Is Interior Painting cheaper in smaller cities?

How many quotes should I get for interior painting?

Two or three written quotes are enough to see the real market range. Compare the same scope side by side, and ask each provider what is excluded and what would change the price after the quote is accepted. The answer can shift with the Trenton market, so check locally.
