Frequently Asked Questions
Painting costs depend on surface area, preparation, repairs, number of coats, paint quality, ceiling height, access and whether rooms are occupied. Compare estimates that clearly state preparation and products.
Preparation may include protecting floors and furniture, cleaning, scraping, sanding, filling holes, repairing drywall, caulking, spot priming and applying a full primer where needed.
The number of coats depends on colour changes, surface condition, paint quality and whether primer is required. Ask the painter to specify primer and finish coats in the estimate.
Many painting companies complete minor drywall patching and surface repairs. Larger damage, water issues or extensive finishing may require a drywall specialist before painting.
Exterior paint needs suitable temperature, dry surfaces and manageable humidity or wind. The contractor should schedule work according to local weather and product specifications.
