2012 NATIONAL PAINTING COST ESTIMATOR - by Dennis D. Gleason, CPE
Cost Estimates and Bid Prices for Surface Prep and Painting on Any Job - Brush,
Roll or Spray
This is the most complete, authoritative and reliable unit cost guide ever made
available to paint estimators.
No matter what types of work you estimate, no matter what your costs are, this
book will help you produce consistently reliable painting estimates in dollars
and cents.
The most accurate paint estimates are always custom-made for a particular job.
That's because no single material cost, no man hour estimate, no pricing system
fits all work and all bidders. Your estimates have to be based on your
actual productivity rate, your material costs, labor costs, overhead
percentage and profit expectations.
Here you have accurate estimates for coating any common surface with any type of
paint, whether application is by brush, spray, roller or mitt:
This book isn't a substitute for judgment. It's not a simple way to do in
minutes what an experienced paint estimator might not be able to do in hours.
But this book is the best guide you'll ever find if you have to estimate any
type of painting, whether residential, industrial, commercial or institutional.
Dennis D. Gleason brings 15 years of painting business experience to this
manual, having worked as a painter, field superintendent, estimator, contract
administrator, project manager and director of marketing. After earning the
title Certified Professional Estimator from the ASPE (American Society of
Professional Estimators), he taught estimating for the Associated Builders &
Contractors and lectured at San Diego State University, where he earned his
degree.
