<\/a><\/p>\nThe painting industry has had to make many changes due to situations caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Both the suppliers and the buyers (such as painting companies), have had to make difficult choices. In short, supply chain issues and raw material constraints coupled with increased demand during the COVID-19 pandemic have put paint in short supply and\u200c driven up prices. These supply issues have especially hit blue paint. If you\u2019re dying for a blue hue, you may be put on a waitlist. If you\u2019re painting an especially large area or need line striping done, you may also have difficulty getting the paint you desire.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, there is no concrete answer for when these high prices will deflate, or when the shortage of paint colors won\u2019t be an issue. However, we assure you that CertaPro Painters\u00ae are keeping a keen eye out for any opportunities.<\/p>\n
What Goes Into Your Estimate<\/h2>\n
Even without these rising costs in mind, there are multiple elements that go into the estimation process. Your prospective painting company will need a solid idea of what is involved in the project. Here are a few of the factors that will influence your overall price:<\/p>\n
Size of the Project:<\/h3>\n
Size is one of the biggest influences of price. The bigger the project, the bigger the budget will need to be. It is no secret that houses that are two or more stories will be more expensive than single-story homes, for example.<\/p>\n
Square feet isn\u2019t the only influencer of your price, though. The height of the home and number of unique home elements also come into play. The price will also change greatly depending on if you are looking to get the entire exterior of your home painted or just trim and highlights. The national average price for the exterior walls of your home is about $3 or $4 dollars (this may vary significantly depending on other factors). Interior paint, though, will cost much less.<\/p>\n
Cost of Labor and Materials:<\/h3>\n
Another major factor that goes into the cost of a paint project is the materials required to complete the job. Materials such as scaffolds are fairly costly for the painting company to keep on hand for your project.<\/p>\n
Keep in mind that your painting company has to pay the workers that come to your house and put in the work. Depending on labor costs at the time of the estimate, this could cause fluctuation in and of itself.<\/p>\n
Price of Knowledge and Expertise:<\/h3>\n
It is easy to forget that when you pay for a painting company to paint your home, you\u2019re also paying for the knowledge they have obtained over the years of experience in business. You can see this through the higher cost quality painters with great reputations. The biggest mistake people hiring professional painters make is to accept the lowest quoted price. This often leads to subpar work that will deteriorate faster than a more expensive company. You may be seeing additional charges if your paint company has to travel a long distance to get to your home or if you give your painters little notice.<\/p>\n
