The painters who show you the math
Most painting quotes arrive as a single mysterious number. We started Painting Estimator to do the opposite: show the range up front, explain what moves it, and earn the job on clarity.
Why an estimator?
Because the first question every client asks is what it will cost, and the honest answer is a range, not a secret.
Painting prices move with surface area, prep condition, paint grade, and access. None of that is mysterious, so we built our own quoting rates into a public calculator. You see the same math our estimators use, before you ever hand over a phone number.
The ballpark gets you oriented. The walkthrough gets you a firm written quote. If the two ever disagree, the walkthrough wins, and we will tell you exactly why.
What we hold ourselves to
Prep is the job
Paint hides nothing. Filling, sanding, caulking, and priming are where the finish is actually made, so that is where our hours go.
Numbers in writing
The quote you sign is itemized: labor, materials, and extras. Changes get priced before the work happens, never after.
Your schedule leads
Start dates we commit to, daily tidy-ups, and a site you can live or work in while the job is running.
