Does this painting estimate template include prep work?

Yes — prep (scraping, patching, taping) is its own line, since it’s real time on most jobs and shouldn’t get buried inside the paint or labor number.

Can I bill labor by the room instead of by the hour?

Yes — the labor line defaults to per-hour, but you can change the unit and price to a flat per-room or per-job rate.

Yes — convert the accepted estimate into an invoice in one step, or start directly from the painting invoice template.
