During the first 10 minutes on the project start date is when you will meet with the Job Site Supervisor to be able to review the contract, ask any questions, address any concerns, and go over the project plan. Then during the last 10 minutes, you will be able to review all the work that was completed with the Job Site Supervisor or Project Manager to ensure your complete satisfaction.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How long will it take to finish interior painting?\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The time it takes to paint your home\u2019s interior depends on the size of the painting project and the size of the crew we put on your project.\u00a0 In general, our average crew of 3 painters can paint two 12 x 12 rooms (walls and trim) per day.\u00a0 Because we have both large and small painting crews, we can put a larger crew on a project if you need it done faster.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here\u2019s a general idea of how an interior project progresses:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Painters move the furniture to the center of room(s) and drape the furniture with plastic.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Colors sampled and finalized, and wall preparation begins.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Holes in drywall, plaster or horsehair plaster are repaired and sanded.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wood trim is sanded<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Primer is applied either as a spot prime on areas that were repaired, or as a full prime when changing wall color drastically.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1-2 coats of a premium quality paint are applied to walls and trim.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Touch ups are done after customer inspection is complete.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What do I look for in a good interior painting company?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It can be incredibly stressful to paint the interior of your Virginia home. One thing that can make it incredibly more difficult is hiring the wrong house painters. Fortunately, this is something that can be easily avoided by doing just a little bit of the right research.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Look in Your Price Range: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The most important part of any project is staying on budget. Painting is no different! Set up a general budget for your painting project before even contacting any painting companies. Then, request 3-5 estimates from paint companies you are considering.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Review Painting Services:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The next step in hunting for the right house painter is to review the services each company can offer. Painting a house typically will require a bit more work than you initially think. Power washing, sanding, and repairs are pretty common for both interior and exterior projects. We recommend choosing a company that can take care of all of these things for you.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Check out the Reviews:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Our last tip is to look at what their previous clients have said about their work. This is probably one of the most important ways to get a sense of what the company will be like if you choose them for your project. Reviews can often be found on a website, Google, and Yelp. You may also want to check in on their rankings with the BBB!\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How do I get an estimate for painting my home?\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most professional painting companies will offer you a free in-home estimate.
