[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That's his fee excluding materials. That works out to $167 an hour. I'm mad I agreed to the estimate, I assumed the work would be more time consuming. It involved painting some exterior walls (not tall) and one bedroom. I assumed he'd be sanding and repairing holes but we didn't discuss that in advance so I guess that's my fault. I don't mind paying fair wages, but I just hate this feeling of being taken advantage of.[/quote]

So, would you rather be quoted an hourly rate?

In that case, are you going to post that it's taking too long and they've dragged out the job to pad the bill?[/quote]

I'm sorry but all those saying that $2000 is fair wage for two days of very simple painting work are delusional.  [/quote]

Professional painters cost that much. OP could do it herself, hire someone who's just some handyman off nextdoor, a college kid on vacation...Lots of other options but that's the price of a professional painting service with insurance.[/quote]
