Essential Questions to Ask When Hiring an Exterior Painter

Whether you want to repaint your home’s interiors or exteriors, it takes careful planning and consideration. At this stage, you’ll determine the details of the scope of your project, such as peeling any existing wallpaper/paint and how many rooms will be painted. Depending on your renovation plans, extensive carpentry may also be needed on some of the affected walls and ceilings in your home.

Working with a trusted painter makes this easier as they’ll guide you throughout the whole process. As trusted painters and window installers, Austin Pro Siding, Windows & Roofing explains how you can hire the right contractor for the job:

Do Your Research

Knowing what needs to be done on your repainting project helps you figure out how much you’ll need to spend on the repairs before repainting commences. When looking for prospects who can do your project, make sure you get at least three estimates from contractors who have a good reputation. You can research online on who are the top contractors in your area, but you can also talk to your friends and neighbors about who they recommend for your repainting project.

Essential Questions to Ask

It’s also important to compile a list of questions to ask potential contractors for your repainting job. Some of the most common questions include:

  • “Do You Have Insurance?” – Professional roofers and painters carry at least two types of insurance as required by most jurisdictions. When hiring a painter, they should have at least general liability insurance to protect you from any damage done during the process. This type of insurance will cover the repair costs in case an accident occurs and your property was damaged.
  • “What Paint Brands Do You Offer?” – To avoid getting cheap and low-quality paints for your renovation project, make sure to ask what type of brands they offer. Top-quality paints are strongly recommended so that you won’t have to worry about repainting for at least a couple of years.
  • “Can You Show Me Your Credentials?” – When hiring a painter, it’s also important to ask for their business license. Some jurisdictions require this so that you know that you’re working with a state-licensed and registered contractor.
