I know this is weird because everyone lives all over, and if anyone knows where I could look at a site or something that would be good too. I know I could get a book, but I need a round about as soon as I can.
Im a paint contractor, and I have a General that I think is pulling my chain. He said that new construction painting should cost “x” amount in square feet and it is half my bid. Now my rates are lower than any painter I know of around here and I dont know how to verify if Im too high or he is pressing me to put me over the barrel.
I told him that if there was a discrepancy it was because other bids werent accounting the same includes or coats
If there are painting contractors willing, or generals that know about what to expect to pay for a full court paint job, or anyone else with insight that would be great.
I dont use a Square Foot Price, or if you have a formula? How much do you allocate for a painter

any takers?
Zendo,
If you want to hook up with other contractors, I'd advise that you post this on Breaktime, which is the forum associated with Fine Homebuilding.
oh thank you, you can see this thread over there too. Just thought Id try to hit up the "interior decorators"
