Name what gets painted and what does notList walls, ceilings, doors and trim individually. Mark stained wood, hardware and built-ins needing protection. Repainting a room does not imply painting all its woodwork. For connected hallways or stairs, agree how new color meets retained finishes and where the scope stops.
Discuss the wall beneath the current finishDescribe cracks, old patches, texture differences and stains. Share reliable material or repair information without guessing. Ask which preparation is included. Recurrent cracks or moisture marks may have causes painting cannot resolve; they need a plan rather than simply being covered over.
Resolve unknowns before preparation beginsRaise uncertain coating age or history during the estimate discussion. Resolve applicable requirements and needed qualified assessment before sanding or other preparation is chosen. Property age alone does not establish a coating’s composition. Keep ordinary repaint preparation separate from work requiring different assessment or capability.
Coordinate color, access and daily routinesReview samples beside retained woodwork under normal lighting and discuss sheen by surface. Agree furniture-moving responsibilities, protection and cleanup. Identify rooms and routes that must stay available. Include other repairs in sequencing and ask about return to use and cleaning for the selected coating.
