    Exterior paint bids
    I am starting my own business doing interior and exterior painting. In the past I have always done an hourly rate. Times have changed and the cost to complete a job is much higher than before. My question is... how do I formulate a bid for exterior/interior paint jobs? Do you use a square footage formula etc... Any information would be appreciated!
