painting quote? I just got one back that was only $700. This seems odd.

Does the $700 quote guy have a suburban with a headlight out?
Also, is each quote itemized?

Only the lowest quote is itemized.

Low man drives a standard looking Chevy WT. High man drives a 90s era van and smokes pall malls.
There is a 3rd quote, but it is a young fella working for his aunt and uncle. They arrived in a new Tahoe, were thus disqualified.

I didn't tell him you'd be calling or anything
Aug 21, 2019, 1:24 PM
|

no reason to feel bad
other than that I'd provided a reasonable recommendation when asked that went otherwise ignored like McLovin hinted at.

Ignored and not followed up on are two very different things. Oh yeah, the guy that helped with my AC. If you ever do need something I'll give you his info. He may or may not be able to help as this is a side gig. I figured y'all could work that out if the time came.

High quote had Behr exterior top of the line semi gloss without the amount specified
Low quote is Sherwin Williams Superpaint Exterior Satin - 2 gallons
Low quote does not spell out scraping and sanding. THAT may be the big difference.

all that prep, including caulking and any surprise need to replace some rotten wood, is where all the work is. Slapping on paint is the easy part. I have no idear about the differences between those 2 paints, but if I wuz going to do a halfassed prep job, I'd spell out a really good paint, that would hang in there for a while even wit poor prep.

The prep is what I fear doing poorly if I tried this myself.

Also, I am good if I never run another bead of caulk in my life. My work in that department looks terrible.
