Before you write
Three quick answers
What is in the written estimate?
Nine lines: surfaces and areas, repairs, coats, products and sheens, number of colors, protection and cleanup, schedule, payment schedule and warranty. Each one is filled in for your house, not left as a general phrase.
What if my house was built before 1978?
Federal rules apply to paid work that disturbs paint in homes and child-occupied buildings built before 1978. Tell us the year when you ask for an estimate. The firm's EPA lead-safe certification number is under Credentials, and we use lead-safe work practices on those homes: plastic containment, wet scraping and a HEPA vacuum, never dry sanding.
Do I have to move out or move the furniture?
No. You stay home. We move furniture to the middle of the room, cover it, and put it back at the end. Heavy pieces and anything fragile are best moved by you ahead of time; the estimate says which.
