2) Will you give a warranty, guarantee or maintenance program? The quality of work should be guaranteed by any good painter. Many painters give guarantees, but some don't so it is worth checking. Some painters will attest to warranties on various paint products and will also provide warranties on their work. Likewise, some companies will be willing to return for a certain amount of time to fix any problems that occur after the job is finished.

3) Are there any products or colors you can recommend? A high quality painter or company can offer advice, warnings, tips and ideas because they are up-to-date on all the latest products colors and techniques. Explaining the difference between various paints and stains is something else a professional painter will do.

4) Do you have references you can provide? Some references from previous projects is something any painter you are considering should be able to provide. You should call some of these references and ask them about their experience.

Below are some questions you can ask these references:

Would you hire the painter for another job?

How was the price?

Did the paint hold up?

Were the painters professional?

Was the paint job finished by the deadline?

It also makes sense to talk to people who have had similar work done. Someone who had a small trim job done isn't going to work if you need your entire home painted.

5) How much will this project cost me? While cost is important, it shouldn't be your only consideration. The painter who give the lowest bid for the project often will provide low quality as well. When you ask for an estimate for your project, you may want to share your ballpark budget. Also, make sure all of your candidates are providing bids based on the same specifications as this will make it much easier to compare quotes. Size of project, the type of paint to be used and number of coats can all affect the estimates. A flexible, hourly bid can increase as the project continues so a flat rate bid is ideal.
