What Should a Painting Estimate Include?

If you’re calling around thinking, “Find me a great painter in Sacramento County,” start with the estimate. A professional quote should clearly list what’s being painted (walls, ceilings, trim, doors, exterior siding or stucco), what prep is included, and what repairs are covered (like small drywall holes or minor stucco damage). It should also explain how many coats are planned, how your floors and furniture will be protected, and what cleanup looks like at the end of each day.

ALB Painting keeps pricing straightforward and takes time to walk you through the scope so you know exactly what you’re getting—before work starts. Want help comparing bids? Ask us what to look for.
