Skilled plumbers and good painters will run $15.00 or so per hour.

As to the question about how it all added up to 10K - here are some of the things he reported to the police as stolen:- washing machine - oven (yes, an oven)- TexSpray ($5,200)- nail gun- $400 worth of fittings, shark bites- Dewalt 12 in. sliding miter saw- X19 Spray painter in box ($600)- 30 gallon Dewalt air compressor(lots of other random construction equipment)- 600 feet pex- 48 in. round fan

My phone is full of handymen, plumbers, electricians, painters, and HAVC contacts!  

When my painter first used it he hated it then he came back the next day and loved it in the other lighting and now he’s using it on some of his other projects.

This was a hack a painter friend gave me and has saved me a ton of time and money. 

They are asking for a professional painter to come make adjustments. 

Actually, my painter and tile contractor are licensed, and are required to be licensed in Arizona. 

I’m hoping to identify trustworthy, reasonably priced painters/installers prior to closing so I can hit the ground running asap.Does anyone in the Philly/Upper Darby area have any recommendations?

Just this week a painter asked for 50 percent upfront.  

My painter had a helper...nice guy, late 30's..."
