10 QUESTIONS TO ASK A PAINTER BEFORE HIRING FOR YOUR NEXT PROJECT
Choosing the right house painter is one of the most important decisions you’ll make when remodeling or refreshing your home. A great painter transforms your space. A bad one wastes your money, your time, and your peace of mind.
If you want a flawless finish, zero stress, and a job done once—and done perfectly—these 10 questions will help you separate real professionals from risky painters.
At House of Bami Interiors, we believe every homeowner deserves premium painting, transparency, and world-class interior finishing. Before you hire anyone, ask these:
𝟏. 𝐀𝐫𝐞 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐚 𝐑𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐏𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐖𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐚 𝐕𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐞𝐝 𝐏𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐟𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐨?
A professional painter should have:
A registered business
Documented past work
Before and after photos
Client reviews
Why it matters: This protects you from unskilled, experimental painters who may disappear at any moment
𝟐. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐏𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦 𝐨𝐫 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐃𝐨 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐔𝐬𝐞?
A pro painter must be able to explain:
Preparation (sanding, washing, filling, priming)
Type of paint suitable for your walls
Step-by-step procedure
Why it matters: A flawless painting job is 70% preparation and 30% painting. If they can’t explain their process, they don’t have one.
𝟑. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐓𝐲𝐩𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐏𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐭 𝐃𝐨 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐝 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐖𝐡𝐲?
A good painter should know:
The best brands for Nigerian climate
Difference between emulsion, satin, matte, gloss, textured paint, stucco, POP-friendly paint, etc.
Why it matters: The wrong paint leads to peeling, fading, cracks, and stains.
𝟒. 𝐃𝐨 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐎𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫 𝐚 𝐖𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐧 𝐄𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐁𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐝𝐨𝐰𝐧?
The right painter must include:
Materials list
Labour cost
Timeline
Total budget
Why it matters: This prevents last-minute price inflation and hidden charges.
𝟓. 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐋𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐖𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐉𝐨𝐛 𝐓𝐚𝐤𝐞?
A painter should give:
Clear start date
Clear end date
Daily work time
Why it matters: Delays can disrupt your home, business, or renovation plans. Professionals always work with timelines.
𝟔. 𝐃𝐨 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐇𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐥𝐞 𝐒𝐮𝐫𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐨𝐫 𝐑𝐞𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐫𝐬?
Quality painting starts with:
Filling cracks
Smoothing surfaces
Treating dampness
Fixing rough screeding
Why it matters: If they don’t prepare walls properly, your paint won’t last 6 months. Preparation determines durability.
𝟕. 𝐀𝐫𝐞 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐨𝐫 𝐃𝐨 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐆𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐞 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤?
Professionals give guarantees because they trust their skills.
