Holy Cow .Chat Icon I think that is alot but we always do it ourselves.

I am glad we paint ourselves. I never knew how much they charged to paint rooms. So now when I compalin I will know it is worth the savings

My DH is a painting contractor and I used to do his estimates. That price is VERY low.

I am way too cheap to pay someone to paint for me. But I hate to say it - the price he gave you sounds pretty standard from what my friends have told me. Crazy.

Re: Price to paint... this guy is ripping us off right?

it sounds high considering the apartment building is already paying these people

that is 476 sq foot

my DH - who owns a home improvements company charges about $2/sq foot so he would charge you about 950 for that job

that is a very reasonable price

i think it sounds reasonable...we had a one room (~10x10) estimate for $1000 (wallpaper removal too)

I know you are just changing the color, but I can see why the complex is making you pay the painter...it's out of their policy

$575 for two rooms doesn't sound high to me at all. Definitely not a rip off.



Ditto !!
We paid $700 for our den. I think that's a great price !
