Is $14,000 to paint the entire interior of my house a fair price?
Project Details
I just purchased this new house and am having work done. I'm frustrated because I want to move in, which is why I hired professional painters. It's difficult because I live an hour and a half away and am rarely there. I'm considering pulling out of the entire house project, but the quote was a lump sum and not itemized, so I'm concerned about being charged excessively for the work they've already done poorly.
Quote Details
This quote is for a full interior paint job covering walls, ceilings, and trim for a 2300 sqft house. The paint color specified is Roycroft bottle green from Sherwin-Williams Emerald line. Initially, two coats were quoted, but three coats were required due to the dark color and coverage issues. The application method involved spraying the trim and rolling the walls and ceilings. Concerns include "picture framing" lines and poor cut-in work. Additionally, the HVAC air filter was found to be completely green, indicating poor containment of paint mist. Primer was not included in the scope of work, and the existing walls were a mixture of white, gray, and blue colors.
