OK, I'll be first then. I sub it out to a few friends that do customs for 3 builders. There is 3 painters, and on interior only I pay about $6.00 sq/ft. That gets me primed before trim, ceilings 2 coats, all trim windows and doors sanded and stained, and 5 coats of laquer(all after installation).Walls 2 coated. Steel doors painted or grained(my choice) and garage painted out like the house(door frames included)
When they are done I can rub the trim and get a chubby.It is smooth as glass. They are my best kept secret, and they have gotten me more work than all my advertising. People see the trim and the details and they are sold(at least the people that know the difference and they are the ones I want to build for anyway)
The way they tape and spray my stairs is awesome. White laquer ballisters and stained treads and railings,aaaaaah , makes me feel soo good. KC
