A painting estimate template puts prep work on the page where it gets paid for, prices surfaces from real measurements, and names the products — the three things that separate professional painting estimates from per-room guesses.

What to Include
- Prep itemized separately — patching, sanding, priming
- Surface areas measured, with coats and sheen stated
- Product line named (“two coats SW Duration, eggshell”)
- Exclusions: wallpaper removal, major repairs, lead-safe work
- Color-change and weather conditions
Recommended Terms
State that color changes after the second coat begins are change orders, exterior scheduling is weather-dependent, and pricing assumes surfaces as seen at walkthrough — concealed conditions behind furniture or wallpaper are re-priced before proceeding.
