Uh, this isn't a request for the professionals here to start a bid calculating service, is it? I hate to say it, but I don't think it's what we're here to do...

I don't estimate a job site unseen....Sorry.

Steve, I'm going to recommend to you a couple of books,  one called "Paint Contractor's Handbook" and the other called "Paint Contractor's Manual"...Both very good reference books, both give detailed advice and instruction on all aspects of the painting trade, both available at Amazon...And yes, I own both of them...

Luck to you in your new business...
