Give each surface its own plan.

Explore three painting scopes. A real estimate would follow an assessment of the property, access, existing coatings, and finish requirements.

Walls and ceilings, furniture protection, surface repairs, and the transition to trim. Include which rooms stay occupied during the work.

Doors, casings, baseboards, and cabinets. The material and existing finish need to be part of the assessment.

Siding and trim, access, landscaping protection, and weather-dependent scheduling. Discuss any older coatings before work starts.

A useful estimate explains the work.

Ask for surfaces, preparation, materials, exclusions, and the process for scope changes. Compare those details alongside the price.
