Preparation such as scraping, sanding, patching, and cleaning varies widely with the condition of the surface and can equal or exceed the painting time. Estimating it separately produces a realistic bid and protects the contractor's margin. Underestimating prep is a leading cause of unprofitable paint jobs.
