I am sure he/she will be able to recommend. Some contractors will do it themselves, to earn more money. But need to be careful that the guy really know how to paint Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you can get $1200 for the whole house (including ceiling) tat will be very cheap already ( i assume your house is 4 room or bigger). Make sure they supply the paint that you want.Ya, my contractor also told me no limit on the paint, this is because they know no one would really paint each wall different colours. For my house only my kid's room is painted 2 colours, the rest all in white, the ceiling is another white, so total I've use 4 colours. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
