FAQ
What close rate do painting estimators actually hit?
Residential repaint companies commonly close 30–50% of in-home estimates. The lean model referenced here implies roughly a 42% close at a $5,600 average job to reach $1.7M from 600 appointments.
How many appointments can one estimator run?
600 per year is about 2.4 per working day (250 days). With tight routing and a VA handling scheduling, 2–3 per day is sustainable; above 4 per day quality usually slips.
What does the VA handle?
Scheduling, crew coordination, customer follow-up, invoicing and review requests, typically $800–$2,000 per month overseas, replacing an office manager salary.
Is 50% gross margin realistic?
With subcontracted crews, 45–55% gross margin is a common target. Below 40% net profit gets fragile once overhead and the estimator salary are paid.
