How pricing works in Shirley.
Your quote in Shirley is built from the job itself, not a rate card. Three things drive it:
Size & surfaces
How many rooms or walls, ceiling heights, and whether woodwork and ceilings are included.
Condition & prep
Cracks, old wallpaper, flaking paint or bare plaster — honest prep needs, priced up front.
Paint & access
Trade paint choice (or supply your own), and anything needing ladders, towers or scaffold.
Finishes matched to every surface.
Sheen, durability, washability — the right finish depends on the room. Here's the quick guide we use when speccing your Shirley project.

Many leases require notice or consent for internal decorating — we'll help you check what applies and factor any lead time into your schedule.
