Estimating.
So. This is a rental property I was asked to bid. Paint the whole interior of the house. Prime and paint stained wainscot and crown in family room and fix and paint the rest of the house. It’s very dirty too. Too many pictures needed to show what a mess.

Job Bid
Hello. I have a request to give an estimate to paint a 1900 sq ft interior of a house (2 story). Some wall need priming for nasty stuff. (It’s a rental). Ceilings, walls, trim, doors basically everything to paint. How much and how long for 1 person to paint? Thanks.

@Josh Vassar I’m not sure I’ll send pictures of the job soon and you will see the issues that I am working with. I’m thinking closer to $5k all said and done. (Or more). That includes repairs. Labor only. A lot of the house needs oil primer on the walls from water stains.

@Josh Vassar well. It’s funny because the guy wants me to do it because he knows my work. The problem is he and his brother own the house and it’s whether his brother wants to pay it. The guy also always throws in extras and expects it to be included. That’s why I always bid it hourly for this guys stuff.
Affordable but good kitchen cabinet paint
Is there a more affordable kitchen cabinet paint than sherwin william or benjamin moore? Cabinets have old oil based laint so will clean sand and oil based primer first. In youtube video I watched but there was indicated if sign up for goo crew there is information here. Very much appreciate any good experiences with alternate options.

What price range are you looking for? All paints have gone up in price and shelf price at SW or BM is higher for non contractors unless on sale.
DIY?
Some DIY do not prep correctly. (Some professionals?) Have to love the challenges of knotty pine.

@Jeremy Vassar I like the shellac. But with the price increase I’ve been using oil based primer more. I can use inside out outside. The smell is the bad part.
Bathroom.
This is why I want to strictly do painting. I am now starting a bathroom remodel and got rid of 2 closets to make a 1/2 bath into a 3/4 bath. But unfortunately he got someone else to do the painting and I have the hassle of doing demo. What is funny is that he had the painter paint first and I have to blend all the paint after I finish Sheetrock.
