What moves the price here
Four things push a job to the top of that range, and none of them are specific to Denver-Aurora-Centennial: going lighter over a dark existing colour, which can add a third coat; ceilings above eight feet or a stairwell, which slow a crew down disproportionately; walls that need real filling and sanding rather than a quick wipe; and heavy trim or panelled doors, which are slow, detailed work measured in linear feet rather than area. The wage is local. The reasons a quote comes in high are the same everywhere.
