   Serhan, I would have suggested that you hire a painting contractor for the painting job and then another contractor, who works on floors, for the flooring job. So, you need to consult a remodeling contractor to do something like this–to do the flooring and painting–since it usually requires a lot of trades, and a remodeling contractor usually handles all of such trades, making it–in theory–cheaper to pay one contractor as opposed to paying each specialized-trade contractor.

   Fortunately, there are plenty of local remodeling contractors seeking to give free estimates with no obligation. Here’s a great link to a handyman site that offers free very resourceful information to assist you in your project, and, ultimately, select a local remodeling contractor in an effort to get the best deal for you:

   REMODELING CONTRACTOR INFO:

   A local remodeling contractor can easily assist you in this project of yours. If you negotiate well with the contractor and he buys the building materials for you (i.e., whatever materials you may need for the flooring AND painting, etc.), you may try to have him pass the discounted cost of the materials to you in exchange for giving him the job, as usually contractors get discounts (called "contractor’s discounts" or "contractor’s price") when buying from suppliers because of the many purchases they make as required by their jobs.

   I’m sure you’ll find the information you need, specifically the tips found in the linked article, useful as it relates to being treated fairly by contractors and exploring the consumer-wise approach of getting free written estimates to find the best contractor in your area.

   Good luck!

   It totally depends on exactly where you live some parts of the country it could run $30,000+ in others it go for as little as $8000. I would check local paint stores they usually have a list of local painters that use their store or a bulletin board for business cards. These painters are more likely to be flexible on price as opposed to a painter found in the yellow pages. There are lots of hungry painters and tile guys kicking around after the housing bubble burst the important thing is don’t hire a company that isn’t licensed and bonded that can introduce a whole other set of headaches. A fly by night operation can end up costing you more money than if you just hired a legal company.

   What you need to do is get a few estimates from some local companies let them know you are looking for rental grade work and materials and that you have bid offers from a few other people. They will probably want to see the place to give you an estimate if they try to charge you for a bid tell them you aren’t interested. When you ask for a bid also ask for their payment terms in writing. You need to determine when and how much they get paid upfront most companies already have a policy based on material costs and a percentage of the labor that can add up to 1/3 to 1/2 the price of the job. Do not make your final payment until you are satisfied with the work most SCC judges look at a bill paid in full as a satisfied customer. If you are under time constraints apply that to the contract and make a financial penalty for each day it is late. Get everything in writing before you pay anything
