Free painting quote template

Free painting quote template

An Australian painting quote template that itemises prep work, paint coverage, and finishing coats separately, because prep is where painters most often lose margin when customers don't see it costed. The document supports both quoting styles Australian painters actually use: room-by-room for domestic repaints (“Kitchen: walls, ceiling, trims, two coats”) and per-square-metre for larger or commercial work. There's a dedicated paint spec section for brand, colour code, sheen level, and number of coats. Customers ask, and having it on the quote prevents disputes later. Exterior work gets its own lines for weatherboards, render, fascias, and pressure washing, plus a GST summary with a GST-inclusive total, and space for your ABN and licence number where your state requires one. Available in Word, PDF, and Google Docs.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Does the template handle prep work line items?

Yes. Prep is the most common reason painters lose margin, so the template itemises washing, filling, sanding, caulking, stain-blocking as separate lines. Customers see the value.

Can I quote per-room or per-m²?

Both are supported. Use room-by-room for domestic jobs ('Kitchen: walls, ceiling, trims'). Use per-m² for larger projects where area is the simpler unit.

Does it have space for paint specifications?

Yes. A section for paint brand, colour code, sheen level, and number of coats. Customers often ask, having it on the quote prevents disputes later.

What about exterior work?

Dedicated lines for exterior painting, weatherboards, render, fascias and eaves, pressure washing, and access equipment where the job needs it.

Is the template editable in Google Docs?

Yes. Save a copy to your Drive, customise the layout, and reuse it for every customer. The Word version is fully editable too.

How does QuickPrice compare?

Templates are a good starting point, but QuickPrice prices paint, coats, and prep automatically from your room description, at current Australian trade prices with your local labour rate, adds GST, in under a minute.
