Thumbs up Waiting on Estimate

I had a guy come out on Friday and give me an estimate for painting the living room, family room, computer/dog room and hallway. I can't wait to see how much!!. I just hope I can afford it. I do have some puppy money left, but I just don't want to pay too much. I told him I would have everything moved and taped, (I'm so picky and don't want any paint on my oak woodwork.)

He doesn't accept payment until the work is done and approved..how great is that?

Hopefully by tomorrow he'll let me know. He did say it would probably only take him approx. 3 days, and as Martha Stewart would say "that's a good thing."

Thats great Janet, I hope that he gives you a great price to. I am waiting for my house to be painted to, but my husband said he will do it when it cools down in the fall. Soo I have to be patient.....

Hubby's talking about having ours repainted, the outside trim, that is. Inside is holding up pretty well. I can't wait to get rid of the carpet in the living room. Hubby is checking on it, tommorrow to find out when. Hopefully in a couple of weeks.

Janet, sooooo hope the estimate turns out good for you. It feels so good to have new paint!!! Will keep fingers crossed!!!

I hope that you get good news on your estimate too. I need to paint too, but my floor plan is so open that I'm going to have to paint several rooms when I do decide to do it and I'm picky like you......no paint on the woodwork.

Hope it's nice and low, and he starts right away, does a great job, and finishes quickly.

I hope you got a good estimate. if it only took him 3 days, that would be nice... & i don't blame you for taping up the oak finish, oak is so pretty...
