Things to be considered when getting a painting estimate

When you call professional Gold Coast painters for repainting your home or office building, he will first do an estimate that what needs to be done and how much work is there. But what has to be considered in that estimate?
Initially, the Gold Coast painter will make a rough estimate of the work that you want him to do. He will ask you what you want, what are your needs, priorities, interests and budget, and he will give you advice. During this stage, the Gold Coast painters will be able to tell you the time frame to complete the work, also they will tell you approximate price and the required materials. If you are comfortable with the approx estimate, the painter will provide you a detailed written contract, which will include all the details he will do with the materials he will use.

Here are a number of things that could be listed in your painting detailed contract:

• The type of paint used: Would you like to use just eco-friendly paints? Or you are in need of rust proof paint or with low VOC?
