Had our house painted last year. The most amazing thing about the process was the variation in quotes—which ranged from $4,000 to $22,000!

There are some real sheisters out there. There are even guys out there who will take a job like this just in order to better case the place for a subsequent burglary.

I wouldn't hire a house painter without some solid recommendations from previous customers. And get 5 or 6 quotes.
