How to Hire a Painter

Painting your house is kind of like buying a car. Most people only do it every 4-7 years. How did you pick your last car? Chances are you did not go to the yellow pages, choose a dealership at random, and buy your car from the first lot you visited. Many times, though, this scenario describes the way homeowners find a painter -- they look in the phone book and call the painter with the largest ad or the first one listed. But much like purchasing a car, finding a qualified painter requires research and comparison shopping.

Ask Questions

WILL THEY PRIME BEFORE CAULKING AND PAINTING?

All bare surfaces require a primer; previously painted surfaces really do not require primer.

HOW DO THEY PLAN TO PREPARE THE SURFACE FOR PAINTING?

Proper prep work is the key to a long lasting paint job. Make sure your contractor has a clear plan for washing, scraping, and sanding the surface.

WHAT AREAS ARE THEY PLANNING TO CAULK?

The most common cause of paint failure is due to moisture from water going behind the paint. For that reason caulking all joints, seams, gaps, and cracks in the surface is a must to ensure a tight seal.

WHAT KIND OF PAINT DO THEY PLAN TO USE? WHAT ARE YOUR OPTIONS?

Good quality paint will be recommended by good painters, you probably don't need the most expensive product, but don't cheap out on this either. Make sure the painter can explain the benefits of the paint they are recommending and ask for documentation of any manufacturers warranty info and product data.
