For General Contractors, Painting Contractors & Subcontractors
Projects in the Upper East Side, the Lower East Side, and across New York County move quickly, and so does our team. We provide painting estimating services in Manhattan, NY, giving painting contractors, coatings applicators, and general contractors itemized painting takeoffs and cost estimates in 24 to 72 hours without adding estimating staff.
Contractors lose thousands of dollars every year to estimation errors, missed scope items, and wasted time. Here's exactly what we fix.
Our estimating team supports a wide variety of construction projects.
Our Painting Estimating Services provide contractors with detailed surface measurements, material calculations, labor estimates, and organized cost reports prepared directly from project drawings and finish schedules.
Detailed, itemized takeoff reports with quantities, costs and clear breakdown of flowing materials. Here's a preview of that.
Every report includes color-coded marked plans, itemized quantity sheets, and a full cost summary — delivered in Excel and PDF formats, ready to attach directly to your bid submission.
For Manhattan projects, we quantify pavement and traffic markings, surface preparation, interior wall and ceiling paint, primers and sealers, trim, doors, and frames, exterior elastomeric coatings, stucco and masonry coatings, epoxy floor coatings, intumescent fireproofing paint, and high-performance industrial coatings. Coastal coating systems are quantified by coat. Preparation, including lead-safe work, is separated. Painting quantities are organized in Excel by area and system, with waste factors and units clearly stated.

In Manhattan, logistics are often the biggest cost: delivery windows, crane and hoist time, sidewalk sheds, and occupied-building work all need their own line items. For painting contractors, coatings applicators, and general contractors, that makes accurate painting quantities on office-to-residential conversions and similar projects essential to winning work at a profit.
Coastal Manhattan exteriors need durable coating systems, and our takeoffs list preparation, primer, and finish coats separately. Painting older local buildings often involves lead-safe work practices, extensive preparation, and historic colors.
Code requirements change quantities, so our painting estimators review every Manhattan drawing set against the NYC Construction Codes, paying attention to VOC limits, fire-rated coatings, and lead-safe work practices. New York City costs such as DOB NOW filings, sidewalk sheds, hoisting, and Local Law 97 upgrades are called out separately when they apply. The takeoff is built in PlanSwift, Bluebeam Revu, and On-Screen Takeoff and delivered as an Excel workbook with color-coded, marked-up plans.
Contractors in Manhattan use us when bid volume outpaces their in-house team, and so do firms in neighborhoods such as the Financial District and Chelsea. You get a dedicated point of contact, a 24 to 72 hour turnaround, and painting numbers you can defend at bid review. City-funded work in the five boroughs is priced at the NYC Comptroller's prevailing wage schedules, and much private work here is built with union crews. Your painting estimate can be built on union, prevailing, or open-shop labor, whichever the bid requires. Get a fixed quote for your next Manhattan bid within about an hour.
