How is my estimate built?

We see the property, check the surfaces, and write what is included.

Estimates
Why not show one price online?

Prep, repairs, access, and size change the work. A site visit gives you a useful price.

Estimates
Can you work in an occupied home?

Yes. We plan room order, protection, access, pets, and daily cleanup with you.

Interior
What can delay exterior work?

Rain, temperature, wet surfaces, repairs, and product needs can change the schedule.

Exterior
What do you check on cabinets?

We review the parts, old finish, damage, hardware, mask lines, and new coating.

Cabinets
What do you check on decks, docks, and fences?

We review the wood, old finish, damage, moisture, access, and needed prep.

Wood
Can work fit around business hours?

Yes, when the site and written plan support that schedule.

Commercial
What should be in writing?

The work areas, prep, protection, finish, timing, cleanup, and exclusions.

Documentation
Are you licensed and insured?

Credentials
How soon can I get an estimate?

Estimates
What payment methods do you accept, and is a deposit required?

Your written proposal states the accepted payment methods and whether a deposit applies. We review those terms before work is scheduled.

Payments
Do you offer a workmanship warranty?

Yes. Kensington Valley Painting offers a 3-year workmanship warranty.

Warranty
How long does a painting project take?

Timing depends on the service, surface condition, repairs, access, drying, weather, and current schedule. Your proposal lists the planned dates after the site review.

Timeline
What changes the timeline by service type?

Interior work depends on rooms and repairs. Cabinets depend on part counts and coating steps. Exterior and wood work also depend on preparation, drying, and weather. Commercial work may be phased around site use.
