I have been quoted €150 per day by an individual doing a private domestic painting job. This seems a bit high. Anybody think the same?

I just got quoted EUR250 per day
25 man days too !!
I think I can get this cheaper.
Depends what he is doing in the rooms is it just the walls? Or is it also the ceilings and woodwork?
I would say 5 days to do 4 rooms, walls only, maybe a little long but it does depend on the size of the rooms and if he has to move stuff around etc...
I also think €150 is a good price for a real painter.
Most of the real painters I use and know charge €200 per day
He needs to pay tax,insurance,prsi etc.If he is recommended then I would grab him,I have a painter's number who came recommended to me if you want, DublinI have been quoted €150 per day by an individual doing a private domestic painting job. This seems a bit high. Anybody think the same?

My sister, by contrast, had a professional painter to paint the downstairs of her house and he did a lovely job. I always thought I was a good painter myself until I saw the job she got done - the finish was so good. He wasn't dear either but he charged by the job, not by the day.
I think the thing to do is to get a good recommendation from someone who has used the painter. Personally I'd be a bit wary of a per day quotation - a professional painter will know how long a jopb will take and price accordingly. Someone quoting per day could stretch it out maybe?? (or is that just my bad mind???)

I can pass on his number to you if you would like
there was a post not too dissimilar to this one re kitchen fitting posted by Caveat a week or so ago , many of the same arguements about pay PRSI etc ...
