What to Know Before Hiring a House Painter

Hiring a painting company isn’t just about finding someone who can apply paint—it’s about trusting a team to transform your home, protect your property, and deliver results that last. At Campbell Paint Company, we want homeowners to feel confident and informed before choosing a contractor.

✅ Experience with Residential Homes

Ask if the painter has specific experience with home interiors, exteriors, cabinets, or special surfaces like stucco or brick. Residential painting requires a detail-oriented approach, especially in lived-in spaces.

✅ Licensing, Insurance, and Safety

A trustworthy painter should be fully licensed and insured. This protects your home, your family, and the workers. Don’t be afraid to request proof before work begins.

✅ Prep Work is Key

Proper preparation makes all the difference. Find out if the painter will clean, sand, repair cracks, and tape off trim before painting begins.

✅ Transparent Pricing

Look for a clear, written estimate. Make sure it includes labor, materials, number of coats, and any repairs. Watch out for low-ball quotes that skip proper prep or use low-grade materials.

✅ Quality of Paint

High-quality paint lasts longer and looks better. Ask what brands they use and why. At Campbell Paint Company, we only use premium, proven paints for long-term results.

✅ Timeline and Clean-Up

Discuss the project timeline and make sure daily cleanup is included. You shouldn’t be left with a mess or delays.

✅ Reviews and Referrals

Check for recent reviews and photos of past home projects. A quality contractor will have a portfolio and happy clients willing to speak on their behalf.
