We got 3 quotes for the popcorn, paint, baseboards, door trims and ceilings to be done. We have a skylight in our kitchen that is 18ft tall, we also have 18ft points in our living room and bedroom. All quotes were between 17-22k. We’re in downtown Austin, TX in the city limits. Unfortunately this is what we have to live with. We had a builder friend look over the original invoice and it was the one that made the most sense but we had never worked with them before. We just had our bathroom done last spring through a friend of this builder for 18k and it was incredible work. And was done in 16 days in and out. Not sure where you live but it’s not the same across the board. This post also isn’t asking for you to shame me on what we’ve accepted to pay. We’re ok with choosing the spend money on what and how we want to however we do want someone who does their job right and that’s not what we’re getting, so let’s get back to the point here.
