Tips for painting estimates
- Price walls, ceilings and trim by square or linear foot; customers compare those numbers.
- Put paint and supplies on one line so a color change does not reprice the whole job.
- Note how many coats are included in the description.
Measure the room first: the painting estimate calculator works out wall and ceiling area, gallons of paint and labor, then fills in this estimate for you.
Not sure what to charge? Use the job price calculator and read how to price a contractor job.
Frequently asked questions
Is this painting estimate template free?
Yes. The online maker is free with no sign-up. It starts with typical painting line items, which you can edit, and downloads as a PDF.
What should a painting estimate include?
Your business details and license number if your state requires one, the customer and job address, a clear description of the work, line items with quantity, unit and price, tax, total, deposit, how long the price is valid, and a signature line.
Can I turn it into an invoice?
Yes. Switch the toggle at the top from Estimate to Invoice. The same line items carry over, and you can enter what the customer already paid to show the balance due.
