What a house painter serving 27109 actually does

A pro painter's job is mostly prep, not paint: washing, sanding glossy/peeling areas, scraping, patching nail holes and drywall damage, caulking trim seams, masking floors and fixtures, priming bare or stain-prone areas, then finally rolling, brushing, or spraying two coats of finish. On exteriors, that prep includes a full pressure wash, scraping any peeling sections to bare wood, spot-priming with a bonding primer, and re-caulking every trim seam — typical exterior jobs are 3–5 days for a 1,700 sq ft home. The most common scope inflation is "spraying" cabinets without sanding/de-glossing first; it looks great for six months and then peels. Lead-paint disclosures are required for any pre-1978 home (EPA RRP rule) and a properly-trained painter will follow a containment protocol.

Six questions before you hire

  1. How many coats of finish, and is the primer included or extra?
  2. What brand and product line are you using? (Sherwin-Williams Emerald, Benjamin Moore Aura, and Behr Ultra are all premium tiers.)
  3. Are you EPA RRP-certified for lead-paint work? (Required for pre-1978 homes.)
  4. How will you prep glossy or peeling surfaces — sanding, de-glossing, bonding primer?
  5. What's included in the prep (caulking, drywall patches, masking, removing outlet covers)?
  6. What's the workmanship warranty, and what triggers a re-do (peeling, cracking, drips)?
A bid that's 40% lower than competitors almost always means thinned paint, one coat instead of two, or skipping primer on patched areas — and it shows within a year.
