You may have this question on your mind, and I will answer the question, in an indirect way. The question bothers me for one specific reason. I believe the question "How to Estimate an Interior Paint Job", is not really the question for all that ask. Now to my mind, there are probably three plausible reasons for asking that question.1) The most obvious reason is actually, how to estimate an interior paint job. As is someone brand new in the field of painting, were to look at the inside of a room or home and say, "Duh, now what do I do?" This house painter has the lack of confidence of the Un-knowing, ready to tackle the unknown, and this is a good thing. This may be a total greenhorn who tried a little painting as a helper, but never actually ran the job managing money, buying paint and hiring and paying helpers or painters. He has the confidence of the Un-knowing, ready to tackle the unknown. This person is probably the easiest to teach estimating to and everything else because this painter is not closed minded. Basically all this painter needs is to show how to measure, use a measuring tool, read the can and do some basic calculations and add for paint. For this painter will learn as things get done. There really is not a whole lot that one can teach a bottom level painter or estimator without some painting experience. I would highly recommend this painter work for someone for a period of time.2) This painter probably knows a little more, but is not an expert, and maybe a little closed minded, and not open to new things.Read more about certapro painters This painter still wants to know, "How to Estimate an Interior Paint Job". This painter is not willing to give up longstanding habits. And although the way for this painter to rise above his problem is to let go of some preconceived ideas. Some things like the processes and techniques are not efficient. I have seen older painters who are very experienced do something over and over without ever examining their work habits. So if this contractor ever asks any questions at all, then the answer may leave the painter feeling threatened. This level of experience is the least capable and the least enjoyable to teach.3) The third painter knows that he is not an expert, and still wants to learn, because to this type of person, doing something the correct way is more important that the ego. This painter has the knowledge to paint, measure, but actually have another reason for asking, "How to Estimate an Interior Paint Job", and this arise out of a lack of understanding in a totally different area. This painter's question may arise because the jobs are losing money. The estimates are correct in their measurements, but one very important area is overlooked, and that is a realistic and objective look at the contractors "Selling Price", it is a very good possibility that this businessman is underselling his own work, and no amount of refining an estimate will correct this problem.4) The problem for each of these painters who is asking "How to Estimate an Interior Paint Job," is best answered with some introspection. For number one, measuring a house is not difficult, very basic geometry will suffice.For more visit certapro painters
