Hello,

I just got a quote of N278,000 to paint the exterior of a 4 bedroom bungalow. The house also has 2 sitting rooms. The house is on a full plot of land.

Just outside the house alone. Also this quote does not include the fence.

It's just for the exterior of the house. The house has never been painted before.

Is this a reasonable amount?

Just want to be sure. I will appreciate your comments and advice.

Thanks

Does this quotation include paint production and cost of labour?

It includes paint purchase and labour. It's the total cost

Paint purchase.. 138,000

Labour ... 140,000

Total... 278,000

Hmm...I suggest you beat the price down.

To what figure? Kindly give me an idea

Well, if they are emulsion based paints, I suggest you beat them down to 3,500 per bucket. Because I cannot imagine a painter producing those buckets at 5k plus

Okay. Many thanks

Hello

I'll just advice you to buy the paint( Princess Or Dulux paint),there are lots of differences with man made(local made)production and Machine/ready made production.and a drum of princess is around 7000-7500,and a 40 litter/2 drum of white princess paint are enough to paint the window hook/art work and the ceiling as well.

Thanks
