My house just got some stucco work done. Basically it was replacing wood around windows with foam and concrete. Now I am repainting the house.
So most of the quotes I got is 2 coats of paint, say for me Sherwin William Emerald Rain Refresh, most painters estimated 35 gallons and 2 coats. I gave my job to a guy who quoted for $7300 instead of the other 2 for $9500. They all have 4.5-5 stars on Yelp.
I went on a trip while they were doing part of the job and come back today. I saw part of the house already painted the new color and the other part being painted as I walk around. I see that they spray, then another guy using a roller to roll it through almost immediately after. When the day end the painter (not the guy who gave me the quote) says they already applied 2 coats as the guy with the roller is doing it right after (instead of waiting 2-4 hrs for it to dry before the 2nd coat as Sherwin William says on the instruction).
Fortunately the paint is rated for 1 coat for repaint and 2 coats on bare surface (new stucco for example), and the guy doing it on new stucco says they will paint it again in a couple of days as they have paint shortage now.
I want to know, if you were me, knowing that SW says it is ok for 1 coat, but the quote says 2 coats, do you think you will ask the painter to do another coat or refund some money back to you (assuming it looks good for 1 coat). Color was changed from beige to baby blue, so far I haven't seen any spot with missing color yet.
Thanks
