When is a painting contractor in NYS suppose to charge sales and use tax? A legitimate painting company working in New York will be licensed, have a tax i.d number, have a federal employee i.d number, and have insurance.

Wood siding—planks, shakes, shingles or clapboard—is still the most common type and is generally thought of as the most sophisticated look for higher-end or historic homes. Depending on how it's forested, wood can be a renewable resource, too, and therefore a good “green” option. But wood is also the most vulnerable to insects, moisture  and the elements. Swings in temperature and humidity

How detailed is the painting contractors estimate? Is is based on time and materials? Or is it one price? Does the estimate break down the work by the various rooms to be painted and the necessary preparation?  Or does it not provide any detail?
