  • Prep and repairs
  • Number of colors

A range, not a quote.

What good prep includes

Good prep means scraping failed paint, patching holes, sanding and caulking gaps. Bare wood gets primed before the first coat. Prep is where bids differ most, so ask what’s in the price.

Older homes and lead paint

In Spokane, about 68% of homes were built before 1980. EPA says about three-quarters of U.S. homes built before 1978 still contain some lead-based paint, and its Renovation, Repair and Painting rule covers paid work that disturbs paint in them. If your house is older than that, tell the contractor before work starts.

Exterior timing

Most nights from November through March drop to freezing at NOAA’s Spokane Felts Field and Coeur d’Alene stations (1991-2020 normals). Outside paint is a warm-season job, from late spring through early fall, and the label on the can gives the minimum temperature. Ask how landscaping and windows will be protected.

Cabinets and coats

Cabinet painting needs degreasing, sanding and a bonding primer, then a hard-wearing finish. Ask how many coats are included; bare wood or a big color change usually needs primer plus two coats of paint.

Inside the house

Ask whether moving furniture is in the price, because it is often listed separately.

When is the best time to paint outside?

Late spring through early fall, when the air stays above the minimum temperature on the paint label.

Do I need a permit to paint my house?

Painting itself usually doesn't need one. In a house built before 1978, the EPA's lead rule can apply to paid work that disturbs paint.

Do painters move furniture?

Sometimes. Ask whether it is in the price.
