Is $16k too much to repaint a small semi-detached house?
I’m trying to sanity-check an exterior painting quote I received because the numbers aren’t making sense to me.
My house is a small semi-detached frame house in Brooklyn/NYC. Based on the survey, the building itself appears to be approximately 13.8 ft wide by 49.5 ft deep. Since it is semi-detached, one long side is shared/attached, so only three exterior sides should need painting. Also, the front portion is one story, while the side/rear are two stories.
The exterior was already refinished/painted in October, so I don’t think this should be a full restoration job. I’m planning to repaint it in Sherwin-Williams Caribbean Coral, and I understand that coral/red tones may need two coats. I’m also expecting normal prep.
But I was quoted $16,000, and the contractor said my house is3,000 sq. ft, it’s not I don’t even, think it’s 3000 ft.² if you accidentally added the party walls
