I have several rooms I want repainted and my husband is being an ass and doesn't want to help me paint them. My husband told me to just have someone else come out and do it. I have no idea how much they charge. Can anyone who has had someone repaint the inside of their home tell me approximately how much it cost to have a professional do it? I'm having someone come out wednesday to give me an estimate but they are 3 1/2 weeks out on their paint jobs and if I know that it will be super expensive I can cancel their trip out here and just tell my husband it will be a bunch of money and he has to help me paint. :innocent:
Welll....I have gotten estimates only for the trim in our house to be painted, not the walls...I got my husband to do the walls before we moved the furniture into our house (but couldn't get him to do the trim
).
The downstairs was $1k, the upstairs is a little over $2k...so, $3k in all just to do the trim....and before I hear from the peanut gallery, "THREE K just for the TRIM? Are YOU nuts???" No, I'm not...that is the standard price around here, because I ended up getting 5 estimates from 5 completely different people (one was a contractor...one just did paint...etc., etc.)
And our house isn't *that* big, either, about 2600 square feet or so.
