    Painting Estimate
    Hey Everyone:

    I'm trying out new estimating software. Let me know what you guys calculate:

    Room:(12x13X8)
    12 x 13
    8 ft High

    SQ FT: 400
    Base board: Linear FT: 50
    Ceiling: 156 SQ Ft

    1 Door & Frame
    2 Windows

    2 coats for eveything.

    What would you guys typically charge for a room like this?
    # of hours?
    $ of materials?
    Gallons of Paint?

    I need to customize this estimating software. I bought it because it would be easier to give out estimates. It's hard for me to go out and give out estimates when I'm at a clients house working. So I thought if I bought a software my wife can go down to their house and take measurements then input them in the software and just check in with me. But I will need to customize it because it shouldn't take 11 hrs for one room!
