When it's time to upgrade your home, one of the easiest ways to do so is with a quality paint job. From the exterior to the interior, professional painters can make your home or business space look new again. Before you schedule a painting project, you should have a few questions ready for a potential contractor. Here are some questions to ask your local painting company.

1. How Long Have You Been in Business?

According to Zippia, over 5,420 painting contractors were in business in the U.S. as of 2023. With so many contractors to choose from, an easy way to narrow it down is by asking about their expertise. A company that's been around for several years or even decades can have more experience doing a fast, efficient, and professional-looking paint job. They also have more experience in advising you on color style and design. Plus, it will be easier to get more reviews and references to validate their experience.

2. Do You Offer Services Beyond Painting?

Don't be surprised if your prospective painting contractor provides other services for your home or business. Many painters have gotten involved in pressure or power washing to clean the exterior of your home or business structure. They may also be able to stain your kitchen cabinets or floors for a dramatic effect.

3. How Soon Can You Start?

Are you itching to get your home repainted this summer? Some painting contractors may be booked due to high demand during the renovation season. However, there are those with enough flexibility and manpower to offer same-day service. In our experience, even if you have walls with worn-down wallpaper, you might have freshly painted walls in a trendy color within a few days.

4. Do You Offer Discounts?

Don't be afraid to inquire about discounts. Your local painting company may offer discounts to seniors and veterans. They may also offer a discount for first-time customers, so don’t be afraid to ask!

As you can see, you should have a few questions prepared when looking for the right professional painter for your needs. Luckily, our team looks forward to answering any questions, as we've been in the business for 20 years and provide same-day service. Contact us at F & L Painting LLC for a consultation.
