Is $20,000 to paint 1600 sq ft of roof panels with a custom color a fair price?
Project Details
I just received a quote from a paint specialty company to paint about 1600 square feet of roof panels with a custom color. The quote was for just under $20,000, which works out to about $11 a square foot. This seems high to me, and I'm questioning if it's reasonable. I just can't justify $20k to get a certain color for our roof, even though the company is established and has been in business for about 25 years. They usually do metal roof panels for large buildings, not residences.
