Question 1

How should I break down a painting quote?

Accepted Answer

The best painting quotes break work down room by room, with separate lines for prep (filling, sanding, masking), wall coats, ceiling coats, and woodwork. Customers want to see what they're paying for, a lump sum looks like a guess.

Question 2

Should I itemise materials in my painting quote?

Accepted Answer

For larger jobs, yes. List the paint brand and type, number of coats, and whether you're supplying or customer-supplied. It shows professionalism and prevents disputes about quality.

Question 3

How do I win more painting jobs with my quotes?

Accepted Answer

The painter who sends a professional PDF quote with room-by-room breakdown wins over the one who texts '3 bed, €2,800'. QuoteFlow creates that professional quote in 2 minutes on your phone.
