How long does it take to paint a house?

Or perhaps my question is “am I being jerked around?” I hired a painting company and the crew manager said they would come out and powerwash on a friday and then start to paint on a Monday (Jul 23). No one showed up so he said Wed, then Thurs, then Fri. Finally, after complaining, someone comes out to powerwash on Jul 29. Painters come Monday and work thru Thurs. The painters on his crew quit and it’s now Aug 6 and my house is partially painted. (Of course, he says they are coming out tomorrow or the next day). Is this a typical housepainting experience? I’ve never had a house painted before so I have no idea. The contract only indicates the job to be completed in the summer, but I find the drawing out the dates like that to be not very professional. It’s a national company by the way that hires college kids.

Some houses it takes longer than others. Some painters are slower than others. To be honest if you didn’t have a pro. do it you might be in trouble.

The pressure washing you might be at their will no this is not have specific start date after the pressure washing you could try to let things thoroughly dry if you approve or drop them to finish date after the weather can affect the weather.
The start and no this is not normal business days to finish the weather can push the start date then.
