If you work with a painting contractor, they may specialize in painting specific types of properties, such as houses and apartments, or commercial buildings, such as offices, factories, or retail stores.

Project Estimates
One of the first steps to working with a painting contractor will likely entail your unique project estimate. As project size and needs will all vary, if you need the entire exterior of your building painted, or you simply want to refresh your downstairs bathroom, your projects will cost differently. From calculating the amount of time your project will take, to budgeting for resources, a painting contractor will need to assess your project scope before coming up with a plan.
In this stage, they will likely measure the area to be painted, discuss the type of finishes you’re looking for, time scope and more. A painting project will also require your contractor to assess the quality of the surfaces you need painted. This can allude to how much surface prep work they will need to carry out before painting such as cracks or other damage.
Client Project Coordination
After you’ve received a quote for your project, it’s time to get started. If you decide to work with the proposed contractor, then you’re on to client project coordination time. This is where you and your contractor will be able to meet with you and finalize any requirements as well as plan the order and timing of work. A qualified painting contractor will likely have other projects that their team will be working on. With this in mind, during this phase of your relationship, your contractor will be able to schedule your project accordingly.
When it comes to your paint project, your contractor client relationship is extremely important. If you do not have a good rapport with your contractor, you might have a difficult time getting the results you’ve been looking for. With Harpeth Painting’s residential and commercial solutions, you’ll get the refreshed paint look your home or building has needed.

Surface Preparation
Next, it’s almost time to get to painting! Thorough preparation of job sites and surfaces is essential to ensure a successful paint project. Your paint site might require items to be moved out of the way before your project can commence. From removing doors and furniture to protecting shrubs, garden areas and more, your painting contractor may require you to move a variety of things in the way of your paint project.
In order to get those beautiful, cohesive results you’ve been searching for, surface and space preparation is important. While some of the team might handle moving or protecting your furniture, the rest of your painting team will be able to fill cracks or holes and remove old paint if it is badly worn, or tackle any current peeling or flaking paint. Once your painting contractor team has removed all paint and applied a suitable primer to the bare surface, they’ll be able to begin painting. If the existing paint is in reasonable condition, they will likely clean and sand down the surface, getting it ready for your new paint color.
Completing the Job
Depending on the job, painters might spray, roll or brush surfaces. Depending on the color or hues of your paint, your contractor may need to apply several layers of paint or use a different type of primer. Your painting project will likely need a few days to finish, as your painting contractor will need to allow coats to dry in-between the next. Once your paint project is complete, it’s time to reset your space and let you enjoy the new vibes! A professional painting contractor will leave you with the gorgeous results your home or commercial space has been needing.
