Example job
Interior repaint, living, hallway and two bedrooms
A 1970s weatherboard home in Mount Eden: three rooms plus hallway, low-sheen walls, flat ceilings, and tired skirting. Customer wants furniture left in place where possible.
Scope lines and quote items below show how this job would be structured in Tradient. Wording and prices stay fully editable for the job in front of you.
What the customer sees
Protect floors, furniture and adjacent finishes
Cover carpets and timber floors, wrap remaining furniture, and mask skirting, architraves and fixtures before any prep starts.
Wash down walls and ceilings
Sugar-soap wash to remove dust and greasy marks, then dry before filling so filler grips properly.
Fill cracks, nail pops and minor dents
Fill hairline cracks and nail pops with appropriate filler, sand flush, and dust down ready for spot-priming.
Spot-prime bare and repaired areas
Spot-prime filled patches and any bare plaster so finish coats cover evenly without flashing under raking light.
Two finish coats to walls, living, hallway, two bedrooms
Cut in and roll two coats of low-sheen acrylic to agreed wall surfaces in the living room, hallway and two bedrooms.
Prepare and paint ceilings in the same rooms
Prepare ceilings and apply two coats of flat ceiling white to living, hallway and both bedrooms.
Sand and paint skirting and architraves
Light sand, spot-prime where needed, and apply two coats of semi-gloss enamel to skirting and architraves in quoted rooms.
Remove protection and tidy the work areas
Pull masking and drop sheets, wipe down light switch plates, and remove trade waste from site.

Will you move all the furniture or work around it?
How many coats are included, and what if the old colour shows through?
Are ceilings and trims in the price or extra?
What happens if we find more damage once prep starts?
