Exterior Painting
Before we arrive...

  • Exterior furniture if possible, should be removed from areas to be painted or moved to a safe place. This includes the garbage can and recycling bins. All incidentals and items not fixed to your home should be removed and hooks removed where you would like the holes patched. If you like, we can visit prior to the start date to make a PLAN.
  • We start work early so we can leave before the dinner hour. 7:30 AM and 8:00 AM are our normal start times, which allows our painters to leave by 4:30 PM.
  • Our lead painter will discuss the project with you and determine your priorities and the most logical and efficient manor to proceed. Please inform the painter if we may have access to a bathroom.
  • We require a location to set-up tools and supplies. The garage, shed or fenced yard are suitable.
  • We will have canvas drop cloths around the perimeter of your home for several days. We will remove the cloths nightly on walks and entries but we may leave them near the foundation. Plastic film on windows will stay up until the painting is complete, with some exceptions. Please let the lead painter know of any concerns.
  • We will clean up the jobsite daily. This includes cleaning any paint chips from flower beds, keeping our tools in one location and making a final inspection for trash at the end of the day.
  • At the project completion we will place your remaining paint in a location convenient to you. Please consider where that may be.
  • Convenient and large labels on your paint cans identify location and colour of your finishes. For future touch-up or re-order these are a time saver and exclusive to Colour Scheme Professionals Inc.
  • In order to ensure that no detail is overlooked, please allow 15 minutes at the end of the job to walk through all the rooms with our painter. You may ask to schedule this "walk through" at a time at or close to the end of the project. Our lead painters are required to have a sheet signed by you indicating the walk through was completed.
  • Should any changes to the work occur during the project, our painters have a change order sheet that you may sign to authorize additional work. You may agree to hourly or a fixed price with materials added. This is required to proceed.
  • At the completion of the project, please leave payment with our lead painter. Any extra work will be billed to you from the office.
Finally, enjoy!
