Today dad told me a contractor in the villages gave him a price to paint his stucco gardenia of $3400. Seems high? Anyone have any knowledge of this?

We second the recommendation for Investment painters. They did our Iris interior in a day and did a super job of painting AND cleanup. Had them do my garage floor later. Another quality job.

We too like Investment Painters. Think I paid $2000 for total interior including ceilngs in a stretched Lantana.

My neighbors had Omar do what I think is a lot more work for a much lower cost. Get some more estimates, and check out Omar's, they were very happy with their work.

Should be inside and out for that price!!!

We had exterior 25 yr Sherwin Willuams paint for 1750. Your estimate seems way high.

We had received a quote of $3200 to paint our stucco Designer. Yikes! Wife and I decided we could paint it ourselves.

We did.

Paint cost: $230.
Labor: a little sweat.
Looks fabulous.

I was just told by a decorator last week that when we hire a painter, whoever it might be, they should apply 2 coats and not one right after the other. They should paint, let it dry, then paint the second coat. Perhaps that is the difference in prices?
