Fast bids for a high-volume, prep-driven trade
How painting work actually works
Prep work drives cost more than square footage
Surface condition changes the labor estimate more than the size of the room or exterior.
Color and finish selection is part of the sale
Clients want to see and choose before they commit, not just get a number.
Job volume is high, ticket size is often smaller
Bid turnaround speed matters when you're quoting many jobs a week, not a few a month.
