Does this estimate seem high?

To scrape, prime, and paint the 4 two-story columns in front of our house: $1300.

We're geting a second estimate, I'm hoping it's much lower. I'd do the job myself if it wasn't lead paint.

That sounds high to me, but the fact that it's lead paint might make it pricier. I hope you get a lower estimate from the other people!

It's a little high sounding, but then you mentioned the lead paint.

There are a lot of special precautions and different steps they have to take with lead paint. In my HCOL area it seams just fine.

The thing is, the lead paint aspect was barely factored into the estimate. It just says they'll clean it up (we don't have stringent requirements like Mass. and other states). I'll let you know how the second estiamte is....
