Painting

Scope

What fits this trade on Bidmark.

Interior rooms, full exteriors, cabinets, trim, decks, and small commercial repaints. Painting bids swing hard on three line-items — prep, paint system, and a weather contingency — so a sealed window stops painters from price-shopping each other mid-quote and lets you read the spread instead of a quote-sheet puzzle. Every envelope that lands has a state residential contractor’s license on file, GL ≥ $1M, WC for the crew, and a paint-system warranty on body and trim. Posting a scope that fits the sealed-envelope model — work that can be photographed, line-itemed, and bid head-to-head against other licensed contractors in your state — is the fastest path to a competitive bid ledger.

• Credential gate: every bidder clears a one-time license check and carries active general liability at the moment your window closes.
• Fee tier: the same tiered fee schedule applies to painting as to every other trade — your envelope cost scales to your scope.
• Sealed window: every bidder parties to the same scope and the same close time, so the envelope you open is a real head-to-head price, not a last-minute undercut.
