A smooth, successful house painting project starts with the right preparation. This FAQ gives homeowners a clear, practical guide to everything they should know before booking their project through Randall’s.
What should I think about before scheduling a painting project?
Start by identifying the areas you want painted and the scope of work. Decide whether you need interior painting, exterior painting, or both. Consider furniture, accessibility, and whether any repairs are needed. Knowing this helps you request an accurate quote from your painter.

How early should I book my painting project?
Interior projects can be booked throughout the year. Exterior projects fill quickly during warm seasons. Booking in advance helps ensure your preferred timing and allows enough room for color selection and preparation.
What should I expect during an estimate or consultation?
A professional painter will assess surfaces, measure the space, check for repairs, discuss color options, and recommend products. You will receive a clear breakdown of work, materials, and timelines.
Do I need to prepare anything before painters arrive?
Homeowners can help by removing decor, small electronics, fragile items, and moving furniture away from walls. For exterior work, clear pathways, trim nearby plants, and ensure pets remain safe and out of the work area. Painters handle sanding, patching, and priming.
How long does a typical painting project take?
A single interior room usually takes one to two days. Full home projects take several days. Exterior work depends heavily on weather. Your painter will confirm timing during the estimate.
What factors affect the total cost?
Pricing depends on square footage, repairs, height, trim work, the number of rooms, paint quality, and surface condition. Premium paints cost more but last longer and resist wear better, which reduces future maintenance.
How should I pick a color palette?
Always test paint samples on your walls. Lighting changes a color throughout the day, so test in multiple spots. If you want help, Randall’s team can offer color support at any store location.
Are eco friendly paints available?
Yes. Low VOC and environmentally conscious coatings are available for sensitive areas like bedrooms and nurseries. They reduce odor and improve indoor air quality.
What if weather affects my exterior project?
Painters monitor weather closely. If rain or humidity makes conditions unsuitable, they pause work to ensure a long lasting finish. Your painter will communicate any adjustments.
How can I keep my paint looking fresh over time?
Light cleaning, seasonal inspections, and prompt touch ups help maintain the finish. Exterior surfaces benefit from routine washing to remove dirt, mildew, and debris.
