Q. I am looking in to doing some interior home painting jobs. I am not sure what to charge? Do you base it on the size of the rooms? How and what do I charge? How much should I charge for small repairs, putting in a new faucet, new fan?
A. Whether you bid the job or do T&M (time & material) you have to figure out what you are willing to work per hour. This may not be what you are worth per hour, as competition, location and economic times sometimes dictate terms.
The easiest solution I recommend to people in your situation, is to look over each aspect of the individual job (fan instillation, painting, etc) determine how much time it will take to complete each job from start to finish â¦â¦then double the time âyou thinkâ it will take. It may seem excessive, but it is a simple formula that has proven itself time and again.
There are many variables that go into bidding a jobâ¦â¦ but using this formula should assure you of being within the market range of a bid.
Whatever you determine your hourly at, plus material (and any mark up you put on material) would be your estimated price (and donât forget to figure any time spent at the store)

Having a home painted on the outside?
Q. When having your home professionally painted ( I assume with a gun ) how far can the fine mist travel? I realize there are varying factors, but am looking for a generalized answer. Typically how many feet?
Thanks

A. Painters will take every precaution from overspray as they are responsible and accountable.
On a windy day I have seen overspray from soffits go over buildings and mist coat cars some 100 feet away.
A little heads up⦠and question to ask your painters. Ask them if they back roll when they spray.
This is something I require from all the painting contractors when doing homes, it extends the longevity of the job; although not as much so when shooting a nonporous job

How to go about painting interior of home?
Q. Hi,
So I recently bid on an interior home painting job. This job only requires walls done, no ceilings and no trim. It is a 3 bedroom, 2 bath home, no painting in kitchen required. I will be doing a small amount of patch work and sanding to prep for paint. Once neutral color is what owner is wanting, Certain walls will require two to three coats as the existing color is quite dark. That about covers it. I am new to this so was hoping for a few suggestions on how to tackle job. Obviously i will be taping off all trim however do I also tape ceiling area where wall meets at the top? I have a good cutting in brush which I am confident I can use here however want to be sure. Any other recommendations for job. Perhaps cocking along trim of baseboards which are white for nice leveled finish? I am doing the job for $500.00 dollars plus owner is paying for materials. I feel this is an extremely good deal for him and the house is fairly new, so perhaps cocking is unnecessary. This is my first true interior paint job so please help me with the fundaments including materials needed for patch work, sanding grit paper intensity, anything i've missed, etc. It is a 2000 square foot home, and remember walls only. I would really appreciate any type of guidance here as i really need to leave a solid job to obtain future work. Thank you

A. As you know that today fashion is changing day by day and paint is now old idea and expensive also .I am giving you my personal idea as i tried it and it was very effective,,
You should try some home furnishing fabrics like herringbone, printed, wide stripped, dobby, jacquard and solid home furnishing fabrics .As these create a very expensive look to your home ,The good thing is that you can change these fabrics according to your need in different different rooms i know some online stores which are manufacturer and suppliers of these fabrics at affordable rates ,,see more on kochartex website try this and see the difference.
