Below are some of the most frequently asked questions about our finishing takeoff and estimation services:

1. What are your standard charges for finishing takeoffs?

We don’t have a one-size-fits-all pricing model. Once we receive the project details from the contractor or client, we schedule a consultation to understand the scope fully. Based on that, we provide a custom quote, typically a small percentage of your total budget. Our goal is to provide cost-effective estimation services that deliver exceptional value and help you secure more bids.

2. Do you offer monthly packages for finishing contractors?

Yes! If you’re handling regular takeoff tasks on your own, our monthly packages can save you both time and money. With these plans, there’s no need to hire a full-time estimator—we’ll take care of it for you.

3. What takeoff services do you provide for painting contractors?

We calculate precise quantities for all finishes and coatings based on your specs. This includes drywall and partitions, decorative and specialty coatings, direct-to-metal finishes (DTM), and glazed coatings. Everything is organized by line item for clarity.

4. What's your average turnaround time for finishing estimates?

Our standard delivery time is between 24 and 48 hours, depending on the project size and complexity.

5. How do you calculate pricing for finishing takeoffs?

We utilize up-to-date cost data from reputable sources, such as RSMeans, based on the project’s zip code. We also factor in pricing from trusted vendors and suppliers with whom we regularly work, ensuring you receive accurate and location-specific estimates.
