Painting
Painting is one of the most impactful home improvements by cost. It is also one of the easiest to do badly. Most painting failures trace back to preparation, not the paint itself. These guides help you hire a painter who does it right.
Paint is cheap. Labor is expensive. Prep is what separates a job that lasts 10 years from one that peels in two.
Most painting failures show up within two years. Almost all were preventable.
Painting quotes vary widely because what they include varies widely.
A $90/gallon paint applied over bad prep will fail. A $30/gallon paint on a properly prepared surface will last.
