    Hi there,

    Just wondering if anyone out there would have an idea how much a professional painter and decorator would usually charge for a domestic painting job? Need work done on my hall, landing and living room. Do they usually charge by the hour or what?

    Have a guy coming around next week to give me a quote, but I don't know whether my expectations are a bit unrealistic.

    Thanks in advance ;)

    About 200 euro all in would cover it.

    That is based on this ad and many more like it on Donedeal.;)

    I agree, at that price I'd expect you'd need to get it re-done the following week.
    Paint and materials alone for your job would cost over €100. I pity the poor bloke calling in to price your job after the terrible advice you got here...

    Did the chap come around to you?

    What sort of price did he give you?

    Thanks.
