Figure out how many hours the job will take you and what you want to make per hour. ![]() To price a painting job you need to figure out what it will cost you in gas to get back and forth from work.There are a few things you need to figure out first when using this method. You’ll have to include more costs in the future such as Insurance costs for your company and vehicles, advertising and more. This method is very basic but enough to get you started. That is when I simplified everything and came up with a method for estimating painting jobs that would give me the opportunity to learn as I grew my new painting business. Looking at my pregnant wife made me realize that I had to figure this out on my own. ![]() I clearly was in over my head and I didn’t know what I was doing. I remember sitting at home with a blank stare and thinking I should just forget about this. That’s when I stopped fake-measuring and I told her I would call her with an estimate. Eventually, she told me she decided on an orange color. I listened to her go on about how many colors she had picked out but couldn’t decide on, all while pretending to take measurements. By the time I realized that I didn’t bring paper it was too late. The only things I brought with me were a pencil and a tape measure. She wanted her walls and ceilings painted. Sitting in that lady’s driveway I kept telling myself that if I ever want to become independent and work for myself then I need to step out of my comfort zone and do this.
