Interior painting estimate?
I am trying to get an average price to charge(just labor: one person)on painting a couple rooms and the cieling. The rooms are about 600 square feet total. I was guestimating around $500
dose that sound about right.

thanks

Ps. I'm not a professional painter so I'm not gonna charge out the ass

You know how they blank out words like **** **** ****, etc... automatically?

Can't they do that with "how much?"

Guesstimating is never a smart way to price work, and posts like this will seldom bring you any worthwhile info.

If you're a contractor, then I suggest you begin here:
