Why Do Painting Estimates Vary So Much?

If you've ever received two or three painting estimates and wondered why the prices were thousands of dollars apart, you're not alone.

Many homeowners compare the bottom-line price without looking closely at what is included. One of the biggest differences between painting estimates is often something you can't immediately see: the preparation completed before the first coat of paint is applied.

Professional preparation may include pressure washing, repairs, sanding, caulking, and priming. These steps help create a longer-lasting finish, especially in South Florida's climate.

Before choosing a contractor, ask:
✔️ What preparation is included?
✔️ What surfaces are included?
✔️ How will my property be protected?
