Hello everyone,
We live in a mid-terrace house and plan to have the facade painted in the medium term. The plaster is about 20 years old, solid, and only shows minor hairline cracks. So, we assume the plaster is generally in good condition.
The width/height of the front and back is approximately 5 x 6 meters (16 x 20 feet), plus an additional 1.5 meters (5 feet) of exterior facade x 6 meters (20 feet) due to the offset of the house from the neighbor, and a gable strip of about 0.5 meters (2 feet) following the roof slope.
In total (excluding the large patio window), it comes to around 60 m² (645 ft²).

Is 75 €/m² (about $80/ft²) too expensive? On MyHammer and other platforms, I’ve seen prices ranging from 40–50 €/m² (about $43–54/ft²).

If you have several offers, you will be able to see what is normal for your area.

A mid-terrace house doesn’t have the largest area either. The painter will probably charge a bit extra for that...

Hi,
I will do the same. A forum is a platform for exchange, and I wanted to discuss things with you in advance.

Yes – the preparation and cleanup usually take more time than the actual painting itself ;-)

That’s no problem.
But the price can be good or bad. What is included? Scaffolding, which surface preparation of the façade, which paint, what additional tasks like taping windows, plastering work, etc.

Your question is like: I’m buying a car for €25,000. Is that expensive? I’ve read that cars cost between €15,000 and €75,000.
