🎨 The cheapest painting estimate isn’t always the cheapest in the end.
When comparing painting estimates, don’t just look at the number at the bottom. Ask what’s actually included.
✔️ What prep work will be done?
✔️ Are cracks, nail holes, and imperfections repaired?
✔️ What type and quality of paint is being used?
✔️ How many coats are included?
✔️ Are surfaces being properly cleaned and prepared?
Two estimates may look like they’re for the exact same job, but what goes into that job can be completely different.
A beautiful, long-lasting paint job starts before the first coat ever goes on.
Good prep isn’t the exciting part you see in the finished photos, but it’s one of the biggest reasons those finished photos look so good. 🎨🏠
When you hire a painter, don’t be afraid to ask questions. A professional should be happy to explain their process.
