Planning & EstimatingPregunta 75 de 100
When estimating exterior siding area, why do many painters NOT deduct small openings like windows and doors?
a.The extra paint and labor for cutting in around openings roughly offsets the deducted area, and it adds a safety margin
b.Openings do not exist on exteriors
c.It is illegal to deduct openings
d.Paint is free so it does not matter
Explicación
Cutting in and detailing around windows and doors takes extra labor and paint, so many estimators leave small openings in the gross area rather than deducting them. This offsets the added work and provides a margin against running short. Very large openings, like garage doors, are typically deducted.
