Protecting Your Belongings
A professional painter should protect your home and furniture during the project. Before hiring a painter, consider asking these important questions:
•Will my belongings be covered with plastic or drop cloths?
•Will furniture be moved, or do I need to move it myself?
•Will wall decorations be removed and reinstalled afterward?
•Will floors be protected?
•Will ceiling fans and light fixtures be covered?
•Will air returns and vents be protected?
Clear expectations prevent misunderstandings and ensure your home stays clean and safe during the project.
with that being said…your health should be mentioned- if certain paint fumes are not tolerable to you

Who Will Actually Do the Work?
One of the most important questions you can ask.
Who will be performing the job?
Will the work be completed by the company’s own employees, or will it be subcontracted?
Some painting companies subcontract their work. While this is common, it can affect pricing, communication, and quality.
You can learn more about subcontracting painters here:
Why We Don’t Subcontract
At Paramount Drywall and Painting Services Inc., all painting work is completed in-house by our own team.
We believe this provides better value and better results for our customers. Here’s why we keep our work in-house:
1. Better Pricing Control
If subcontractors are involved, you often pay both the painting company and the subcontractor. Keeping work in-house helps control costs.
2. Better Quality Control
Working with our own team allows us to maintain consistent standards and deliver better results.
3. Lower Overhead Costs
Without subcontractors, there are fewer layers of cost passed on to the customer.

Ask About Paint Quality
Paint quality plays a major role in how long your project will last.
Important questions to ask include:
•What grade of paint will be used?
•Where will the paint be purchased?
•Does the paint include a warranty?
These details can make a big difference in durability and appearance.
At Paramount Drywall Services Inc., we understand that every customer has a different budget.
That is why we usually offer two paint options:
