KS-Eagle Painting, are you going to come in and do the job for that price? Or are you just throwing that out there?

I paid 5k northern Nj to have my cape cod 3/2 painted ... that didn’t include my staircase as that had been recently done

We just had our 1100sf SoCal home painted. $5500, did not include paint.

Millkworkman in which country you are?

Do you have a two story foyer? possibly combined with a full height living room? How about an open staircase with lots of spindles to paint or, even more money, a railing going across the front of the loft overlooking the tall space? If so, the price is probably reasonable. If you don't have any of those features, it sounds high to me. I am in the collar counties and we don't have the access and parking issues often found in the city so the jobs here would be cheaper.

I suggest asking about the proposed crew size and length of job to get a feel for the amount of work they expect to complete. Your house is very important and quality of work is a major part of a satisfactory job. If the work is well done and the prep work is extensive, spending a bit more money is still a good value. I prefer to work with small companies where the owner does the estimates and either leads the crew or closely supervises the work. If it is a poorly trained and under paid crew, the result will look cheap, even if you paid well.

My partner once bid a job but the homeowner went with a different company because they were cheaper. The homeowner did not compare the time estimates so did not notice the per hour labor price was quite a bit higher. The other company was about 25% cheaper but they only worked about half the hours he had estimated. The crew skipped much of the wall prep and sped through the painting to get the job finished on time. My partner was in the house some months later and his comment was the homeowner wanted a bargain and that is what he received.
