Exterior
Painting estimate follow-ups
Twenty examples for a exterior paint, using $6,450 as a made-up price. Ten are the schedule. Ten are for a date, a smaller job, approval, or a later check-back. Paint estimates stall on color and on whether the prep feels worth it compared with a cheaper spray bid.
Names, prices, and companies on this page are examples.
Where this bid stalls
Paint estimates stall on color and on whether the prep feels worth it compared with a cheaper spray bid. Color is often a two-person decision even when one person met you at the house.
What the example price means
The gap between paint bids is usually hours of prep, not the gallons. Included: scrape, prime, and two coats on the siding, trim, and the garage door walked that day. Left out: the detached shed, which was not part of the walk. Do not cut the price by quietly skipping the primer.
When to send them
Exterior paint needs a dry stretch. Name the weeks you can actually start, and do not promise a date in a wet month. The default schedule is still day 2, day 5, and day 10. Day 10 is the last email. Same-day notes are optional. The customer sees your business name and the address followups@quotelasso.com. A reply comes to your inbox and the remaining follow-ups stop.
