When the basement remodel was done, I had them fix the wall. It had been wall papered with this ugly paper and was peeling. I started tearing it down a while ago with the intent of painting it. When the guys were over I had them make the bottom part that was wood with trim piece taller. They don't like to paint and I decided that I don't want to do it, so I called my brother's friend who did my bedroom.
He's going to start off fixing the problems with the drywall, then painting the walls and the trim on the bottom set of stairs.
I always pay for supplies then just pay the workers for their time. Right now he quoted $175 but once I get someone in my clutches I usually find other things for them to do and just say, "add it to the bill".
Already I know I'm going to ask him to paint the trim around the windows. The other trim either needs to be cleaned with a Mr. Clean Eraser or painted. There's a yucky looking pipe in the laundry room that needs the rust scrapped off and painted. Plus I'm too lazy to paint the floor myself so I'll ask him. I painted it before grey but now that the colors are different it looks stupid. The laundry floor hadn't ever been done. I'm getting a bunch of projects around the house done (this is instead of my normal May vacation) but I'd still rather have gone to Vegas. My mom has been talking about going and she wants to plan for next April. That will be great but I'm going to need a fix before then. I wish I someone that could go at anytime, I'd love to go for a weekend once a month or so. Oh well something to work on.
