is very similar. The floor plans are very similar. The one rear
exterior photo is not accurate. That garage looks to be bigger than
the actual plans.

Can anyone venture an estimate to the nearest $500 -- $2000, 2500,
3000, 3500, etc. broken out by prep labor, paint labor, and paint?

The existing paint is in good shape -- no peeling, minor fading, but
it's ready for another fresh coat. The paint store quoted about $49
per gallon, but a handyman said he could get it for around $39 per
gallon.

The caulk around windows and doors needs to be replaced. What should
I expect for this? They will remove all the old caulk? Or tear off
the easy stuff and caulk over the old?

BM Moorgard was used last time. I'm thinking to go back with the same
paint and color.

Thanks,


I spent all night making a spread sheet and came up with 1993.47 for
labor, 594.52 for paint, 1287.20 for prep labor. which came to 4999.99
with discount and extras applied.
