Hiring A Residential Interior Painting Service? Questions You Should Ask Before Hiring A Company


If your home is looking tired, dull, or dirty, applying a new coat of paint to the walls can instantly transform it and liven it up. However, painting the entire interior of your home can be a huge project to complete yourself. As such, you may be looking to hire a residential interior painting service to paint for you. While there are many companies out that offer painting services, they are not all the same. Here are a few of the questions you should ask before hiring a company to help you hone in on the right company for you. 

What Is Included in the Price?

Before hiring residential interior painting contractors, you likely know to obtain estimates from a few different companies to find an affordable service. But when you are obtaining estimates, it is important to ask what all is included in the price. Is patching included in the price? What about priming? Does the estimate cover labor only or also the cost of paint and supplies? Learning what is and what is not included in the price helps you properly compare the estimates.

What Brand of Paint Do You Use?

Another important question to ask as you look hire a painting service is what brand of paint the painter uses. Some brands of paint are simply better quality than other brands. They may last longer and/or be easier to clean. Always research the brand of paint a company states they use and the reputation of the paint brand. 

How Will You Paint the Walls?

Paint can be applied to your walls using a paint sprayer or a roller. There are pros and cons to each option. Paint sprayers tend to be faster and provide a more even layer of paint, but they can also be messy. Always determine which option you prefer and then find a painting service that uses the painting technique you prefer. 

How Long Will the Project Take? 

The last question you should ask is how long it will take the service to paint your home's interior. Some companies may send one person to paint your home, while others may send a crew of multiple people. This affects how long it will take to paint your home. If you want your project completed fast, this is an important question to ask. 

Selecting a residential interior painting service to paint the inside of your home is a big decision. Knowing what questions to ask can help you to better identify the right painting company for you. For more information, contact local professionals like those found at Bessey  Painting.

About Me

A Rookie Mistake

A few years ago, my husband and I decided to repaint the inside of our home. Unfortunately, I didn’t have any experience painting the interior of a house at the time. Because I wanted to ensure I splashed enough paint on the walls, I ended up applying too thick of a coat of paint. To make matters worse, I didn’t properly allow the shelves in my master bedroom closet to dry before filling them with many of my prized handbags. As a result, some of these purses ended up getting stained with green paint. On this blog, I hope you will discover the benefits of hiring professional painters to paint the interior of your home. Enjoy!
