Painting Estimates in Square Feet, Gallons and Hours
Painting quotes depend on area, prep and materials. VoiceBid supports the units painters actually use — square feet, gallons, sheets and hours — and keeps your rates ready for the next customer.
Free for 30 days. No credit card required to get started.
What you can estimate
- Walls and ceilings priced by the square foot
- Paint, primer and caulk by the gallon or tube
- Drywall sheets, tape and patching
- Masking, prep and cleanup as line items
- Trim, doors and cabinets
- Labor by the hour or by the room
Say it the way you talk
Examples of phrases you could dictate on the job:
- “400 square feet of interior painting”
- “Three gallons of primer”
- “Two sheets of drywall”
- “Ten hours of painting labor”
Painters and drywallers get a built-in trade vocabulary for terms like drywall, tape, caulking and paint, helping correct common misheard words. Imperial and metric units are both recognized.
How painters use it
- 1
Measure, then say it
Call out areas and materials as you measure. Units such as sq ft and gal are recognized.
- 2
Reuse your rates
Your price per square foot and per gallon is saved and matched to the same unit on later estimates.
- 3
Quote, invoice, get paid
Send a PDF estimate, then invoice in stages — a deposit up front and the balance at completion.
VoiceBid does not measure rooms or calculate coverage for you; you enter the quantities and your own rates.
