For example: Let's say a painter would do that one room that you painted for $1,000, all materials & labor included, all surfaces.

I'm trading a weekend at my lake house in exchange for a family of painters painting my dock.

Any referrals for painters, handymen are welcome.  

I had to manage the hell out of that situation too.Right now I cobble together a small force of: my contractor for plumbing/electrical, but he's often busy and not very fast, my painter, who is quick but limited, and a house cleaner for deep cleans between tenants.Oh Lordy, where do I find the ideal handyman who wants to stick around, knows what to do, and is sane?!?

Thanks everyone for the kind wordsDavid G - We used Glidden Duo, Its a Paint and Primer combo my painter suggested.

As the years progressed, I hired a full time employees and a painter on an as needed basis.

Every few years appliance delivery and hardware store people want to take my frumpy homeless-looking plumber construction painter self to lunch and offer to work for free just to 'be around it'.  

I have a roofer painter few ac and general contractor.

Should I really need to wait 2 weeks for painters when half of the area is unemployed?

If you have a corporate account you can call the color in and have it mixed and get your painter to pick it up which worked great for me at Sherwin Williams.
