Painting estimate in DFW

[Brad Birchfield]

I am looking for feedback on what people are typically paying for painting services in the DFW area. I just purchased a 1500 sq ft SFR in the north Fort Worth / south Keller area (76137 zip). I have one estimate in hand for painting the complete interior (including kitchen cabinets) and complete exterior for $10.5k. From what I've seen on here, that seems high to me. Am I wrong? Here are the relevant details: Exterior: $4k (brick exterior, but the back side is all wood siding, and the front is probably 50% wood siding; also includes replacement of about 6 boards and a few 4x8 sheets of siding; includes 2 colors) Interior: $6.5k (includes all walls (1 coat; 1 color), all trim, and all cabinets in the kitchen; does not include bathroom cabinets) Is this in line with what you are currently paying for painting in the Dallas / Ft. Worth area? If you have a recommended contractor that would do this for less, PLEASE send me or post their contact info.
