Painting a dryfall Ceiling

Simple

I just starting getting into commercial painting. I keep coming across bids that have exposed ceilings. How much should I charge to apply one coat of dryfall to the exposed ceiling? And how much does the height of the ceiling make the price vary?

Find the Sq. ft. divid by covrage rate. multiply that number by the cost of the dryfall. multiply Sq Ft. by hours. One guy can spray @ 400 Sq. Ft. pr. hr. add them together add 10 % to that number is your sub total. Then add 15% at the minmum and 30% at the max. this precentage is your profit. If you send me an email I will send you back a spread sheet to do all this for you. I will need th dryfall price from you that you will be using. Also the pay rate. I hope this helps. I estimate about 1 mill Sq Ft. of paint a month.Have a great day.
