Missing before price: hardware grade, target completion date, and whether disposal is required.

Hi [Name], I have the office as an 11-by-13-foot room with 8-foot walls. The outline includes protecting the floor, filling six small nail holes and the noted scrape, preparing the walls, and painting the walls light gray. The ceiling, trim, and closet are not included.

Because the current color is dark blue, I need to confirm whether a separate primer coat is required after a small coverage test. Please send your preferred paint brand and sheen, and confirm that the desk will be moved before work begins. I also noted that a weekend is preferred. Once those details are confirmed, I can finalize the materials and price.
