Home Improvement Contractor - Licensed Contractors

What would a contractor charge to paint three rooms and put up a drywall ceiling in one?

I had three rooms painted 14x21, 11x21, 11x14. The contractor put a drywall ceiling in the 14x21 room, and some scraping from water damage in the rest. I want to know what the average cost for this job should of been. This was just a 3rd of the job, the whole job involved fixing a leaking roof, replacing gutters, and insulating the house. It was all under one insurance claim.

1. I'm a little confused. It's just paint and drywall. Why would you pay anyone to do this?
2. Our average cost is $65 per room. That is just for labor. Why not call some contractors (in phone book) or handymen and get some estimates. You could also advertise on Craig List under the wanted category.
3. $3500.00
4. SPJ, since your project involves various trades (painting, drywall installation, etc.), your best bet may be to stick to one contractor--a remodeling contractor--to safe on costs, as usually paying one contractor turns out to be cheaper than paying several, and remodeling contractors usually handle more thna one trade.

If you negotiate well with the contractor and he buys the materials for you (i.e., paint, etc.), you may try to have him pass the discounted cost of the materials to you in exchange for giving him the job, as usually contractors get discounts (called "contractor's discounts" or "contractor's price") when buying from suppliers because of the many purchases they make as required by their jobs.
