If you know your production rates you can bid by square footage.
Should you bid floor space or wall space for painting.
Do you know how long it takes you to paint 200 square feet of wall space.
You know your square footage of a room however.
Cutting in and rolling.
But that s what paint is for.
A 10 10 8 room would be a different price from a 10 10 12.
If you re hanging a painting drawing print or any other artwork on the wall over a piece of furniture such as a bed or sofa look for artworks that are between 65 percent and 85 percent of the furniture s total width.
Do you know how long it takes you to paint a chair rail.
This is where the hanger should be placed so mark this spot.
30 feet of chair rail.
Unless of course you are painting the floors with porch floor paint then that makes sense.
Anything larger will make your furniture look comically small and anything smaller will leave too much blank space.
Sometimes contractors will talk about square footage about floor space and other times it will be about wall space.
One home has a lot more detail than the other home.
In both cases they might use about the same amount of materials and paint.
With the mouly it would be 7 inches above the 57 inch mark meaning the artwork will actually hang 64 inches from the floor.
Imagine you have 2 homes that are both 2500 square feet.
Robertpaint if you bid per floor area you are one hurtin dude.
As one would require more prep more labor and more paint.
I agree that measuring the floor space only would make your estimate inaccurate.
Basically track houses since they are all basically have the same specs.
I only give a bid for the floor footage after seeing the plans for the homes.
In either case there are problems with this approach.
Still telling apart the different zones that make up an open space id often difficult without the usual wall barriers.
You could loose allot of money bidding like that.
Open floor plans bring a lot of benefits the most appreciated of all being the fact that they visually increase the spaciousness of an area and allow us to make the most of our homes.
