How to choose painters
- 1
Ask what prep is included
Good paint jobs are mostly prep: patching, sanding, caulking and taping. Ask exactly what each quote includes.
- 2
Ask about paint and coats
Quotes should name the paint brand and line, and how many coats. A cheaper quote with one coat is not the same job.
- 3
Ask about lead paint in older homes
If your home was built before 1978, the painter should be EPA lead-safe certified for work that disturbs old paint.
- 4
Check insurance
Ask for proof of general liability insurance before work starts.
FAQ
Questions about painters
How long does it take to paint a room?
A single average bedroom is often done in a day, including prep. Larger rooms, high ceilings or lots of trim take longer.
Should I buy the paint or let the painter buy it?
Either works. Many painters get a contractor discount, so letting them buy it can cost less. Just make sure the quote names the product.
Do I need to move my furniture?
Most painters move and cover furniture as part of the job. Small items and wall hangings are usually up to you. Ask when you get the quote.
Does it cost anything to use Job Hound?
No. Job Hound is free for homeowners, and pros never pay for leads.
