8 min readApril 2026 5.0 Rated

Getting an accurate painting estimate shouldn't be a guessing game. At Hostetter & Son Pro Painting, we provide free, detailed, on-site estimates that break down every aspect of your project — so you know exactly what you're paying for before any work begins. No surprises, no hidden fees, no pressure.

What's Included in Our Free Estimate

  • On-site inspection — We visit your property to assess surface conditions, measure square footage, and identify prep work needed.
  • Detailed written proposal — An itemized breakdown of labor, materials, preparation, and any repairs.

  • Warranty information — Details on our workmanship guarantee and paint manufacturer warranties.

How Painting Costs Are Calculated

Painting costs depend on several factors: total square footage to be painted, number of coats needed, surface condition and prep work required, height and accessibility of surfaces, type and quality of paint selected, and whether special finishes are requested. We factor all of these into your estimate so the price is accurate and complete.
