Painting Rates In SF
Hi,
I am a decorative finisher (plaster & faux). My faux clients have asked me to help them out by painting 2 additional rooms (standard painting). Because I don't typically do straight painting without faux over top I am not sure what the appropriate rate would be to charge. I obviously cannot charge Decorative artist rates. One average size room about 320 sq ft and a small room about 220 sq ft. WALLS ONLY, no ceiling, lots of protection needed because of windows, doors, 1 ft. high baseboards, hardwood floor etc. Both rooms are very dark green in color and will be painted light colors, so I am basing the cost on one coat High Hiding primer and 2 coats of color per room. Paint will be acrylic and rolled. Anyone have a good idea of the sq. ft. rate I should be charging? Thanks, Chaka |

Re: Painting Rates In SFQuote:
Is you overhead going to be less or more? Is your liability insurance rate going to change? Will your helpers or you work for a different rate? Will your bookkeeper charge a different rate for putting this transaction on the books? Charge your regular rate It can't be that much less than what a Quality Painting Company charges Ah...that could be an issue I would absolutely not recommend using a sq. ft. rate for charging custom interior occupied repaints There's not nearly enough information in the sq. ft. numbers alone to make a realistic attempt to figure out how long it's going to take you (thus how much to charge) Occupied re-paints have waaaaaaaaaaaayyyy to many "ifs"
