Score your painters before you sign.
Sixteen checks, three columns, one printable page.
How to use it: type up to three painters' names, check off what each one gives you, and compare the scores. Print it and keep it with your quotes. A missing check is a question to ask, not automatically a deal-breaker.
Homeowner questions
What is the most important thing to check before hiring a painter?
Insurance you can confirm, sent directly by the insurer or agent. It protects you if someone is hurt or your property is damaged.
How many painters should I compare?
Two or three is usually enough, as long as each one prices the same written list of rooms, surfaces and products.
