    Hi therex

    Anyone have any idea what one would expect to pay for painting a house, external and internal, although some of the external is pebble dash.

    The house is a 5 bed semi, around 1, 700 Square foot.

    Almost cheaper to buy a new house.
    Quoted between 1100 and 2900 external only without the paint for a 4 bed smaller than your detached in Galway county. Dread what the cost of a bigger house plus internal would cost.

    Cash quote (labour only) recently for 800 sq ft was 2200. Internal wall/ceilings/wood and external windows and 1 door. But all bare wood (3-4) coats and fresh plaster (3 coats). Repainting on existing paint would cut that down by 600.

    Paint a mix of farrow and ball copy (first coat) and farrow and ball real (2nd coat) plus base/undercoats/filler is 1000

    So: 6400 for yours internal.


    Don't paint pebbledash if its not yet painted. Worst mistake you can make.

    Very slow work if you have to though. So prepare for another chunk on top
