Default Need a cheap exterior painter

Most people ask for a great exterior painter.
I am going to sell my home in a few months and my exterior needs painting. So, I don't need Kling or Oscar, I need a very inexpensive painter that will repair cracks and do a nice job painting.

Good luck in finding a good but cheap contractor. Shortage of people these days so companies will price to market.

Don't we all want cheap labor who does quality work?

Its the national strategy in some countries.

Great if you can find them but after awhile people wake up and realize they can make more money.

I will do it if you pay me cash, come with me to buy the paint, and don't mind rain streaks. .
