FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How do painters usually charge?
Painters charge per room, per square meter or foot, or per hour. Use the same method on the invoice as in your quote, so the customer can compare the two easily.
Should paint be listed separately on the invoice?
It helps. Listing paint and materials apart from labor shows the customer what the finish cost, and makes it easy to quote touch-ups later.
Should painters ask for a deposit?
Many do for larger jobs, especially when they buy the paint up front. A deposit of around a quarter to a third of the job is common, deducted on the final invoice.
