Q: How expensive is decorative painting?
A: Depending on the project there may not be a lot of overhead. A very large project can take a short time and a very small project can take a long time, depending on the content and detail.
If a project takes a long time sometimes I will work out a day rate with the client, so it can fit into their budget. Or I figure out the material cost, estimate how many days the project will take and get the client a set price, because some people want to know exactly what is going to cost.
If a project that is very visible where it can lead to more potential clients I would be more inclined to negotiate a price (ei Restaurant, public building, outside public work).
I would like to think of myself as a very reasonable priced painter. I have never, to my knowledge, lost a job for being over priced.
