Cost of Painting a Gardenia
 
I am interested in what the cost of painting a Gardenia is, from folks who've done it recently. I can only imagine what a gallon of high quality Sherwin-Williams exterior paint is costing these days.

If you have a Gardenia, or similarly sized house, please share with me what a gallon of paint costs, how many gallons it takes to paint a Gardenia (or similarly sized house) and what it cost to have the whole job done.

TIA

We had our Durham model painted in January and it was 2300

I think the neighbors (one larger, and one smaller than our Gardenia) paid $4000 to $3000 both used Steve Kling and both were very well done. I will be using him this year or next for our house.

We had our Gardenia painted by Rockholt Painting-Rocky about 8 months ago. Phone 603 391-6658. Frankly, I am a tough customer and I am very happy. Kept appointments, I can't find a drip, a thin spot anywhere. I was shocked how quickly his TEAM works.

Cost of Sherwin Williams paint, you can look it up on the internet. We did get Sherwin Williams. The bid was for the job, we did not buy the paint separately. Sherwin Williams is a brand name. I expect they have several grades. If, I recall the grade he used is like $65 a gallon on the internet.

$2,800 to $3,000 With Power Wash Using Sherwin Williams Paint. (Paint Included)

Also be aware that there are extras you may or may not want. For example, do you want all the white trim and gutters painted? That's usually extra. Also, for us, we also wanted our lanai floor and floor under the birdcage painted - again, extra. It adds up quickly.

You forgot a few things. Workers Comp Ins. Unemployment Ins. Half of the Social Security. Liability Ins. Truck Ins. The Highest Gas Prices in Over 40yrs. Work Trucks are Now Over $40,000. Accounting Services. Advertising Cost. The Highest Paint Prices in History. Work Phones. There are other factors such as Roller Covers. Brushes. The Time Spent Picking up the Paint & Supplies etc. What Kind of Company Did You Own? Len The Retired Half of Investment Painting Contractors.

No I didn't.


A little defensive are we???

With all the costs involved I don't see how you are able to paint a house for that low amount.

Seeing how you slammed his pricing, I'd be defensive, too.

I think $3k to paint the exterior of a stucco home is more than fair, especially considering all of the labor involved. In fact, I think it's on the low end.

The home is pressure-washed several days before. Then a crew arrives to tape the affected areas before cutting in, then applying two coats of paint to the surfaces. That's a whole lot of work.

Since I'm going to have my house painted in the Fall, what company did you use that was significantly less expensive? Thanks for the info.

Absolutely

Actually, I wasn't looking for a quote. I was looking for history. Reports from the customers. I know how to get quotes if that's what I want.
I did receive a quote in a PM, and that's fine, it's just not what I'm looking for now.
