We got a quote for our home and it was right around $10,000. I know people in my neighborhood are paying $7000 and up. OUCH!!
We have 4000+/- sq feet. The front entry is hardest with very high ceilings.
We are very picky and particular when it comes to someone working at our home. We expect someone to work as if it is their own home and NOT MANY people do that. We are not afraid to get ourselves dirty so we decided to do it ourselves. It will be a slower process but it will be done right. Hubby bought the 12ft ladder this week. We might have to contract the 1 front room because it is so high.
We built our home in 2000 and last year we painted daughter's room and we used a lot more paint that we expected. The builders just blow some paint on and when you go to repaint, the walls really soak it up. Her room is perfect now so that is 1 less for us to do!!
Good luck!
