Your house is your most valuable possession, and so its important that any work thats done on it is done right, and will still look good years from now. Doing it yourself can be a way to save money, but unless you have an experienced painter to help you it is a good idea to hire a professional to come in and make sure its done properly. Before you go out and hire someone, here are a few important rules to keep in mind.

The first step to make is to decide which areas of your home need painted. One important thing that will play into this, are there any simple home improvements that need to be done before paint can go on? Molding repair, replacing or patching damaged drywall, or doors that need replacing are all things to be paid attention to.

Next, decide what colors and paints you want to use. You can get paint charts for all major brands at general home centers or paint stores. The painter you hire may also have suggestions - take these seriously.

Now things start really moving. This is where you start calling and get bids together for your job. Below weve got some of the questions to ask, but first you need to know how to find the right companies to call. Dont forget to ask friends and neighbors, but unlike in the past the yellow pages really arent your best bet anymore. With the community online now giving impartial reviews, youre better off using yelp.com or www.angieslist.com to find good painting contractors in the east side. For more ideas on how to find good painters around the Redmond area, go to www.housepaintingredmond.com.

Now comes the part where you collect the quotes. One really important thing to keep in mind, is to make sure theyre quoting on the same specs for the job. Make sure theyll all bidding on the same areas to paint, the same number of coats, etc. Always get at least two or three bids, and look for an average. If one has an unusually low bid, be suspicious. Ask the painters for references and contact them. Were the customers happy with the job? Did the painter complete the project in a timely and professional manner?

Once you have the quotes, select a painter based on price, track record and your impressions. Sit down with the contractor you've chosen and create a contract specifying the work to be done, total cost, payment schedule, start date and estimated completion date. Its also really important to make sure the contractor puts down what kind of paint theyre going to be using on the job. You want to make sure theyre using something quality that wont start looking bad in a few years. Its also really important to make sure the contract includes that the painter is responsible for cleanup, and taking all the stray paint from the windows, floors, etc.

Before the painter comes, get all the furniture out of the room to leave room for them to work. Anything that cant be taken out of the room should be moved to the center, and covered with drop cloths to keep them from getting damaged.
