If the exterior or interior of your home could benefit from a little sprucing up, the first step in hiring a reliable painting contractor is requesting an estimate. According to Harbour Painting—a residential and commercial painting company serving New London County and the surrounding Connecticut areas—a painting quote should entail each service the painters plan to provide, as well as the tools or methods they will use.

What to Keep in Mind When Getting a Painting Quote

1. Ask Questions

While a painting contractor is performing a home inspection and calculating an estimate, take advantage of the opportunity to ask about anything you do not understand. Your prospective painting contractor should thoroughly address your concerns and direct you to resources you can explore on your own time.

2. Don’t Rush the Contractor

Allow your painting contractor a sufficient amount of time to make proper notes on your property. Usually, this involves measurements, a layout drawing of the area, and pictures or video. The more information they compile for your project, the more accurate your painting quote will be.

3. Pay Close Attention to Materials & Processes Mentioned

After inspecting your home, your painting contractor will explain the products and materials they plan to use on your project. This should include the brand of paint as well as its type, grade, and finish. They should then explain the steps of the proposed project and walk you through the process as a whole. At this stage, you will have another chance to voice your concerns.
