10 Questions to Ask Your Interior House Painter
Posted on November 4, 2019
1. Can you provide a detailed and written quote outlining all the specifications and ALL prices for the project, including paint and labor?
2. Which paint product will you be using to paint my home? For example, a painter should not just write: “Sherwin Williams Paint” but “Sherwin Williams Duration Home.” This is because each brand of paint (such as Sherwin Williams and Benjamin Moore) has many grades of paint from cheap to expensive and fair to excellent. You want to ensure you’re getting a great paint grade so the paint job lasts longer.
3. How soon can you get this project done? This is especially important if you are counting on your walls being painted when you are having a party. At CertaPro Painters, we usually have a “rush crew” standing by for “last minute” projects and emergencies. And yes, your mother-in-law coming to visit counts as an emergency!
4. Is there a designer on staff to help me choose colors for my interior painting? At CertaPro Painters of the South Shore, we have in-home designer who helps our customers choose interior and exterior colors free of charge.
5. Do you provide free large color samples (8” x 8”) so I don’t have to choose the color from a small paint chip? We’re so passionate about you getting the color right we’ll even provide free large color samples for do-it-yourselfers. Just email us and we’ll mail them out to you within a week, free of charge.
6. Can you install interior moldings (baseboard, crown, trim, window sills) before you paint?
7. How is payment handled? Is there a deposit needed? Can I pay by credit card? Do you provide financing (i.e. no interest for 6 months)? Do you offer any discounts?
8. Do you offer a written warranty on the painting?
9. Can I get references or read reviews from some of your recent customers?
10. How soon can I schedule a quote? By the way, if you can’t find a convenient time using our online scheduler, email [email protected] and we’ll get you right in!
If you have any questions, even if you’re doing the painting yourself, email Paige at [email protected]. We’re happy to help.
