Quote for Jacqueline Winters
Job address: 4065 Coralbury St, Brightbrook
From: Jason Atkins, Deerbury Painting, 206-555-0178
Hi Jacqueline, thank you for having us out. Here is the quote for your interior painting, with the square footage math shown so you can see how we got each number.
Room by room
Living room (18 x 14, 9 ft ceilings)
- Walls: (18 + 14) x 2 x 9 = 576 sq ft, minus 45 for the slider and windows = 531 sq ft x $1.60 = $849.60
- Ceiling: 18 x 14 = 252 sq ft x $1.20 = $302.40
Hall (12 x 4, 9 ft ceilings)
- Walls: (12 + 4) x 2 x 9 = 288 sq ft x $1.60 = $460.80
Bedroom (12 x 11, 8 ft ceilings)
- Walls: (12 + 11) x 2 x 8 = 368 sq ft, minus 30 for the window and closet door = 338 sq ft x $1.60 = $540.80
Interior doors
- 6 doors, both sides, x $45 = $270.00
Safety concern, recommended now
- Scrape and prime the loose peeling spot by the living room slider, which we flagged as a safety concern: $60.00
- We have not tested the age or makeup of this paint. Please confirm testing and any legal requirements locally with a licensed professional before we scrape it.
Subtotal: $60.00

Prices include paint and two coats. No tax is charged. This quote is good for 30 days. We recommend taking care of the items in the first two groups with the rest of the job, and if you would like to approve only certain parts, tell us and we will send a revised total. Any item you decide to decline will be noted as your decision.
Call or text Jason at 206-555-0178 with any questions.
Questions for the owner
- The water stain was still damp. Do you want to note the cause (for example a roof or plumbing leak) in the quote, or have a licensed professional check the source before we patch it?
- What start date should we offer Jacqueline?
- Do you want the quote to wait on the licensed professional's testing of the peeling spot before we scrape it?
What it does
Takes the painter's room measurements and rates, works out the paintable square footage for each surface, and builds a clear written quote the customer can approve in full or in part.
Use it when: Use when a painter needs to turn room measurements, wall and ceiling square footage, or a job walkthrough into a written painting quote, such as "quote this house," "price this repaint," or "work out the square footage and give me a quote."
