Are you sure your painting quote is complete?
Average price range: €1,500 – €10,000
With painting, the difference is in the preparation: sanding, filling, priming and the number of coats determine both the quality and the price. A quote that simply says "painting" with no surface prep or paint system is hard to compare. QuoteChecker makes the line items transparent.

Frequently asked questions
Does the reduced VAT rate apply to painting work?
For homes older than two years, a reduced VAT rate often applies to the labour (not the materials). A quote charging the full rate on everything is worth checking.
What should a good painting quote include?
A description of surface preparation, the number of coats, the paint system, surface area, a VAT breakdown and a warranty. Interior and exterior work itemised separately.
