Thanks for yr reply, Molly.

The overall price seem reasonable and maket price.

Just find a bit strange that the cost of paints seem more expensive, although it is included in overall price.

The overall price is good for 5room - $1300/$1100.

Even the professional ones from Nippon are charging similar prices.

But since the cost of the paint is factored into the nett amount, don't understand why they would need to "inflate" it just for show. All these items are commonly found in paint shops, and prices are readily available.

There's no need for that I-am-giving-you-good-paint claim.

It might backfire if one decides to buy their own paint and get them to minus out the cost difference. =P

Another thing, besides walls that need to be painted, there are also pipes, doors and some others, will those be included?

yeah...quite strange isn't it? (ie the inflated paint prices)

only the door is excluded as we have painted it ourselves recently.

The painting guy did not use floor protection?

their only form of protection was a piece of old curtain and the existing cardboard protection laid on most floors by our contractor and myself. But they simply ripped it off when they wanted to paint the edges, thus the million white paint splatters.

I can conclude why some paint companies you see from classifieds and from the company my hubby hired, can charge so cheap, is coz the painters are either working illegally and thus settle for $50-per-day payment, or they stinge on paint by using the original paint containers but imposter paints.

You think they mark up the paint as their commission for buying the paint? Is it too troublesome to buy the paints yourselves? Maybe can casually remark to your ID that you notice this or that place selling any particular paint for $15 cheaper?
