Alright my mom's friend hired me to paint her house that she had baught. The house was empty and she paid for all the supplies. The house is a twin and 3 floors.
I started the project back in May 15th and should be done this week.
This is what I have painted.
1st floor;
The living room and dining room and stairwell leading to the upstairs. I painted the cielings 2 coats and primed the walls and painted the walls one coat. The hieght of the ceiling is about 9 feet. the room is about 15 by 23 feet in length.
I also painted all the moldings and crown moldings and the moldings on the stairs on both sides. I also painted the front door both sides and 3 very big windows that are made of wood.
The moldings, doors, and windows were given two coats of oil paint.
I also did a lot of aptching and sanding on the walls. They were in very bad shape.
I also tore down the kitchen and fixed all the walls and holes and primed and painted the cielings and walls. Half the walls were peinted one coler and the other half were painted another.
I alsoo did the moldings and widows and used to coats of oil paint.
There was also another small room and i primed the cileings and walls and painted the cielings and walls. I also painted the moldings and door with oil paint. There was another small room and i only painted the cielings with two coats.
2nd floor;
There are three bedrooms and I fixed all the cielings and walls. That were in terrible shape. The small bedroom I plastered the whole ceiling because it had long cracks all over the place. The other rooms I plastered the walls and cielings. Each room was painted a different color for the walls and were given two coats of piant. One room was wainted two different colors.
I painted all the moldings in this floor with two coats of aoil paint, all the windows were painted wiith oil paint and I painted a total of 9 doors with two coats of oil paint on this floor.. I also painted the hall way which was the color of the paint used downstairs.
3rd floor;
I painted a total of 4 doors with two coats of oil paint. 4 windows of oil paint, 2 coats. I also fixed and plastered and sanded all the walls and cielings. there are two rooms. the both rooms put together is about 15 by 20 feet long. I also painted all the m oldings with 2 coats of oil paint The stairs, the part in which you step on was primed and painted with two coats of oil paint, and the wall part was painted with two coatrs of regular paint.
I basicly started this project the week of may 18 and will be done by July 18th. A total of 9 weeks. i am the only person working here.
All the floors were coeverd.
There were no furniture in the house.
All the cielings were primed.
All the walls were primed.
Both the cielings and walls, plastered was used and sanded.
All the moldings in all the rooms were painted with oil paint with two coats.
All the windows were painted two coats of oil paint.
All the doors were painted with two coats of oil paint.
The closets were not painted and neither were the bathrooms. The closet doors however were painted.
She paid for all the supplies which costed about $1000.
The walls and cielings werre in very bad shape and i used 4 buckets of plaster. Each bucket had 5 gallons of plaster.
The house looks totally different.
We used oild paint for the moldings, doors and windows because it looks very good.
This job took me so long because like i said the walls and cileings were in very bad shape. She baught the house from an old lady which is why.
We agreed on a price of $4500. She is a family friend which is why I said that price is okey. In my opinion, all the work in the house would have cost a professional more than 10,000 to 15,000 dollars. Siolely because the walls and cielings just had toooooooo many cracks, well i used a total of 80 gallos of plaster. Thats how bad it was.
In your opinions, i think I'm being ripped off, which am fine because she's a friend of the family, But in reality, how much do you think a job like this would cost.
I am not a professional, only a college senior, but i am good at it. this isnt my first time painting someones house. The eniegher who had her whole house remodeled, wishes I ahd done the painting for her, and so does everyone else who comes in there to see it.
Now lastly, some weeks i worked, 20 hopurs and others I worked 60 hours so it kind of averaged out to 35-40 hrs a week.
How much woukd someone charge to do all this work. Tape was used to give very straight lines and more than 20 roles of tape have been used costing more than 150 Dollars so this house would look perfect.
Am alright with the price since its a family friend I had said 5000 but dropped it to 4500. She's a family friend which is why I am doing it for that much. I just wanted to make sure that I was giving her an awesome deal, even though it sucks for me. But want to know how much she is like saving?
