Pay attention to how much time they take to make this assessment, usually the longer time they take the more realistic the estimate will be. Ask each of the candidate companies how many painters they will use to do the work.
* State your expectations: The price of the job includes more than just the paint; the key to an excellent job is the initial preparation. Don’t be afraid to tell the contractors what it is you expect.

The estimate must also specify the number of coats of paint, primer and top cost as well as the name of the paint manufacturer. You should also expect the offer to include a detailed description of the surface preparation that will be carried out as well as the amount.
* Contractor’s credentials: Make sure the company is licensed and carries liability insurance and workers comp. It never hurts to check with the local Better Business Bureau to see whether the contractor has any unattended to complaints.
