Scope pitfalls to agree up front
- Changing from gloss to satin or water-based paint needs proper preparation; check it's included.
- Counting doors and frames separately helps make quotes comparable.
Comparing quotes
- How many coats are quoted, and is a mist coat on new plaster included?
- Is surface preparation (filling, sanding, caulking) itemised?
- For outside work, who arranges access equipment and what happens on rain days?
What to include in your job post
- Rooms or elevations, and whether it is walls, ceilings, woodwork, or all three.
- Who supplies paint, and the brand or colour if already chosen.
- The state of surfaces: filler needed, peeling paint, stains, previous wallpaper.
- Furniture that will stay in the room, and any height or access limits.
