40-45 gals paint and no ceilings?

That does sound like a lot of paint for nine rooms. I can do the walls in a large room (300 square feet or so) with about two gallons and that's not being stingy with the paint. Multiply that by nine, it would be 18 gallons plus what you need for the hallways, foyer and stairs.

Assuming a couple of your rooms (bathrooms, e.g.) and especially the hallways would be on the low square footage side, it does seem like a lot of paint.

You don't need much paint for trim. A few gallons could probably do a whole house.

Maybe the 40-45 gallons includes primer as well?

We got three quotes:

High of 12,600
Guy we went with 10,000
Low bid 9,500

The guy in the middle just seemed like the I don't want to be your friend but I will do well sort of guy. That works for me.

I should mention that this is in Westchester County in NY. They are doing the entire job in 4 days. 2 coats of paint, trim, the entire interior of a 6000 sqft home (5000 above grade)
