yep

This is helpful to me, as we are under contract on a "new" house and we will be painting the entire interior as you are. I have spoken to friends that have had painting done to get an idea of what to expect. I was thinking it would be about $15k, including materials. One friend, with a similar space to yours, paid over $20k. Maybe her work was more intricate in nature? Another friend said $12k. Not sure if that included materials.

So, it probably depends on what area you are in. My quotes are for the NYC area.

Good luck!

How long does it take to do this?

snook
way,way, to many variables to estimate that
same for pricing

Yea, it sounds high, but who really knows? We have no idea what the bid involves. Ask them how many man hours they expect the job to take then we can tell you if it's high or not. If it's a 200 hour job, then $12,000 seems just about right!

Ooops, I didn't see that you said NO materials are included. Why not? What kind of pro painter gives a bid for a big job like this without materials? Hello Red Flag!

Christophern, did your 'yep' mean too high (thread title) or "does it sound like a fair price"? How can answer if there are too many variables?

I was being facetious

Oh, around here I have heard of a couple people paying $7000 for a few areas not even the whole house.
