Question 1

Why do painting quotes vary so much?

Accepted Answer

Because preparation does. A quote that skips washing and priming will always look cheaper and last less.

Question 2

How many coats are included?

Accepted Answer

Ask explicitly. A strong colour change often needs primer plus two coats.

Question 3

Can exterior work be done in winter?

Accepted Answer

Only within the product temperature and moisture limits. Here that usually means planning around the wet season.

Question 4

Is trim included?

Accepted Answer

Not automatically. Trim, doors, ceilings and closets are each priced separately by most contractors.

Question 5

Are these fixed KABLAY prices?

Accepted Answer

No. The ranges help with early budgeting but are not an offer or quote. Get a detailed written estimate for the exact address and scope.
