Painting · What changed

Ask what changed on a exterior paint

Send this if they hinted the work is different from the walkthrough. Revise the bid after you know the new scope.

Names, prices, and companies on this page are examples.

What the old price covered

scrape, prime, and two coats on the siding, trim, and the garage door walked that day. Left out: the detached shed, which was not part of the walk.

Do not guess a new number

The gap between paint bids is usually hours of prep, not the gallons. Do not cut the price by quietly skipping the primer. Should the garage door stay in the price, or come out?

Did the exterior paint change?

Hi James,

Has the exterior paint changed since I priced it at $6,450? If it has, tell me what is different and I will revise it.

Should the garage door stay in the price, or come out?

Thanks,
