Answer 1

For your location, you'll pay higher than other locations.  Be sure and get estimates from several different painters with a DETAILED list of what they will/won't do.  If you have existing flooring that you will be keeping (carpet, hardwood, whatever) then be sure & insist they NOT use a spraygun unless the home will be completely empty and they have a good track record.  Most hacks with a sprayer are just that - they'll blow anything that gets in their way full of paint (outlets, baseboards, etc. etc.) & you won't be happy.  Just something to think about. It'll be over a grand for sure.

Answer 2

I think you should paint it yourself...Home Depot will give you all the information you need. A professional will cost to much. I painted my kitchen and living room and two bathrooms and it was not hard at all. I did sponge texture in the bathroom and it was nice...
