What to look for and what to ask. Or ask Rocky anything about painters.

How to choose a painter.

What to ask before you hire, from Rocky.

Interior and exterior painters for homes, condos and new builds. Use this checklist when you compare painters, then ask Rocky if you want a second opinion.

  • Ask how many coats, which paint line and what prep is included.
  • For exteriors, ask about temperature limits for the paint they use.
  • Get at least two written quotes that list scope, materials, schedule and payment stages.
  • Contractors who take money before the work is finished need an Alberta prepaid contracting licence. Ask for the number before you pay a deposit.
  • Ask for a WCB Alberta clearance letter and proof of liability insurance.
  • Read recent reviews and ask for references from jobs like yours.
