After you send the form
Your enquiry goes to an independent local painting business that covers your suburb. The painter contacts you by phone or email, asks a few questions and arranges a time to see the house. You get a written quote, compare it with any others, and decide whether to go ahead.
- A painter calls you. Usually to arrange a visit.
- They see the house. Every side, every surface, any repairs.
- The price in writing. Preparation, products and coats listed.
Handy to have ready
Have a rough idea of what needs painting, inside or out, and when you would like it done. Photos of each side of the house help, especially of flaking paint, rot or anything high up. If the house was built before the 1980s, say so, because the painter will plan for possible lead paint.
FAQs
When is the best time to book a painter?
As early as you can for spring and summer, the busiest seasons for exterior work in Auckland. If you want the outside done before Christmas, ask for a quote in winter or early spring. Interiors can be booked at any time of year. If you haven't heard back after sending the form, call or email and we'll follow it up.
Can I get a price without a visit?
A rough idea, sometimes, from good photos. A firm price almost always needs a visit, because the condition of the paint, the repairs, the access and any lead paint only show up on site. A written quote after a visit is the one worth comparing.
Do you paint commercial buildings?
This service is for homes: houses, townhouses and small apartment blocks. For a shop, office or larger building, say so in the form, and we'll tell you whether a painter in your area takes on that kind of job.
What happens to my details?
They go to the painting business that will quote your job and nowhere else. The privacy policy and how a quote works explain exactly what happens with them.
