How much would it cost......?

Question

....to paint a 14 X 13 room with window frames & ceiling. This includes plastering the cracks & putting primer on the ceiling. ALL paint & spackle would be supplied.

So if a guy came in and did this work, what would be a good price for him? Thanks to all you knowledgable people.

Answer 1

Say, walls: prepare + 2 under coat & 1 emulsion, windows: rub down + 2 under & 1 gloss coat.

Painter @ say $35.00/h

Walls:

Prep 2hrs

Each coat 1.5hr

Total: 5.5hr = $192.50

Window:

Prep & rub down 4hrs

Each Coat 0.5hr

Total: 5.5hr = $192.50

Materials & consumables, say, $100.00

Call out charge, say, $75.00

EO non-continuous works, say, $50

Total $610.00

That should be a safe estimate for a thorough job, good operatives & taking 1.5-2 days

Answer 2

Well, I would anticipate it costing $200-$300, if not a bit over.

You could probably find a cheaper painter, however you will be able to see a bad paint job when he leaves.

The job will take at a minimum 5 hours.   And these guys are professionals.  And they will also be using their own tools.
