    Ballpark €1200-€1400 I would say. I had it done last year for in or around that, also in Galway. Obviously might vary a bit depending on the house size, its current condition, prep work required, colours you want, etc.

    PM me for a name, pointless me posting it here, the mods don't allow recommendations other than by PM unfortunately...

    That's over priced. The materials cost are the materials cost, but other than that it should be all in no more than 200e per man per day to include wage cost, prsi, other expenses etc. I've seen quotes like this before but it's too expensive. Tradesmen overvaluing themselves unfortunately.

    1,100 max provided they are good tradesmen.

    Some tradesmen have the luxury of setting their prices based on how vulnerable or stupid a customer looks. And they also overvalue their skills. But look, if people are paying it can you blame them?

    Its called a quote for a reason they don't have to get them ,saying 200 euro day rate is irrelevant.
