As the capital, Albany's work is led by state-agency projects, Albany NanoTech semiconductor research, and medical and university campuses, much of it publicly bid with prevailing wages. Our painting estimators work with painting contractors, coatings applicators, and general contractors across Albany, pricing jobs tied to State of New York office modernization, Albany NanoTech and semiconductor research, and Albany Medical Center expansion.
Painting older Albany buildings often involves lead-safe work practices, extensive preparation, and historic colors. We separate preparation from coating. Exterior painting in the area has to fit warm-weather windows, so we turn takeoffs around quickly.
Each takeoff is built in PlanSwift, Bluebeam Revu, and On-Screen Takeoff from your current plan set and checked against the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code, including VOC limits, fire-rated coatings, and lead-safe work practices. Painting quantities are organized by area, floor, and system to match how Albany contractors actually bid.
Remote Estimation has prepared estimates on more than 5,000 projects for 500+ contractors, and that experience goes into every Albany painting bid we touch. We can price painting labor at union, prevailing-wage, or open-shop rates. Prevailing wage rates for public work in New York State come from the Department of Labor, organized by county and trade. Your first painting estimate is 10% off.
Our Albany service area includes Downtown Albany, the Empire State Plaza area, and Center Square, plus neighboring communities such as Schenectady, Troy, Colonie, Guilderland, Bethlehem, and Rensselaer.
