What to Expect During a Professional House Painting Project
Hiring a professional painting contractor for your house painting project is a great way to ensure high-quality, long-lasting results—but if you’ve never worked with a painting company before, you might not know what to expect. At Fair Value Painters, we believe in transparency, preparation, and making the process as smooth as possible for homeowners in Strand, Somerset West, and Gordon’s Bay.
Here’s a step-by-step guide to what happens during a typical professional house painting project, so you can feel confident and prepared every step of the way.
1. Free On-Site Quotation and Consultation
Every project begins with a visit to your home. We assess the scope of the work, discuss your preferences, and provide expert guidance on:
- Paint colours and finishes
- Areas that may need repair or extra prep
- The most suitable type of paint for your surfaces
Once we understand your needs, we provide a detailed, written quotation with no hidden fees.
2. Scheduling and Planning
We’ll work with you to choose dates that suit your schedule and ensure weather conditions are ideal—especially for exterior work in Gordon’s Bay, where humidity and wind need to be factored in.
Once booked, we give you a timeline and explain what to expect each day.
3. Surface Preparation
Good preparation is the key to a flawless, durable paint job. Before we even open a paint can, our team gets to work on:
- Moving and covering furniture or outdoor plants
- Cleaning and sanding walls
- Filling holes and repairing cracks
- Removing peeling paint
- Applying primer where necessary
For exterior jobs in coastal areas like Strand, we also clean away salt residue, mold, or mildew that can affect adhesion.
4. Paint Application
Once prep is complete, we begin painting using:
- High-quality brushes and rollers for clean lines
- Spray equipment when appropriate for large or textured surfaces
- Multiple coats as needed for full, even coverage
We use premium, weather-resistant paints for exterior jobs and low-VOC, eco-friendly paints indoors, ensuring a safe, long-lasting finish.
5. Daily Clean-Up and Progress Updates
We respect your space. Each day, our team:
- Cleans up tools and materials
- Ensures walkways and rooms remain usable
- Updates you on progress and next steps
You’ll always know what’s happening in your home, and we’re happy to answer any questions throughout the project.
6. Final Inspection and Touch-Ups
Before we consider the job complete, we walk through the space with you to:
- Check every surface
- Address any touch-ups
- Ensure you’re completely satisfied
We never leave a project without your full approval. Plus, you’ll receive our 6-month touch-up guarantee for added peace of mind.
7. Aftercare and Maintenance Advice
We don’t just paint and walk away—we provide tips for maintaining your new paint job and keeping your home looking its best. If you’d like, we can also schedule regular repaint assessments to help keep your property in top condition.
