A room-by-room interior repaint with wall, ceiling, trim, preparation, and cleanup scope.
Starter prices are left blank so you can quote accurately for your market and job conditions.
Describe the project type (interior, exterior, or both), number of rooms or exterior surfaces, and the overall scope. Mention the property address and any special considerations (lead paint, high ceilings, occupied spaces).
Break down by room or surface. For interior: walls, ceilings, trim, doors, cabinets — specify rooms, square footage, and number of coats. For exterior: siding material, stories, trim, doors, shutters, deck/fence. Note what's included in prep: patching, sanding, caulking, taping, priming.
Specify brand (Sherwin-Williams, Benjamin Moore, etc.), product line, finish (flat, eggshell, satin, semi-gloss), and colors if selected. Clients trust contractors who name specific products — it signals expertise and accountability.
Line items: prep work (per room or per hour), paint application (per room or per sq ft), trim (per linear ft or per door), materials markup, specialty work (accent walls, cabinet refinishing). Show subtotal, tax, total.
This is where professionals differentiate from amateurs. Detail: power washing (exterior), scraping and sanding, caulking gaps and cracks, patching holes and dents, priming bare/stained surfaces, masking and protection (floors, fixtures, landscaping).
Day-by-day or phase-by-phase: prep, priming, first coat, second coat, trim, cleanup. Include estimated start date, duration, and working hours. For occupied homes, note how you'll minimize disruption.

Precision Painting Co. is delighted to present this proposal for a complete interior repaint of the Thompson residence. This project covers seven rooms including walls, ceilings, all interior trim, and twelve doors — using premium Benjamin Moore Regal Select products throughout for a durable, beautiful finish.
Our crew will begin with comprehensive surface preparation across all seven rooms: living room, dining room, kitchen, master bedroom, two guest bedrooms, and the hallway. This includes patching all nail holes, repairing minor drywall cracks in the hallway, sanding and priming all trim surfaces, and caulking window casings for a seamless finished look.
Wall painting will be completed in two full coats of Benjamin Moore Regal Select in Revere Pewter (HC-172), with an eggshell finish for easy cleaning and a subtle sheen. The master bedroom accent wall will receive Hale Navy (HC-154) for a dramatic focal point. Kitchen and hallway ceilings will be refreshed with two coats of ceiling-flat white.
All baseboards, crown molding, window casings, and twelve interior doors will be sanded, primed, and finished in Simply White (OC-117) with a semi-gloss finish for durability and easy wipe-down. Each door will be painted on both sides with careful attention to edges and panels.
We protect all floors, furniture, and fixtures with drop cloths and plastic sheeting throughout the project. All rooms are left clean and move-in ready at the end of each work day.
