What sets the price of painting in Barcelona
Painting has the most predictable budget of any trade, and also the one that springs the most surprises when it is not itemised. It is quoted per square metre, but that price assumes walls in reasonable condition and two coats. Anything outside that is charged separately: filling cracks, sanding, skimming, a dark colour that needs a third coat. And the factor that inflates the bill most without anyone mentioning it is having the house furnished — moving, covering and protecting takes hours, and hours are billed. If you can empty the rooms or group the furniture in the middle, say so before they price the job. It is the ideal trade to hire by the day: a room with sound walls is painted in a day. Here you can see 20 painters in Barcelona with day-by-day availability.
