Re: Wondering About Price??
You need to figure out how long it takes to paint one coat/one side of the doors.
My rates (roughly): French door $40 per coat per side = $160 per door = 5 X 160 = $800 Paneled doors (I assume 6 panel) = $20 per coat per side = $80 per door = 11 X 80 = $880 Your up to $1680 now, so I roughly came to approx. 2k for all. And that is with no prep or materials. |

Re: Wondering About Price??
Take the square root of the left over implements from an old shaving kit, multiply that by the number of panties hanging on your old college dorm house wall.......yea.....that should pretty much adjust everything.

Re: Wondering About Price??
Depending on the PITA factor, I would say at least $1,400.
