What is the square foot price for interior painting in Portland Oregon?

Answer 1

Let me preface the following with a more positive note. While it's true that repaints are not going to be as cut and dry in square foot pricing it is possible to "guestimate" a price that will be in the ballpark. An experienced estimator knows sight unseen that certain jobs will take "x" amount of labor to accomplish- notwithstandinging the aft mentioned concerns. So don't automatically assume a contractor isn't licensed bonded and insured because he knows how to do his estimating job well. That being said please give some credence to the following.

Beware any painter who will give you a square foot price without looking at the job. It's like asking the price per pound for beef. Are you looking for unused beef biproducts or are you looking for a nice steak.

We set the cost of a job based on the specific conditions, environment and products to be used. Square foot pricing works okay with new construction but with repainting it is vital to see the condition of the surface, understand the level of prep required and talk with the customer about their needs and expectations to be able to give a solid bid. With square foot prices we are more expensive than low quality painters. If you look at the entire project, the durability of the end product, the quality of the work, the cleanliness of the site and the level of customer service and professionalism our work is very cost effective. Also, many of the lowest prices companies are not properly insured or licensed; don't pay their taxes; and hire low quality help.
