| Description: | Here is a list of questions to inquire with any painting contractor. These are paramount for a professional painting company. Is the exterior going to be pressure washed? Do they have a concept of a “soft clean” where necessary; as to not damage sensitive surfaces?
Will the painting contractor caulk or patch all voids to ensure a complete seal? If so what kind of caulk? There are many inferior grades on the market. Inferior caulk will fail after the painting contractor is gone; possibly causing moisture intrusion issues, wood rot repairs and costly damage.
Will your paint contractor use primer on raw surfaces? This is very important, if not, the paint will fail eventually.
Will the painting contractor sand the primer & clean the dust off before applying finish paint? Dust residue can cause paint failure or adhesion problems.
How many coats of finish paint will be applied? And what grade paint will be used? So many painting contractors try to cheat and use inferior paint or don’t apply enough paint. In the long run the customer pays! Choose a quality painting contractor to ensure longevity!
Will the paint contractor pick up daily or leave the job site cluttered overnight? Professional painting contractors clean up daily.
Will this painting contractor remove debris & excess materials when the project is finished? Costs may be incurred if you must dispose of paint or debris.
Be sure to ask, is the Jacksonville painting contractor offering any warranties? Is the paint manufacture offering any? |
