QUESTIONS TO ASK
Questions to ask: interior wall repainting
Good contractor questions for interior wall repainting test how the work will actually be delivered. Start by asking who will inspect surface contamination, nail pops, cracks, and existing sheen, how findings will be documented, and what happens if the existing conditions differ from assumptions.
Questions about existing conditions
“Will you inspect surface contamination, nail pops, cracks, and existing sheen before finalizing the scope?” Ask what will be measured, photographed, or opened for verification and which assumptions remain provisional.
Questions about the proposed method
“How will you specify patching, caulking, primer, and finish-coat coverage?” Request an explanation of the assembly, trade responsibilities, material choices, and what will be inspected before work is covered.
Questions about disruption and inspection
“What is the sequence for plan room access, furniture protection, drying, and touch-up inspection?” Ask about access, temporary shutdowns, material delivery, protection, inspection scheduling, and cleanup.
Questions to ask before signing
“What happens if hidden conditions change the scope?” Skipping preparation can make fresh paint emphasize old defects. Confirm who approves changes, how pricing is documented, and what workmanship warranty and exclusions apply.
