Common questions
How many painting quotes can I receive?+
KeyTrade can invite up to three suitable tradies. The number received depends on availability, service area and how clearly the job is scoped.
Why do painting quotes vary so much?+
Preparation, repairs, coating system, number of coats, access and protection can change the labour and material allowance substantially. A shared scope makes those differences visible.
Do I have to accept a quote?+
No. Posting a job is free and there is no obligation to accept a quote.
