Am I paying to much?

Hello all,

I'm in the process of getting my house painted and have talked with my first contractor today. He quoted my $1700.00 to pressure wash, sand some parts of the house that need it, and paint everything. One side of the house is brick. It is a two story 1500 square feet house.

Please let me know if this price sounds about right or if you need more information.

Thank you!

Johnny
