There are a number of good painting contractors to choose from. What you will normally find is that the established companies are usually fairly close in price. However, at times, you will get an estimate that is a lot lower than others and, at times, you may get one that seems excessively high. There could be many factors here. Is the company licensed and insured? Do the painters work for the company, therefore being subject to all of the additional payroll expenses, or are they daily labor?
