Is $5,800 to paint ceiling, walls, and trim including sanding and patching a fair price?
Project Details
I am paying professionals for the first time. This company was the highest reviewed and had the highest quote among the four painting companies I considered, and they had the best initial walkthrough. I agreed to and paid for much more than standard sanding and patching, including refinishing. They specified that they do not use subcontractors and have their own crew. They were one of the highest reviewed on Google Maps and recommended on recent Reddit posts from my city. I wonder if the work quality was poor because it was done too close to a holiday.
