Keith, just one post is all that's needed. Can you explain " and off of ladder" Also explain exterior or what how large and tall, what is the building made of, who does the prep and what type of paint. Add as much detail as you can. The paint can will tell you the coverage.

I need know what the to the going rate is for exterior painting, it is a 2 story home so there will be a majority of work that will be done off a ladder, the material is hardy plank.
For the most part there is minimal prep work to be done. I have not yet measured the total square footage. Was hoping you could give me the equation or going rate I could use once I come up with the actual square footage??

Rates vary so much we usuually aren't too helpful or accurate. Best bet is to get 3 bids and then decide if you want to try it or hire a bidder. Extremely low bids are not always the best deal.
