Paint Estimate Questions

How do you price labor for painting?

Most contractors price labor by square foot, with adjustments for surface type. This spreadsheet applies a labor multiplier for each surface type — textured walls, ceilings, trim — so your labor hours reflect the actual difficulty of the job.

How much should it cost to paint 1000 square feet?

The market rate for interior painting typically runs $2 to $6 per square foot. This spreadsheet checks your cost per square foot against that range so you can see if your bid is competitive before you send it.

How much would a painter charge to paint a 12x12 room?

A 12x12 room has 384 square feet of wall surface. This spreadsheet calculates paint quantity, labor hours, and supplies for that square footage, then applies your markup so you get a price based on your costs, not a guess.

How do handymen estimate painting jobs?

Many handymen estimate by eye or by the room, which leads to missed costs. This spreadsheet lets you enter the exact surfaces and square footage, picks the right paint and coverage rate, and gives you a defensible number for the bid.
