Why do they all look like they've just got released from prison? From their raggedy, just drank a case of beer and showed up to your house look to their dodgy beat to hell van? Which sometimes moonlights as the families Ford Aerostar van with ladders still attached to the roof.
How much do they get paid? Can't be that much overhead?
I've never seen a Profesional paint crew
I don't mind what they look like, but boy it pisses me off when they quote $14,000 to paint my 2,100 sq ft house.
That's a pretty good motivational technique to get me off of my lazy arse and outside painting my house myself.

This...we had to pull up all our wood floors and replace them. Wife said she was going to paint our 5 bedrooms herself. I bought all the paint and rented scaffolds. She procrastinated up until the week before new floors were going in. I got a guy exactly as described in the OP to give me a quote. $2,500. To paint walls only. No trim whatsoever and I had already purchased the paint. This was at 10am on a Friday. She was painting by noon and it was completed Sunday afternoon. Mostly by me but yea. Aint no way I was paying him that much money.

I had the exact same quote on the same sqft. You’re right. It motivated me to do it myself. Did it all for less than $300. I did a little bit after work each day and was done in a week.
