BID THE WHOLE HOUSE, SIDE BY SIDE.
WHY THIS ONE
- Everything in one file: side by side measurements, gallons by siding type, labor by story height, wash + scrape prep, windows, doors + trim. No add-ons to buy.
- Built for real use: gray cells are the only place you type, and formulas are protected so nothing breaks.
- A Start Here tab walks you through setup in minutes.
- Buy once: no subscription, no app, no monthly fee.
An exterior painting estimator for painting contractors: measure each side once, get the gallons and the price. One payment, no monthly fee.
WHAT IT DOES
- One row per side (or porch, garage, addition): length, stories, gable/extra square feet, siding type, windows, doors, prep level.
- Net square feet with windows and doors taken out.
- Gallons of body paint by siding type (lap, vinyl, stucco, brick, shake, board and batten) and coats; trim paint; spot primer on medium/heavy prep, or full primer on a color change; caulk tubes.
- Labor at your price per sq ft with 2- and 3-story multipliers and siding labor factors; windows, doors and trim priced each.
- Prep: pressure wash and scrape/sand by prep level; lift rental days; setup; minimum job price; material markup.
- PRICE and price per wall square foot.
- Client Proposal page: your logo, scope with quantities (never your costs), total price, deposit, terms and signatures.
- Gray cells are inputs; formulas are protected so a stray tap cannot break them.
- A Start Here tab with step-by-step instructions.
WHAT THIS IS NOT (no surprises)
- Not a lead-paint (RRP) compliance tool.
- Not for decks, fences or roofs.
- Not an interior estimator (see our Interior Painting Estimator).
