Our experts give our clients a proper plan with a brief description of all the details contained in the project plan. Below is a guide to hiring a professional house painting estimator and getting accurate estimations for your project.

  • Accurate and Precise Measurements

One should ensure he measures all the areas of the house, including minute details, to ensure that the calculations are accurate. It is recommended to take measurements of the walls through the calculation of their length and breadth and multiplication of the wall’s area to yield the square area of the walls. Repeat the same process with windows, ceilings, and doors. Determine the house’s location to be painted, do not paint, and estimate the unnecessary areas since this will lead to buying more paint. To avoid confusion, the more particular the noting of the shape’s dimensions, the better the chances of accurate measurement.

  • Number of Coats of Paint Required:

The experts of home painting estimation must determine the number of coats and layers that would be enough to give a fine surface after finishing. Almost every paint and primer must be applied at least twice to maintain a smooth, glossy finish. However, in ONPAINTINGS, experts examine the types of paints, how they are used for the given project, and the environmental temperature of the surface.

  • Pre-assessment of the Surface:

Professional estimators determine the condition of the surface to assess the usage of the quantity of paints, primers, brushes, rollers, and scrapers, among other necessary items. If there are rough or uneven surfaces, then more material is needed. Professional estimators approximate all the basic costs and exclude additional items and their costs from the total price. Therefore, it is necessary to prepare the house for painting and guarantee its evenness and stable adhesion for a long time. Painting is done on surfaces that are not smooth, resulting in cracks and crevices forming at a later juncture.

  •  Use of Tools and Software

•        Estimators should select suitable and efficient equipment to minimize the use of materials to complete the final finishing. Such tools help estimators estimate the cost of painting the interior of a house. The professionals of ONPAINTINGS use software like Edge, on-screen Takeoff (Oncenter), and Plan Swift to provide accurate calculations. Paint calculators help in exact estimations. One of the most commonly used calculators is a home painting estimate calculator.

  • Defining a Timeline

While planning an estimate for a painting project, defining a clear timeline is essential, ensuring efficiency, organization, and customer satisfaction. It also enables the painting team to develop a sense of social responsibility and use the provided resources accurately.

  • Type of Paint

Decide what paint should be applied depending on the surface type available for home or house painting. Because the surfaces are different, different quantities of paint are needed depending on the surface type. Smooth surfaces are easy to paint and require less mountains than surfaces. This affects the overall estimate of the painting project.

Before presenting the finalized outline and full scope of the project, the specialists at ONPAINTINGS always consider all the factors given above.
