I just want you guys to take a look at this proposal and tell me if my pricing is outrageous. Am I way out in left field with this one?
I just want to know...·Surface preparation as detailed in this proposal. Our preparation processes leave nothing out. Painting is 90% preparation, 10% paint.
·Door frames puttied, caulked, sanded, wiped with a tack cloth and painted.
·Window frames painted.
·Trim puttied, caulked, sanded, wiped with a tack cloth and painted.
·Baseboards puttied, caulked, sanded, wiped with a tack cloth and painted.
·All necessary materials including but not limited to primers, paints, sanding materials, putties, caulks, tape, plastic, drywall compound, rags, roller "naps", etc.
·All necessary labor to complete entire scope of work outlined in this contract.
·Miscellaneous repairs. We will fix all noticeable minor imperfections in the walls including nail holes and dings or gouges.
·Tarps, poly, drop cloths and coverings. Anything not being painted will be properly protected or masked in a professional manner.
·Previously painted surfaces where the existing coating is not failing: Walls with heavy nicotine build-up, grease, dirt, dust, grime, etc. will be cleaned with a tsp/water or an ammonia/water solution to remove any contaminants and provide a clean surface for the new paint to adhere to. All previously painted walls will be pole sanded with 150 grit sandpaper to de-gloss the surface and ensure good adhesion of our new paint. Pole sanding also removes most “trash” or foreign objects attached to the wall during any previous painting. The walls will then be wiped down or vacuumed to remove any dust from sanding. All nail holes will be filled and any imperfections will be skimmed and sanded. After all patches have been applied and sanded those areas will be primed with an appropriate high quality primer. Two top-coats of the specified paint will be applied for proper color representation, surface coverage, and film thickness.
·All trim will be puttied to fill nail holes and imperfections. Trim will then be sanded to ensure a smooth, clean finish. After sanding is complete all trim will be wiped with a tack cloth to remove any dust, and will then be caulked as needed.
·Trim will be painted with Sherwin Williams Pro Classic Waterborne paint. This is a high quality paint that will provide a beautiful, lasting finish on any trim surfaces. Pro Classic gives the look and durability of an oil based finish in a product that cleans up with water and has less solvents.
·Caulk used will be Sherwin Williams 1100A 55 year siliconized latex caulk.
·Windows and doors will be re-caulked as necessary to prevent weather and insect penetration. Areas of failing caulk will be cut out and removed, not simply caulked over. All interior windows will be re-caulked to ensure a proper seal against interior walls.
·This proposal includes moving large furniture items as needed for painting. Customer is responsible for removing any and all other items from the work area including but not limted to knick-knacks, drapes, wall hangings (posters, pictures, mirrors, etc) and any other items not considered large furniture. Any items left in the work area will be moved at the rate of $50/hour. AA Quality Painting & Pressure Washing LLC will not be liable for damage to items left in the work area or moved by any of our employees.
·Flooring and furniture will be properly protected with CLEAN drop cloths that we reserve for interior use ONLY and wash frequently. We would not think of bringing drop cloths used outside into your home. All trim not to be painted will be properly masked and protected. Cabinets, countertops, etc. will also be fully protected during the painting process.
·As a standard procedure, our company will provide you with a kit that will contain a labeled portion of each paint/color for future touch ups.
·All switch plate and outlet covers will be removed during painting, and re-installed when complete. All switches and outlets will be protected with tape during the entire painting process. No paint will be found on switches, outlets, or their covers.
·All areas will be thoroughly vacuumed once painting is complete and large furniture moved by us will be returned to it’s proper place
