Offer a smaller exterior paint without cutting corners
Use this when the full price is why they went quiet. Take a real line out. Do not lower the number and leave the same work in.
Names, prices, and companies on this page are examples.
The line you can remove
A smaller version leaves out the detached shed, which was not part of the walk. The full $6,450 price includes scrape, prime, and two coats on the siding, trim, and the garage door walked that day.
What you will not do
The gap between paint bids is usually hours of prep, not the gallons. Do not cut the price by quietly skipping the primer.

A smaller version of the exterior paint
Hi James, If the full exterior paint at $6,450 is more than you want to do right now, I can price it without the detached shed, which was not part of the walk. I will not drop the number and leave that work in. Thanks, Mike Chen Harbor Painting
