Hey Everyone, When using Zinsser B-I-N primer to go over trim previously painted with oil-based paint, how many coats of the primer are required? Thanks and have a great day! Vince

Hi Guys, Our Sherwin-Williams sales rep contacted us with the dreaded news...... prices are increasing in September. By how much? 7%–8%. What are we doing now? Stocking up..... We are going to place an order for 10–20 gallons of ceiling paint, trim paint, and maybe some wall paint. If you are going to be buying a lot of paint over the next few months, now may be a good time to stock up on the paints you use a lot. Also, here is last week's episode on the best trucks for painting contractors. At 39 minutes in @Travis Dixon, @Todd Plahs, @James Biernat are all mentioned.

Hello. I have a request to give an estimate to paint a 1900 sq ft interior of a house (2 story). Some wall need priming for nasty stuff. (It’s a rental). Ceilings, walls, trim, doors basically everything to paint. How much and how long for 1 person to paint? Thanks.

So. This is a rental property I was asked to bid. Paint the whole interior of the house. Prime and paint stained wainscot and crown in family room and fix and paint the rest of the house. It’s very dirty too. Too many pictures needed to show what a mess.

Hey guys, Jeremy tells you his entire estimating process in this episode. Lots of tricks and tips you can use immediately here. He gets more jobs accepted than me at higher prices. Enjoy
