Our Story
Painting Takeoff & Estimating Built for Jersey City Contractors
Jersey City is home base for Remote Estimation — our office is on Wayne Street — so we know how Hudson County podium towers, tight Downtown laydown space, and flood-zone requirements change a bid. For painting contractors, coatings applicators, and general contractors, that makes accurate painting quantities on Journal Square and waterfront high-rises and similar projects essential to winning work at a profit.
Jersey City's older buildings require scraping, patching, and lead-safe practices, and our takeoffs separate preparation. Coastal local exteriors need durable coating systems, and our takeoffs list preparation, primer, and finish coats separately.
Our painting estimators use PlanSwift, Bluebeam Revu, and On-Screen Takeoff to build each Jersey City takeoff, and they read the drawings with the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code (UCC) in mind, including VOC limits, fire-rated coatings, and lead-safe work practices. You receive an Excel workbook and marked-up PDFs, so every painting number can be checked.
Contractors in Jersey City use us when bid volume outpaces their in-house team, and so do firms in nearby Bayonne and Weehawken. You get a dedicated point of contact, a 24 to 72 hour turnaround, and painting numbers you can defend at bid review. Labor assumptions for the painting scope are yours to choose: union, prevailing wage, or open shop. Public jobs in New Jersey follow the state Prevailing Wage Act, and redevelopment projects that receive public assistance often do too.
