just a couple random questions as I get ready to move into my new apartment in a month and a half...
any ballpark estimates on how long to expect it to paint a 1200 sq ft apartment? kitchen, dining room, living room, 2 bedrooms, and a relatively long hallway. we plan on hiring professionals, but if the price it too high or they can't meet our schedule, we might have to end up doing it ourselves.
our move-in date is hopefully March 1st, but I'm giving my current landlord a couple bucks so we can stay in our current apartment until the 7th, giving us a week to pick out colors and get all the painting done. (we've got it narrowed down a bit now; presumably after getting the keys from the LL and christening the apartment, we'll immediately paint a few spots on the walls, decide on our final colors, and drive to Home Depot to buy actual cans of paint)
also, any suggestions on actual paint finishes? my big concern is high durability in the hallways, living room, and dining room (we're big party hosts, so I imagine at multiple points, we'll have drunk people stumbling around using the walls to keep from falling over). I'm not sure wtf my current living room is painted with, but it suuuucks. you touch that thing for a second and it lives a dark smudge on the walls.
