Painting Takeoff Services

Detailed Painting Estimating & Material Takeoffs

Painting bids collapse when prep and coats get blended into one vague number. Our painting estimating services quantify interior and exterior surface areas for walls, ceilings, trim, and doors from your finish schedule and elevations, with primer, intermediate, and finish coats listed separately and prep, patching, and protection on their own lines. Specialty coatings, epoxy floors, elastomeric systems, and intumescent fireproofing are estimated as the distinct scopes they are, with production rates matched to substrate, height, and access. Every painting takeoff arrives with lift and scaffold conditions flagged, so labor prices the real work at the real height.

What We Measure

  • Interior walls & ceilings by finish level and paint system
  • Exterior siding, stucco, masonry & metal substrates
  • Trim, doors, frames & millwork: brush, roll & spray quantities
  • Primer, intermediate & finish coats listed separately
  • Drywall prep: patching, skim coat & Level 5 finish allowances
  • Specialty coatings: epoxy, elastomeric, urethane & intumescent
  • Staining, clear finishes & wood restoration
  • Wallcovering: vinyl, fabric & murals by roll and SY
  • Caulking, sealants & backer rod at joints
  • Protection, masking, containment & daily cleanup
  • Lift, scaffold & swing-stage access allowances
  • Lead-paint & hazardous-material handling flags

Material & System Takeoffs

Surface-area painting takeoffs from finish schedules, elevations, and reflected ceiling plans: heights flagged where lifts change the labor, specialty systems never blended into field paint.

Bid-Ready Painting Estimates

Painting estimates with production rates matched to substrate, system, and access, so a 20-foot lobby wall and an 8-foot bedroom wall price like the different jobs they are.

Commercial

Commercial Painting Estimating

Commercial painting for TI, repaints, and new construction: occupied-space phasing, low-VOC and green specification compliance, and night and weekend premiums.
