I’ve gotten a few estimates from different contractors. Why do the prices vary so much?
If all of your quotes are from honest, reputable, insured contractors, the major difference in price is usually directly related to the amount of surface preparation.

Since surfaces are covered by paint, you might not notice “short cuts” until there is a problem. Return to the top of the page.
