Most people get surprised to learn that only
about 20 of the cost goes towards purchasing
paint and the related supplies while the rest
goes towards labor charges. Even though the
cost of the paint is included in the entire
project cost, you want to avoid a San Diego
painter who may want to cut corners in terms of
paint quality. It is always better if you paid
slightly more initially but save your money in
the long run by using paints and materials that
will last longer. High quality paint has a
lifespan of more than seven years but there are
low quality imitations that will hardly last four
years.

Prep work Any reputable San Diego painting
contractor has to do some pre work in order to
remove dirt and any loose paint. There are
painters who only pressure wash the exterior of
your home while others will also do scraping,
sanding, priming as well as caulking seams the
amount of work that is done will definitely be
reflected in the cost of the project. Sometime
primer will be required but this will depend on
the condition as well as the type of paint used.

Repairs The condition of the walls that are
going to be painted will also have an impact on
the cost of the project. Some walls may have
effects of water damage or rot and, as a result,
they may need to get repaired and primed before
they can be worked on. If the work isnt too
extensive the painting contractor San Diego may
include that in the prep works.

discover the different San Diego painters will
charge different rates for a similar type of job

estimates and comparing them. You want to ensure
that you talk to every painting contractor San
Diego that you would like to engage so that you
can explain exactly what you are interested in
