Questions Homeowners Ask Before Requesting An Estimate

Are these Garretson Painting prices?

No. They are broad Franklin-area planning ranges. Garretson Painting should inspect the actual project and provide a written estimate.

Why can two estimates be far apart?

The scopes may include different preparation, repairs, surfaces, products, coats, protection, cleanup, and warranty terms.

Does the estimate include paint?

Confirm the manufacturer, product line, sheen, primer, and number of coats in writing.

Can hidden damage change the price?

Yes. The estimate should explain allowances and how additional work will be approved and priced.

How can I compare bids fairly?

Compare the same surfaces, preparation, products, repairs, protection, cleanup, and warranty rather than only the total.
