Typical range for this work. Your quote is fixed once we have seen the job.
Ceilings show every roller mark and every patch, so they are less forgiving than walls. Textured ceilings in homes built before the nineties should be tested before anyone starts sanding.
What moves the price
Why two quotes differ
Water staining
requires shellac-based stain-blocking primer before topcoats; omitting it causes stains to reappear within weeks
Textured pre-1990 ceilings (asbestos)
must be tested for asbestos, "$50-$150/sample", before any mechanical preparation begins
Access equipment
high ceilings above 3.5m require scaffolding or elevated platforms with separate hire costs
Downlights
extensive fixtures may incur "$5-$10" per unit for masking and cut-in work
