Snag-free hand-back is the bar: we walk the job with you before we leave. Exterior pricing factors: scaffold versus extension ladder access, masonry porosity, lichen treatment, and a fungicidal wash before stabilising. Bathroom and kitchen door & window painting usually means moisture-tolerant paint, mould-resistant caulk, and ventilation checks before we commit to a finish.
