Yey its Friday!
Had the house painting completed today by a reputable local painter (timber weatherboard) and as with most things I buy I wonder if I paid too much.
It took 2 guys 5 days flat chat to double coat all external walls, eaves, facia boards and 4 timber windows. The home is two level.
Although I am very happy with the results, I just wonder if its the usual going rate for professional painters these days i,e:
Total coast $4750
Paint cost $400-$500 tops
5 days (8 hour days with 1 hour smoko)
Therefore each pocketing $2125 for 35 hours with the brush.
