Is $7,000 to repaint the exterior of a 1970 bilevel ranch a fair price?
Project Details
I am a new homeowner and just bought this house. I was quoted $7k to repaint the exterior, which seems like a lot of money. I am considering doing it myself but have never owned a house before and my knowledge comes from online resources like Youtube and Reddit. I am planning my approach and gathering tools, and I'm looking for advice on my planned methodology and equipment, including recommendations for a paint sprayer.
