How to estimate wallpaper removal

BreakEven PRO wallpaper removal estimating
Learning how to estimate wallpaper removal can be a tricky task, especially when your client is receiving fixed cost bids from your competitors. Most clients and general contractors like to budget their costs before granting a contract. This is where tracking productivity comes in. The use of your company’s historical production timing is always best. Below we show an example of a wallpaper removal job with the use of production rates. Always keep in mind that each item of service you perform has its own production timing, and each system has its own as well.
 
  • Remove wallpaper from 480 SF of walls / 50 SF per hour production timing = 9.60 man hours
  • Wash off heavy paste from 480 SF of walls / 250 SF per hour production timing = 1.92 man hours
  • Total man hours = 11.52
This scenario can differ if the walls never received a former release coat. Or, on the other hand, if the walls had multiple layers of wallpaper to remove would most likely slow productivity as well.
