Why is my paint job cost more than flooring?
Hello fellow RFDers,
I recently had a paint job done.
I love it and all but there's something that irks me.
Not sure why the labour for paint job cost more than the flooring itself.
Granted, the paint job was more than the living room and the floors were only for the living room.
But painting seems "easier" than flooring.
Paint Cost - $1300 including material, and prep
Duration : one day
Paint Material - Dulux Life Masters, they provide
Living room and entrance hallway - 250 square feet, walls and ceilings
Kitchen ceiling - about 180 square feet
Upstairs hallway - including the stair way which is a bit higher
High entrance hallway - to paint the non-pop corn ceiling (about 4 inches wide around a 7 by 8 feet area)
Powder Room - 5 x 6 square feet
Flooring Labour Cost - $900 for Living room - 215 square feet including removal of glued down flooring
Excludes material (i brought separately, delivered, etc)
Anyone can help chime in on my RFD savviness ? (And no, i'm not a handyman and couldn't do it in one day)
Thanks,
