the problem with that being a former painting contractor is that many painters take too many short cuts. When I bid a job it was at least half labor for prep. Once the prep is done including wood repair and priming, the work goes fast.
But lots of prep means a higher bid and you know how people are.
Also, houses and house paint are not like cars. It is super difficult to feather house paint. Best to just remove it.
