Painting estimate template for the exterior.

Exterior work lives or dies on prep and weather. This estimate prices the scraping and lead-safe setup up front and puts the weather in the terms. Edit any line.

Valid for 30 days. Deposit due at signing to buy paint and book the crew.
We paint above 50°F with no rain for 24 hours. Weather days move the schedule, not the price.
Built before 1978, so lead-safe work practices apply. You'll get the Renovate Right pamphlet before work starts.
Rotted wood found during prep is replaced by signed change order.

Why it's laid out this way

  • Prep and lead-safe setup priced as real work, not hidden in the square-foot rate
  • Siding per sq ft, trim per linear ft, doors each
  • Primer only where there's bare wood
  • Paint per gallon, so a color with poor hide is easy to adjust
  • Weather, lead and rot handled in the terms before the first ladder goes up

Or build it by chat

Send Redline a photo of the house and say "quote the Thorntons an exterior: 2,100 of siding, 420 of trim, three doors, it's a 1952 so add lead-safe setup, a third down". It builds the itemized estimate with the deposit. To show one coat against two, the quote composer in Money (Solo) lays out good, better and best. Check it and it's saved on their file.

Redline doesn't send them a link to sign. Go over it on the porch or email them from your Gmail. See the painting estimate app page.

Quote the next house from a photo.

Redline is free to start. Describe the job and it lays out the lines and the deposit.
