COMET Estimating is your painting cost estimator in Florida, Georgia, Alabama, South Carolina, Texas, Arizona and California, along with 35+ other states across the USA. We prepare each online painting estimate from your drawings and finish schedules, so your location does not slow down the work.
Painting scope changes with the building. A house needs different preparation, access and coatings than a hospital, a warehouse or a petrochemical plant. Our painting estimating services cover residential, commercial, industrial and specialty work, and each estimate is built from your drawings, finish schedules and surface conditions. This gives contractors and sub contractors quantities that match the job they are bidding.
We provide painting estimates for homes, custom homes, apartments, condominiums, home additions, studio flats, home improvements, mansions and mixed use facilities. Our estimators measure walls, ceilings, trim, doors and stairs room by room, so residential projects of any size are priced on real quantities. Each estimate includes patching, priming and the labor each space needs.
Our commercial estimates cover offices, shopping malls, exhibition buildings, hospitals, schools, fire stations, restaurants, airports, hotels and warehouses. Our takeoffs include large wall areas, high ceilings and phased or after hours work. We price each phase separately, so your bid matches how the building will be painted.
We estimate coatings and painting for mining and metals plants, petrochemical plants, hydrocarbon processing plants, pharmaceutical plants, food processing plants, wastewater plants and manufacturing plants. Our estimators list surface preparation, coating layers and access needs as separate items. This lets you check each one against the project specification, and it keeps estimates for industrial projects easy to review.
We prepare painting estimates for hospitals, clinics, medical offices and outpatient facilities. Our takeoffs separate corridors, exam rooms and wet areas, and each one is matched to the coating system it needs. We also plan labor around phased work in occupied buildings.
We estimate painting for schools, universities, gymnasiums and dormitories. Our takeoffs measure hallways, stairwells, classrooms and large open areas separately, using durable and scrubbable coating systems. We plan labor around short work windows, such as breaks between terms.
We estimate painting for landmark buildings, brownstones and pre war properties throughout the USA. Our estimators review existing surface conditions first, then price repair, preparation and finish coats as separate lines. This keeps the bid realistic for older plaster, trim and layered paint.
Our Clients Include
Our estimation of painting work takes four steps. You send your plans, agree the scope and price, review the numbers and receive a finished takeoff for bidding, ordering and scheduling. Every step is handled online, so you can send drawings from any state without a site visit.
01
Send your floor plans, elevations, finish schedules and scope notes. Clear drawings help our painting cost estimator measure every surface correctly.
02
We review your drawings and send a quotation for your scope, with the delivery time. Your first estimate is 30% off, so you know the price before work begins.
03
Once you approve the quotation, our estimators prepare the takeoff and share it for your review. If anything needs to change, we update the quantities to match your final scope.
04
You receive a finished painting takeoff with surface areas, coats, paint quantities and preparation listed separately. It is ready for bidding, ordering and labor planning.
Your painting estimate arrives within one to two days, so you can meet bid deadlines.
Walls, ceilings, trim and exterior areas are taken straight from your drawings, so quantities match the job.
Our estimators have worked on interior, exterior, commercial and industrial scopes, so your project type is familiar ground.
We use up to date coverage rates and coating data, so paint quantities and costs reflect today’s materials.
When painting estimates are wrong, the damage seldom stays on paper. A missed surface, an undercounted coat or unpriced prep turns into short paint orders, idle crews and a bid that no longer covers the work. This is why many contractors look for the best painting estimating services in USA before they price a job, so every number is checked before the first coat goes on.
01
An undercounted surface or coat stops the crew until a new order arrives.
02
An overcounted estimate leaves unused cans to store, return or write off.
03
Sanding, patching and priming left out of the bid come straight out of your margin.
04
Wrong labor hours leave painters waiting or push your other jobs back.
05
Rushed coats and skipped prep mean going back to repaint at your own cost.
06
A price set too low wins work that loses money, and one set too high loses the job.

Our paint takeoff service list every paint, stain and coating your project needs, measured by surface and coating system. Our painting cost estimating services then turn those quantities into bid estimates, budget estimates, vendor quotations and change order estimates. You get the material details and the cost figures together, so pricing and ordering start from one clear document.
Painting estimating is the process of measuring the surfaces in a project and working out the paint, preparation and labor needed to finish them. A good estimate lists walls, ceilings, trim, doors and exterior areas separately, with the coats, coverage rates and prep for each. Contractors use it to bid, order material and plan crews.
The price depends on the size of the project, the detail in the drawings, the number of surface types and how fast you need the estimate. A small house costs far less to estimate than a hospital or a plant. Send us your drawings and we will quote a clear price, and your first estimate is 30% off. [add your starting price or price range if you want to publish one]
Most painting estimates take one to several days, depending on the plan size and detail. COMET Estimating typically delivers within 24 to 48 hours, and we confirm the exact date after reviewing your plans. [confirm the 24 to 48 hour promise for painting]
Yes. We prepare painting estimates for homes, apartments, offices, retail spaces, schools, hospitals, warehouses and industrial plants. We also cover repainting, renovation and special coatings, and the scope is priced to match the building type and its surface conditions.
Our painting estimating services cover measured surface areas, paint and coating quantities, surface preparation, labor needs and a cost breakdown. We estimate interior and exterior work for residential, commercial and industrial projects, including repainting and specialty coatings. Each estimate follows your drawings, finish schedules and specifications.
A painting takeoff measures and lists the quantities, such as square feet of walls, linear feet of trim and gallons of paint. A painting estimate takes those quantities and adds material prices, labor and markup to reach a cost. Our painting takeoff services can be ordered alone, or together with a full cost estimate.
Yes. We list preparation as its own line, including cleaning, scraping, sanding, patching, masking and priming where the project calls for them. Preparation is the part of a painting bid that is missed most often, so pricing it separately protects your margin.
Send floor plans, elevations, finish schedules and specifications, plus any notes on surfaces and coatings. If your drawings are not complete, send what you have, including measurements and photos, and we will tell you what can be estimated. A budget estimate from early drawings may need to be revised when the final plans arrive.
We deliver the estimate in Excel and PDF, organized by surface and coating system, so you can check each line and use it in your own bid. Markup plans showing the measured areas can be provided on request.
