Giving a Quote

When providing a quote to a prospective client make sure that it list clearly the scope of the project, the cost for materials, and labor, and completions time line.

It should be in writing.  Many homeowners will get two or more quotes before they will select the painter to do the job.

​They will normally choose the one that will give the best price possible and greatest level of quality. www.oceanasolutions.org/things-to-remember-when-painting-a-commercial-building/

Accepted Quote

Once the quote is accepted and deposit or down payment is paid, the painter has to purchase the right amount of paint in the color(s) that the homeowner requested.

​In the quote, some painters will write down the exact shade(s) and brand of paint the homeowner requested.

​The painter will decide which paint and primer is suitable for the job.

How much preparation is required before the inside of the house can be painted will vary according to the job.

​Paint The Basement

The basement is a good feature to possess in any house you might reside in. For many people it is a large storage area for extra boxes and things which they don’t want to find a place for round the home.

For others it can be a great space to be able to utilize if you want a place to play video games or an area for the kids to run around and play all day long.
​
This means you will have to finish the room. This is a long procedure and it's going to require for you to add a bit of color and flare.

Primer

Dark colors might be fun - but in a room that has no natural light it can be fairly suffocating and annoying. Especially for kids.

When the primer has been given at least a day to dry you can be able to roll on the paint. Make sure that this is waterproof and that you apply it on evenly.

Let the very first coat dry wholly and than you will have the ability to apply the 2nd coat to the basement walls. You might need to put on two or three coats before you are happy with the result.
