Paint is not just a breed of horse

i got an estimate from a painting contractor today. i had heard that painters were expensive, but i was still surprised when the quote was for 50% more than it cost to put a new roof on my house (after the 5 April 2003 hailstorm).

the quote was separated into [inside] and [outside] with the inside costing twice the outside (which is mostly trim). i'll get another bid or two before making a decision. note the inside could be higher, depending on the color scheme i choose. darker colors will require additional coats (layers) of paint.

projected time to complete this job? 5 or 6 days
