This proposal covers a full interior repaint of the residence at {{client_address}} — approximately {{home_sqft}} sq ft.

Color palette

• Walls: {{wall_color}}

• Trim and doors: {{trim_color}}

• Ceilings: {{ceiling_spec}}

Prep

• Mask floors with plastic and canvas drop cloths

• Mask windows, cabinets, and fixtures with plastic and tape

• Remove or tape outlet covers, switch plates, and light fixture trim

• Full primer if going from dark to light color, or dark accent wall coverage

Paint application

• Two coats on walls (roller + brush cut-in)

• Two coats on ceilings

• Two coats on trim and doors (brush + mini-roller)

• Closet interiors included

• Garage interior NOT included unless itemized

Closeout

• Reinstall outlet covers and switch plates

• Final touch-up walkthrough with {{client_name}}

• Leftover paint labeled and left for {{client_name}}'s touch-up use

Estimated duration: 3–7 working days depending on home size, prep complexity, and coat dry times.

• **Day 1:** Prep, masking, drywall patch

• **Days 2–3:** Primer and first coat

• **Days 4–5:** Second coat walls and ceilings

• **Days 6–7:** Trim and doors, final touch-up

Start date: {{start_date}}.

Total contract price: {{total}}

• **Deposit: {{deposit}}** — signing

• **Balance: remainder** — at completion and walkthrough

Balance due at completion.

Invoices are due upon receipt. Payments more than ten (10) calendar days past due accrue a service charge of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month on the unpaid balance, or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is less. {{contractor_name}} reserves the right to stop work and preserve lien rights if any progress payment is not received within five (5) business days of the due date. All retained mechanic's lien, stop notice, and bond rights under applicable state law are preserved.

The following items are specifically NOT included in the contract price and are the responsibility of {{client_name}} unless added by written Change Order:

• Permits, plan-review fees, and jurisdictional inspection fees unless explicitly itemized above

• Repair or remediation of pre-existing code violations discovered during the work

• Asbestos, lead paint, mold, or other hazardous material abatement

• Structural engineering, architectural drawings, or third-party design services

• Finish selections, fixtures, or appliances not listed in the itemized scope

• Work on concealed systems (electrical, plumbing, HVAC, framing) beyond the points of connection identified

• Landscaping restoration beyond returning disturbed areas to rough grade

• Post-completion cleaning beyond construction broom-clean

• Wallpaper removal (priced separately at per-sq-ft or per-room rate)

• Cabinet painting (separate template for kitchen cabinet refinish)

• Textured ceiling repair (patch-match texture is best-effort; full texture match billable)

• Major drywall repair beyond 6" patches

• Lead paint abatement for pre-1978 homes (certified contractor required if present)

• Accent walls with specialty finishes (Venetian plaster, limewash, metallic) unless itemized

This proposal is based on the following assumptions. If any assumption is incorrect, the contract price and schedule are subject to adjustment by Change Order:

• Site access is available during normal working hours (7am–5pm, Monday–Saturday)

• Adequate parking is available within 100 feet of the work area

• Electrical power and potable water are available on-site at no cost to contractor

• Existing structural elements, waste lines, water supply, and electrical service are in serviceable condition unless noted

• {{client_name}} will remove personal property, artwork, and valuables from the work area prior to start

• Work is based on a single mobilization; re-mobilization required due to delays outside contractor's control will be billed at current rates

• {{client_name}} removes fragile valuables, wall art, and window treatments before work begins

• {{client_name}} relocates or clusters furniture in the center of each room (crew can assist for standard furniture)

• HVAC runs during work for proper drying (especially in humid climates)

• {{client_name}} accepts latex/acrylic water-based paint (oil-based alkyd available as upgrade)

Any modification to the scope, specifications, materials, or schedule set forth in this agreement must be authorized in writing as a Change Order signed by both parties before the work is performed. Each Change Order will describe the modified scope, any adjustment to the contract price, and any impact on the schedule. Verbal instructions do not modify this agreement. Additional time and cost associated with unforeseen conditions — including but not limited to concealed rot, asbestos, mold, faulty prior installation, unmarked utilities, or code-required upgrades triggered by the work — will be documented as a Change Order and billed at the rates stated in this proposal or at {{contractor_name}}'s then-current published labor rates, whichever is in effect at the time the condition is discovered.

{{contractor_name}} warrants the workmanship of the installed work for a period of one (1) year from the date of substantial completion. Manufacturer warranties on materials and equipment pass through to {{client_name}} as provided by the manufacturer and are the exclusive source of any material warranty. This warranty does not cover normal wear, abuse, neglect, acts of God, subsequent work performed by others, damage from settlement or movement of the building, or modifications to the installed work performed without written consent. To make a warranty claim, {{client_name}} must notify {{contractor_name}} in writing within thirty (30) days of discovering the alleged defect and allow reasonable access to inspect and repair.

This proposal is valid for 30 days from the proposal date ({{proposal_date}}). Pricing is subject to change after that date due to material market fluctuations and scheduling availability. Acceptance requires signature below and receipt of the deposit amount stated in Payment Terms. Upon acceptance, this proposal, together with any attached specifications and subsequent written Change Orders, constitutes the complete agreement between the parties and supersedes any prior oral or written discussions.
