As time goes by, you may realize that you need to have your home’s siding repainted. After all, siding with faded paint can negatively impact your home’s curb appeal and overall value. While it is possible to repaint your siding on your own, experts recommend that you don’t attempt it and instead you hire a professional to minimize the risk of mistakes. However, hiring a house painter isn’t exactly as simple as it sounds.

In this article, Austin Pro Siding, Windows & Roofing, one of the country’s leading siding and window companies, lists the four details you should never overlook if you’re looking to hire a house painter, starting with:

  1. The Fine Print – When you’re looking to hire a house painter, make sure to look at the fine print about what they aren’t liable for during the project. If this section is longer than the section that details their bid, it may not be a good sign and you should part ways with their company to look for a better house painter.
  2. A Detailed Description of How They’ll Prepare the Job Area – During the vetting process, make sure to ask your potential house painter for a detailed description of how they’ll prepare the job area. This should include scraping, sanding, grinding, siding replacement, caulking and even cleaning of the surface that will need to be painted. The reason why you need to ask for these details is so you can better compare them to your other options and properly determine which painter is the right one for you and your home.
  3. Painting Plan and Material Costs – Another detail you should avoid overlooking is a comprehensive account of their painting plan, which should include the number of coats for both primer and paint needed per surface. The cost of the materials needed should also be included in this. Again, this is so you can better compare your options with one another as one painter may budget for five cans of paint for one section while another may budget for ten and is use better paints.
  4. Protection Plan – Finally, you’ll also need to look for their plan to thoroughly protect you and your property. Your house painter should install protective tarps or covers around your home as exterior work can involve falling debris and lead paint if they’re scraping and sanding your siding.
