What to put on a painter quote
Quote coats and paint grade
Two coats of a premium paint and one coat of a budget one are different jobs. Writing both on the quote is the easiest way to explain why yours isn't the cheapest.
Exclusions save arguments
Moving furniture, crack repairs, high ceilings, lead paint: say what isn't included. Customers remember the total, not the conversation.
Confirm colours in writing
Note that colours are confirmed before you start. A repaint because of a colour mix-up comes out of your pocket.
The starting lines are examples with no prices: add your own rates. Rules checked October 2026; they can change, so check your state's regulator for anything that matters.
Doing this every week?
Job management apps send quotes from your phone, turn them into invoices, chase late payers and sync with Xero or MYOB. See what ServiceM8, Tradify and Fergus would cost for your team.
Rather hand the admin to someone?
Tell us what's eating your evenings (quotes, invoices, chasing payments, the BAS) and we'll match you with a bookkeeper or admin assistant who works with trades. Free to ask, no obligation.
Common questions
Should I quote per room or per square metre?
Square metres are fairer and make changes easy to price; rooms are easier for home owners to read. Pick one and use it on the invoice too.
How long should a painting quote be valid?
Thirty days is common. Shorten it before price rises or in your busy season.
Can I turn it into an invoice?
Yes: one tap when the job's done, and the lines carry across.
