House Painting FAQs
Do painters supply the paint or should I buy it?
Many painters supply paint and include it in their quote, while others are happy to use paint you
have purchased. Supplying your own can give you more control over brand and sheen, but you should
confirm quantities and product types with the painter first.
How long will my home painting project take?
Time frames depend on how many rooms or external walls are included, the level of preparation and
whether the house is empty or occupied. Painters can give you an approximate schedule once they
have seen the property and agreed scope with you.
Do I need to move furniture before painting starts?
It is helpful to move smaller items away from walls and pack away fragile belongings. Some painters
move larger furniture away from work areas and cover it, while others ask you to prepare rooms
before they arrive. Check what your painter includes in their service.
What is the best paint for families and pets?
Many brands offer low odour and low volatile organic compound options that are more comfortable
during and after painting. You can ask painters to suggest products that suit your household and
any sensitivities you may have.
