Re: Interior Painting Cheap
if its too good to be true, then it prolly it. Hack job by hacks using hacked material. The End. Not really, after they screw up, HO ends up calling you to clean up their mess and thats where you hack them on the price!

Re: Interior Painting CheapQuote:
I love it Perfect. Once the get their foot in the door then they ask, "Do you want the ceiling painted? How about the doors/trims, baseboards, window trims, book case, closet? You want how many coats? Just a ploy. Ask for an estimate with a detailed "Scope of Work" and see what you get for your bucks. Can't be true and if so then it's got to be a crappy job which you won't like and will probably have to hire a professional painter to correct. My 2 cents worth. ![]() ![]() Jerry |

Re: Interior Painting Cheap
I guess those are ads from hungry students just get out of school.
"Two-guys-and-a truck" is a furniture moving company born by 2 college guys moving furniture in campus. Thereafter, they fully grew into hundreds trucks and many states as franchises too. But I doubt any similar concept of painting franchise can do it for a living. So I guess this is just for two mexicans trying to grap those 3 quick cans ($12) of paint (from Lowes/HD) and make a profit of $369- $12 paints - 3 brushes - 3 rollers = ~$300/3hours = $100 per hour = $50 per man per hour!.. It's done-able but barely survive on two hamburgers swallow per nite!.. and ofcourse.. quality control is --"their Disappearance fast" |
