Please move all small items and breakables. Unless agreed otherwise, we will move and protect all of the furniture and fixtures.

Question 15

● What if I want to change something about the job or need some additional work done while the paint crew is already at my home?

Accepted Answer

Please let our office know about it or feel free to contact your estimator directly. Most of the time it is more cost-effective for us to make a change or do additional during the course of the project than to have us come back after the project is complete.

Question 16

● When I get different bids from several companies, they are never the same, some high, some low. Why is there such a price difference?

Accepted Answer

The cost of a job is usually determined by the level of thoroughness, attention to detail, and quality desired. It costs more to properly prepare a surface for painting than to just pressure clean and scrape the surface. The majority of the cost of painting is in the surface preparation and the labor involved in the application of the paint and not the actual cost of the paint itself. As with most other industries, generally you get what you pay for.

Question 17

● How long will it take for the paint to dry?

Accepted Answer

Acrylic (latex) paint dries much faster than Alkyd (oil). Usually a couple of hours is plenty of time. Oil paint though should dry overnight. Flat paint may dry faster than semi gloss.

Question 18

● When do I pay you?

Accepted Answer

A payment schedule is outlined in our contact. We will invoice you accordingly and will expect to be paid at that time.
