What to Ask Before Hiring a Painting Contractor

Most painting disputes trace back to questions that were never asked. Before any work begins, put these six to your contractor — a professional will answer all of them in writing without hesitation.

• Is the quote itemised per surface, with the exact product system named?
• Who supervises the crew daily, and how do I reach them?
• What surface preparation is included — putty, primer, crack treatment?
• How are my furniture and floors protected, and who cleans up?
• Is there a written warranty, and what exactly does it cover?
• What happens if the work fails a quality check?

PaintUp answers all six by default: itemised system-level quotes, a named supervisor, staged quality checks with photos, and a written per-surface warranty on every project.
