I'd be lucky to get my painter to take my call for what I might pay for that paint.  

No different than a trash man, a painter, an agent and yes, even a wholesaler.

I recently paid $650 for a painter to stain a deck easily twice the size.

A good painter with a sprayer can get an entire kitchen coated in two days, possibly less. 2.

Full time jobs I've held: I've been a landscaper, house painter, and road construction worker... so I guess that certifies me to take care of the outside.

It's like painter's blue tape but in green or yellow colors.

We prepped for the painters by removing all the drapes, nails, outlet covers, etc.

I was paying for a painter and the workmanship sucked, so I asked if I could work with him on my next project.

I only allow the tenant to paint if I know the quality of their work, otherwise I send a real painter.

Another good reason to do outside first/early is that you can take pictures and get preview listing going sooner.One little trick I've found to work well near the end...1) Sand and first two coats of polly on hardwood2) Paint walls/ceiling 3) Last sanding and polly on hardwood 2, 1, 3 - The painters are happy because they can slop paint all over the floor, BUT I'm unhappy because then ALL the surfaces have to be wiped down from the dust - and it's never perfect. 1, 3, 2 - No dust to clean but Painters have to be perfectly careful and not drip OR scrape with their ladders.
