Painting Costs Calgary – Painting Prices Calgary

An often asked question from potential Calgary Painting Clients is; can you give us a Painting Estimate on the internet or phone or can your Painting Company drive by and leave a painting quote in the mailbox, the answer to this is no.

What many people don’t understand is that painters lack enough information about an unseen paint job to give you an accurate and honest Painting Price on the phone or internet.

Many people ask for a Painting Price based on the square footage of the house or building involved. How can a painter give you an accurate Painting Cost when the house in question for example is a 1500 bungalow; is this a house with a semi retired couple in it that has downsized from a larger 2500 square foot house and still has the same amount of furniture making any rapid progress in the painting very difficult, is the house empty, has the house been painted in the last 15 years, has the house been painted poorly the last 2 or 3 times.

The woodwork and trim may be oil based or lacquer requiring a primer first, were they heavy smokers, is their wallpaper on the walls, have they removed wall paper or painted the over it, there are so many variables.

I feel that the only way to give a fair and honest Painting Quote is to come out and look at the site to be painted. Over the phone or internet painting guesstimates can lead to bad painting quotes leaving the Painting Company and the client with unrealistic expectations.

It is a no win for a painter, when he is asked to guesstimate a paint job. Most people do not want to turn over their hard earned dollars to someone they have never met.

If you are serious about a Painting Estimate, do yourself a favor and meet the painter at the site of the property that needs painting. I hope this has been of some assistance to you.
