Painting Help

Plan your painting project with fewer surprises

Use these quick guides to prepare your scope, compare painters, and request a quote with the details pros need to respond clearly.

What to include in a quote request

Share the project city, surfaces, approximate size, timing, property type, prep needs, access details, and photos when possible.

Note wall repairs, trim, ceilings, color changes, furniture movement, and whether rooms must remain usable during the project.

Mention siding material, height, peeling paint, caulking, repairs, staining, weather timing, and any difficult access areas.

Cabinet projects need details about material, finish condition, number of doors, hardware, color, sheen, and whether spraying is possible.

Ask about prep standards, products, crew size, schedule, warranty, insurance, cleanup, change orders, and what is excluded.

Compare scope line by line. A lower number may exclude prep, premium coatings, repairs, second coats, protection, or cleanup.

Submit the project once and include as much detail as you can. Better details help painters respond with better next steps.
