Quote for basement repaint, and how many coats of paint
I want to start this out by stating I have already done all my homework to find out what I am planning to do is correct. That being said I am not sure what a reasonable price is, and how many coats of paint to do
I have a basement with 600 sq ft of floor space and about 1000 sq ft of wall space. I need to scrape and wire brush all of the walls, and repaint / drylock them. I only need to paint half the floor (other half is getting flooring put in it). So my the quote I got is below. I want to know if the price is reasonable, and if I really need to use 2 coats of drylock paint.

Tear off plastic and furring strips (only 500 sq ft)
Scrape / Wire Brush the 2 coats of existing paint that are flaking off

2 Coats of paint
Floor - 300 sq ft
