Usually priced by square footage, often higher than interior.
Sanding, patching, taping and surface prep, billed separately from painting.

Cost of paint, brushes, rollers and drop cloths, itemized or marked up.
Extra coats beyond the standard two, priced per coat.
Painting invoice questions
What should a painter's invoice include?
Your business details, the job address and dates, square footage or rooms painted, prep work, materials, number of coats, tax, and total due. MyInvoice's AI generator builds this from a short description of the job.
How do I price interior vs exterior painting on an invoice?
List them as separate line items with their own square footage and rate — exterior work is typically priced higher due to prep and weather factors.
Can I send a painting estimate before the client approves the job?
Yes. Build an estimate first, send it for online approval, and once approved it automatically converts into an invoice-ready project.
Can clients pay a painting invoice online?
Yes. Every invoice includes a secure payment link so clients can pay by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay once the job is done.
