Confirm what surfaces are included, how prep is handled, what repairs are excluded, and how changes are documented.
Discuss scheduling, access, pets, tenants, business hours, parking, cleanup, weather windows, and communication preferences.
Ask painters directly about license, insurance, references, products, warranties, and who will be on site instead of relying on unverified directory claims.
Screening questions
Ask about cleaning, sanding, caulking, priming, drywall repair, stain blocking, and surface protection.
Ask what is included, what may change price, whether materials are specified, and how added work is approved.
Discuss weather, drying time, occupied rooms, business hours, tenant access, move dates, or HOA approvals.
Confirm credentials, insurance, references, payment terms, warranty details, and cleanup expectations directly with the painter.
Common questions
No. Availability, fit, pricing, and acceptance must be confirmed with the painter.
