debit cards that you not require you to register with your Social Security number are not going to be usable outside the United States. these are the times where you just pay the cashier $500 +6 dollars fee and walk out. If you want a card that is usable outside United States it can only be done with one of the debit cards that you set up these are the times where you just pay the catcher $500 +6 dollars fee and walk out. If you want a card that is usable outside United States it can only be done with one of the debit cards that you set up almost like a bank account even though it s not a bank acct. AMEX and Visa MasterCard, Paypal have them. AMEX used to be called travel money. Typically you buy them for five to $20 at the cashier and then call the company and give them the same information that you would for a bank account and then you can add money.

That's very difficult to answer without seeing the house. As one poster said, the prep is the most important part. On newer homes that don't have a lot of peeling paint, the prep can be very minimal even as low as a couple or a few hundred dollars for the prep labor.

On a 100 year old home with 12 coats of peeling paint on it, then the prep costs can be very high and can easily exceed 50% of the job's labor cost.

A 2100 sq ft two story home could easily cost $1000 just for the labor to prep for the paint job. That number could climb too. Throw in lots of caullking or window glazing, and you could be talking a couple or a few hundred dollars more for labor.

Painting that home with one coat of paint and a different color on the trim could run roughly $1000 or more just for labor. Add a second coat and that could cost close to another $1000 for labor.

For paint, you may need 20 gallons of paint. You can pay from $30-$70 for a gallon of good quality exterior paint. The manufacturer of the paint should be specified in any painting contract. Otherwise, the contractor could bid at a Sherwin-Williams $60 per gallon paint and then paint the house with $35 Valspar and pocket the difference. $25 dollars per gallon times 20 gallons? That's a pretty penny too.

That was the long answer to your question. The short answer is $2000 to $4000 and up, depending upon the amount of prep, the number of coats, the amount of trim, and the paint used.
