Please let me clarify my comment. We quote the job as to the number of hours required to paint the structure along with any repairs that need to be done along with prices and quantities needed on the different types and grades of paint we use. If the client wants to use/furnish their own paint then we charge a per gallon fee for their paint and also a clause in the contract stating we are not responsible for how well the paint will cover, how much will be needed due to the type of paint or how long the paint will last. Needless to say we have never had a client try to furnish their own paint and have always provided an excellent quote to completion ratio. As for my comment on the site, I do usually enjoy reading it but will be more mindful of what is being said.
