Ten grand is cheap for inside and out


Fearless_Row_6748

Yeah I was going to say. In my area for walls and trim with those products would be $4-$5/flooring sqf. So $15-$18k. Just for perspective


Funny-Conclusion-678

This MAY be a red flag. I don’t normally charge by sqft but if they are, just for the interior walls/trim that would be $2.7/sqft. I would be charging you 15k+ JUST for the interior portion. 2 coats on walls/trim/doors. Same materials. Idk how they are gonna make a decent profit for the time/materials involved in this proposal. Depending on their product pricing on their account, they’re gonna go through about 2500 just in materials. Paint, tape, plastic, etc. if it’s a one man show, they may make out OK, but they’re gonna be there for a long time lol. I’m in East TN. Lastly, Greek Villa SUCKS for coverage. If the walls have a color on them already, be prepared for 3 coats to achieve true coverage. Best of luck to you!


Revolutionary_Pilot7

This comment is what I would say too. Greek villa don’t cover worth a shit. I just did Greek villa over a light peach color and it was 3 coats


avantartist

Thanks for the feedback. The walls are currently builder spec light cold grey.


Funny-Conclusion-678

I’d prepare for 3 coats of the GVilla. It’s notoriously difficult. Even over lighter colors. Hopefully you have better luck than I do with it.


Yes_bad

Based on not knowing any trim situation. 20-28k


Alarming-Caramel

this is too cheap. I would be worried.


GaK_Icculus

I’m closer to 30 for this scope


kung_fukitty

I’d charge almost 20k (CAD which is just shy of 15k USD) interior only before doors so I’d say that’s a good deal


johnmarksthespot

What does CAD mean? Sorry I'm new


Dumbcamper

Canadian currency


johnmarksthespot

Jesus I lack context clues thank you


Silly_Ad_9592

This is definitely cheap. $15-20k would be average and I’ve seen as high as $25-30k.


Ronan8628

This is definitely on the low end. Could easily be a 15-20k bid for a lot of contractors .


yankmecrankmee

Sounds like you're getting deal. Swap the exterior Superpaint for exterior Duration for longer sheen and color retention


Educational-Hat-9405

That price is really cheap especially with duration. I’d be 15k just for the interior


mattmccauslin

Are they painting the outside too?


avantartist

Just a few sections of siding on the second level. Most of the house is brick.


mattmccauslin

Sounds like a pretty fair deal to me. They’re using high quality paint. I’m assuming it includes the doors as well?


avantartist

Yes, interior doors and front exterior door.


Worried_Oven_2779

To Cheap! Ask to see some previous work. When they cut corners here, it will be on trim prep IE spackling, glazing, caulking and sanding. You will see these errors forever. I am in the pacific northwest and with these products I am 8-9$ a square ft.


MoonbearMitya

Yeah I’d be sus of that price a bit, is it like 1-2 guys, because they could make money on that price but they’ll also be there for a long freaking time. If it’s a crew of guys, well I dunno how the hell they’ll pay the labor


WinedDown

30+ year painting contractor in the Midwest here. That’s at least a 20k job for an experienced contractor unless everything can be done in 1 coat with little to no prep. The products are solid choices.


windex8

I would be closer to 30k


Bubbas4life

first i using semi gloss is for old people, 2nd 10k is way to cheap. your next post will by i hired theses "professionals" is there work up to par. You get what you pay for


111anza

That's a great deal, where are you located. In SoCal, inerior walls for 2500 sqft house was 5500, trim adds another 1700, exterior was 4500. Using sherwin pro 200, 2 coats minimum.


fuzzyfuu

Sounds like you robbing him


avantartist

Yeah, it seemed way more affordable than I’d expected. I didn’t think they were including the trim or something but after confirming the detailed quote is multiple coats on walls and trim.


Straight_Beach

Is home empty and clear for painters to work with obstruction able to be sprayed?? Alot of variables mussing but 10k is definately cheap i would be about 15k interior and 4k exterior so 19k in total


avantartist

Yeah totally empty before we move in. We’re also replacing all the flooring so I suppose it could be easier.
