Fresh paint can turn a dark, tired property into a brighter, more saleable home.
Here are some suggestions from the service providers on Angie’s List for anyone contemplating a paint job:
· If the home was built before 1978, hire a qualified lead specialist to examine the property for lead before you start the job.
· The contract should include a thorough description of the job and the products to be used, including the type and amount of surface preparation, priming and number of coats of paint. It also should specify the primer, the brand of paint, and the colors.
· Expect extra charges for crown molding, decorative woodwork, and walls and ceilings taller than 8 feet.
· Make certain whose responsibility it is to move furniture and whether there will be additional charges.
