Exterior Wooden Window-Frame Painting

Hi all, We are looking for a painter willing to take up the job to paint our exterior window frames in our Raetihi holiday-home. The job was started by yours truly, however with the previous paint being what looks like oil-based, it's much too thick and therefore time-consuming job for me. We have successfully used a heat-gun to strip some parts of the old paint. We have 1 triple window, 1 really long window, 5 double windows, and 6 single windows which each have a wooden frame. We are looking to have these stripped of old paint (if necessary) and any dings or imperfections filled/fixed prior to the new coats. If you're also up for it, resetting the glass in the frames as some of the current putty has chipped off, and other bits have mould growing (plus it's all just very old). The purpose for this is that a lot of the paint has already flaked off due to sun exposure, and our window frames are struggling through the winter months! We need it sealed up before we start to get water damage. We would be looking to have this complete by winter (as by that time the paint struggles to dry, anyway!). Preferably someone with an understanding of the weather conditions of the area. I have received a guesstimate quote of $750, however that was somebody coming down from Auckland. Open to offers/ quotes would be appreciated! Warm regards, Sarah
