PAINTERS
We have your next painting project bid template — download the PDF + Excel here.
Bid, estimate, or quote — same pack. Enter your email — we send both files.
Email me the Painter bid pack
We’ll send both the PDF and the Excel — one pack for painters.
Email only — that’s how we deliver the files.
You’re on the list
We’ll email download links for the PDF and Excel to that address. Give it a few minutes, and check spam / promotions if you don’t see it.
These templates are free to use inside the DIRT app when you send bids to clients for jobs — and you can create your own bid templates to reuse on the next one.
What’s in the painter bid / estimate / quote pack
We call it a bid. Your customer might say estimate or quote. Same document. This free painting estimate template (also a contractor quote template) is a scoped pack for how painters actually price work — includes, excludes, permit notes, and line items with units. Rates stay blank so you fill what your market pays.
Jobs covered
- Interior repaint
- Exterior repaint
- Cabinet painting
- Drywall repair + paint
PDF and Excel — same pack
Every job above lives in one Excel workbook (a sheet per job) and one matching PDF. Paste your logo, fill qty and rate, and you’ve got a bid, estimate, or quote you can send or print. No hunting for five different downloads.
How to use it on the job
- Open the Excel, drop your logo in the header, and fill company / license / client fields.
- Pick the job sheet that matches the work. Edit includes/excludes if this house is different.
- Enter your local rates. Amount columns calculate.
- Save as PDF when you need a clean estimate for the customer — or send the quote from DIRT once you use the same structure in-app.
Why the scope matters
Cheap bids leave out drywall, permits, utility fees, and change-order traps. These templates call those out up front so you’re not eating margin on a “simple” job that wasn’t simple. Structure first. Dollars second.
Free in DIRT too
The same template approach is built to land inside DIRT — send bids (or quotes / estimates) to clients from the job, reuse your own templates, and stop rebuilding line items from scratch. Solo is free to start.
FAQ
Is a painter bid the same as an estimate or quote?
On the job, yes — contractors use bid, estimate, and quote for the same thing: a written price for the work before you start. This painting pack is built as a bid / estimate / quote template. Same Excel and PDF either way.
What’s in the free painter estimate template?
One Excel workbook (a sheet per primary job) and one matching PDF. Includes, excludes, permit notes, and blank rate lines — not a national price book. Paste your logo, fill qty and rate, send the quote.
Do I get PDF and Excel?
Yes. Enter your email and we send both. Excel for editing and logos; PDF for a clean file you can print or attach. Same scope in both.
Can I use this as a contractor quote template for painters?
That’s the point. Fill company and client fields, pick the job sheet, enter your local rates, and you’ve got a contractor quote / estimate you can send. Structure first — your dollars second.
Are rates filled in?
No. Amounts stay blank so you put what your market pays. Templates are scope and line-item structure — not a price list.
Is this free to use in DIRT?
Yes. The same template approach is built to land inside DIRT — send bids from the job, reuse your own templates, stop rebuilding line items. Solo is free to start.
