    To get my front of house, 3 bedrooms bathroom and hall, stairs and landing painted inclusive of ceilings: 1250 euros.

    I must suplly the paint.

    I have never dealt with painters before so I dont know what price to pay. Your help is greatly appreciated, thanks.

    It depends really on what the painter is doing. Is s/he washing down the walls as well? Applying wall sealent first?

    Is it a one-coat job or will several coats be needed? It depends on the amount of work and hours going into it I suppose.

    2 coats on every wall. Thats all we discussed so far really.

    I wouldn't say it's a 'good' price but I've heard people being quoted €800 for 3 beds and a hallway so it might be 'average'?

    Not really sure tbh, I just thought that it was better to clarify those questions before other people came along looking for more info. :)

    You say the front of house! Is the price quoted including the front of your house plus 3 bedooms and bathroom and HSL.? If that is so you are getting it done very cheaply.

    i agree.

    without looking at it and the amount of prep work involved i'd say you where getting a bargain,provided its done by a pro.

    I also agree. What the OP quotes sounds like a price that is too good to be true. Get a few more prices to determine the 'bargain' factor.

    Cheap as chips IMO, even with you providing paint. But that's the way things are going, prices are faliing, a lot more free labour in the market lately (myself included)...just keep an eye on the quality of finish.
