Nationwide Coverage
Painting looks like the simplest trade to estimate until the coverage numbers don't hold up. A gallon of primer spreads differently across drywall, concrete, and metal, while a two-coat epoxy system can require significantly more material and labor than a standard interior paint application. Applying one flat coverage rate across every substrate can leave a contractor short on gallons, labor hours, or both.
At All State Estimation , our painting takeoff services calculate coverage according to substrate, coating type, and required coat count using project specifications and manufacturer data rather than relying on assumed averages. This gives painting contractors a clearer picture of material quantities and labor requirements before submitting a bid, helping protect margins once the project moves into production.
No rough summaries - every painting estimate comes formatted the way your bid package requires.
Trade-specific takeoffs built around how each client actually bids work.
Expert painting estimates tailored to every project, specification, and surface.
Single-family homes, additions, renovations, and multi-family units, where finish level and substrate mix swing cost fast.
Offices, retail spaces, hotels, and multi-family developments, with tighter finish and durability specs than residential work.
Warehouses, plants, and facilities needing protective and specialty coatings built for durability over appearance.
Schools, healthcare facilities, and government buildings, where coating systems must meet strict code and maintenance standards.
Hotels and restaurants, where finish quality shapes the guest experience day to day.
From early planning to final pricing, we provide the right level of estimating detail for every stage of your project.
Prepared during the earliest planning stages, conceptual estimates provide a rough order-of-magnitude cost based on limited project information. They help owners, developers, and contractors evaluate project feasibility, establish initial budgets, and make informed decisions before design work begins.
Using partial drawings, finish schedules, or early design documents, we develop preliminary budget estimates that provide realistic cost expectations. These estimates support budgeting, planning, financing, and design decisions while the project scope continues to evolve.
As architectural drawings and specifications become more detailed, we refine material quantities, labor hours, and pricing accordingly. Design development estimates help monitor budget changes, compare design options, and maintain cost control before final construction documents are issued.
Built from complete construction drawings and project specifications, our bid estimates include detailed painting takeoffs, material costs, labor pricing, equipment requirements, and supporting documentation. The result is a comprehensive, bid-ready estimate prepared for competitive tender submissions.
We evaluate alternative coating systems, application methods, and material options to identify practical cost-saving opportunities. Our value engineering estimates help reduce project costs while maintaining performance, durability, appearance, and compliance with project specifications and quality requirements.
When project scope changes, we quickly prepare detailed change order estimates that isolate added or removed work. Each estimate clearly identifies revised quantities, labor, materials, and associated costs, helping contractors negotiate changes with confidence and complete transparency.

View Painting Estimate SampleFrom the moment you send your drawings to the delivery of your final estimate, every step is designed to maximize accuracy, efficiency, and confidence.
Upload your architectural drawings, finish schedules, specifications, or bid documents through our secure portal or email. Once received, our team reviews the files, confirms the project scope, and begins preparing your painting estimate without unnecessary delays.
Before performing any measurements, we carefully analyze your drawings and project specifications. We identify coating systems, surface preparation requirements, substrate types, primer and finish coats, and any special painting requirements to ensure nothing is overlooked.
Using industry-leading software such as PlanSwift, Bluebeam Revu, and On-Screen Takeoff, we accurately measure walls, ceilings, trim, doors, windows, and other paintable surfaces directly from your digital plans for precise quantity calculations.
Measured quantities are converted into detailed material, labor, equipment, and production costs using current market pricing and regional labor rates. Every estimate reflects your project's location, scope, specifications, and coating requirements for realistic bid pricing.
Before delivery, every estimate undergoes a comprehensive quality control review by a senior painting estimator. Drawings, specifications, quantities, and pricing are cross-checked to verify accuracy, eliminate discrepancies, and ensure complete consistency throughout the estimate.
Receive your completed painting estimate in Excel, PDF, or your preferred estimating format. The report includes organized quantity takeoffs, material calculations, labor pricing, exclusions, assumptions, and bid-ready documentation so you can submit proposals with confidence.
Our painting estimators have priced bids for general contractors, subcontractors, and painting companies across residential and commercial markets, so we know how crews sequence a job, where coverage assumptions go wrong, and how substrate and coat count shift labor hours surface to surface.
Every plan set gets reviewed the way a project manager would - surfaces checked against the finish schedule, specialty coatings priced to PDCA architectural specification standards, and rated systems priced separately rather than lumped in. A second estimator verifies each takeoff before it goes out.
That's why most of our clients aren't one-time quotes - they send us every bid they pursue. Happy to walk you through a sample takeoff first.
Every painting estimate reflects real industry standards, not just a well-formatted guess.
Painting and Decorating Contractors Association guidance shapes the application methods, coat requirements, and finish-quality benchmarks our estimators reference.
Keeps every takeoff organized by division, dropping straight into your existing bid structure.
Coverage rates for primers, coatings, and specialty finishes are pulled from current manufacturer data sheets, not assumed averages.
Every takeoff breaks a project down by surface and substrate, not a single average rate applied across the whole job.
