and estimating process faster and more reliable than ever before.
