Who is responsible for moving items so a painter can paint?

A painting contractor is hired, but says the homeowner must move the furniture and other items before he paints. The homeowner says the painter should do the moving. Who is correct?
 
I would think it would be the homeowner's responsibility. If he did move it and ended up damaging it, you'd be miffed. If he hurt himself doing it, it would be work done outside of the job description, and he could sue you. You hired a painting contractor, not a furniture mover.
 
How much does the contractor charge per hour. Do you really want him wasting time moving furniture?
If it's a contract job eg.$100 for a finished job he won't do anything but paint.
 
painters paint.......they are not hired to move furniture

some may agree to move furniture but i promise you that you will have to pay extra for this
