Frequently asked questions
Do painters fix cracks and holes before painting?
Good ones do — prep is most of the job. Standard prep includes filling small cracks and holes, sanding, caulking gaps, and spot-priming. What's usually excluded: major plaster repairs, water-damage remediation, and wallpaper removal, which are quoted separately. Ask the quote to state the prep level explicitly; 'paint over as-is' versus 'fill, sand, and prime' can be half the price difference between two quotes.
Should I move furniture before the painters arrive?
Clear small items, valuables, and wall hangings yourself; painters typically move large furniture to the room centre and sheet it as part of the job. Confirm this when booking — some charge extra for furniture moving, and empty rooms are always cheaper and faster to paint. For whole-house jobs, discuss room sequencing so you can keep living around the work.
What is the difference between matt, eggshell, satin, and gloss finishes?
Sheen level. Matt hides wall imperfections best but marks more easily — the default for ceilings and low-traffic walls. Eggshell and satin have a slight sheen and wipe clean, suited to halls, kitchens, and kids' rooms. Gloss and semi-gloss are the hardest-wearing, used on woodwork, doors, and trim. Higher sheen shows surface flaws more, so prep matters more as you go glossier.
Is it worth paying more for premium paint?
Usually yes for high-traffic areas and exteriors. Premium lines cover better (sometimes saving a coat), scrub clean without burnishing, and hold colour longer outdoors. On a professional job, labour dominates the price — upgrading paint might add a small percentage to the total while meaningfully extending repaint intervals. Save budget paint for low-traffic ceilings and rental refreshes.
When is the best time of year to paint the exterior?
Exterior paint needs dry surfaces and temperatures roughly between 10-30C (50-85F) without rain for 24 hours after application, so the local dry season or settled summer months are ideal. Painters' calendars fill in peak season — booking exterior work a month or two ahead gets better pricing and scheduling. Interiors are painted year-round and some painters discount interior work in their off-season.
Is my US home covered by the lead paint (RRP) rule?
If it was built before 1978 and the job disturbs more than minor amounts of painted surface, yes — the contractor must be an EPA Lead-Safe Certified Firm and follow containment practices. Ask for the certification number; fines for uncertified work are significant and the dust risk to children is real.
What do painters charge per hour vs per square foot in the US?
Hourly rates run about $25-$75, but most interior work is bid at $2-$6 per square foot of floor area or per room ($300-$800 for a standard bedroom). Whole-interior repaints of a 3-bed home typically land between $2,500 and $8,000 depending on prep, ceilings, and trim.
