Scheduling

Normally our schedule runs about two to three weeks out. Although we will give you an approximate start date we can rarely give you an exact date. You should expect to be kept informed by our field manager as we get closer to your start date.

Colors

Premiere Painting offers a color consultation for all of our customers. Please ask any of our staff if you are interested. If we are matching the existing color, we will match the color on the first day of the job. We will need you to be available to ok the color selection.

If you would like to choose the color your self we can provide you with the paint manufactures color samples. Be aware that manufacturers color samples can be inconsistent and may vary somewhat due to age. Be certain to view color samples in the same light as that in which the paint will be applied. If you would like, we can get you a paint sample and apply some test patches on your home. The charge for this is $50 per hour plus materials.

Foreman

The first day of the job you will meet the foreman. The foreman is the most experienced painter on the crew. Please be sure to direct any questions during the job directly to the foreman, not the other painters.

Windows

Although new paint dries to the touch with in a few hours, it does not fully cure for about two weeks. To avoid stuck windows please operate your windows every day or so for about two weeks.

Doors

Doors should be left open as long as possible to allow them to dry. Alkyd (oil) takes longer to dry than latex (acrylic). It is important alkyd painted doors not be closed for at least 8 hours.

Payment

Customer evaluation

You will be asked to complete a customer rating sheet when the job is finished. Your written feedback is very important to everyone in our business. In particular, the crew benefits from you evaluation and comments. The completed form can be given to the foreman or mailed to our office.
