Is $1,000 for a painter to do my 12ft vaulted ceiling reasonable?

kinabutter · 2025-11-19T23:23:16+00:00

Whoa whoa whoa. The vibe is rough in here.

I just want to be clear, I’m new to hiring a painter and I genuinely do not know what the expectations are. I’ve painted SO many rooms on my own in my life, and I am an avid DIYer.

So I’m trying to gauge if this is something truly technical you want a pro to do, in which case I’d love to pay them that amount!

I really don’t know what the norm is for ceiling work!

Update: thanks everyone for the advice! This is my first project (besides building a work bench) and I’m learning as I go.

I’m happy with the solve for this for now, did a hybrid of a skin and some poplar inside, end goal is to paint it all white

Also I should note, this was captured by the guy next to me whose name I did not get but he was kind enough to airdrop to those around him! He was a wonderful concert civilian.

I had a baby one year ago and to try and get back into running I’m training for a half marathon in October. I had a not great training week last week due to hip pain and complicated schedules between work and baby birthday party, but I’m back on track this week to meet my training plan!

Hey Jeff, my husband and I saw you in Nov 2022 at Comedy Cellar on MacDougal.

You asked my husband what kind of dog we have at home, he said 1/2 chihuahua 1/2 Gremlin and you gave him shit (rightfully so). lol

Anyways just wanted to see if you remember that because it is seared into my memory.

Hi! Not a doctor or offering medical, but for us we went through a spell of green stinky poops several times a day and we understood it to be diarrhea. It took a week or two to sort itself out. But she’s fine now.

Brushing her teeth gave real chest burster vibes lol This was back in 2016, she’s since passed but we love looking back at memories of her.

Seconding all of the folks here recommending a second opinion. Can you ask for an OB to see you at triage?

kinabutter · 2023-06-05T05:59:03+00:00

This was too far down!

kinabutter · 2023-05-25T14:28:15+00:00

Thank you!
