List surfaces, not just rooms
For each room, identify walls, ceilings, trim and doors that you want included. Describe cracks, previous patches, peeling finish or staining, and mention known moisture issues so they can be reviewed before painting is planned.
Tell us whether you are changing a dark color to a light finish, matching an existing surface or using paint you already own. Product and color details help define preparation and material responsibilities.
Prepare a practical painting request
- Seattle ZIP code, rooms and approximate dimensions.
- Specific surfaces and the current condition of each.
- Desired colors, finishes and any paint already purchased.
- Furniture, belongings and rooms that must remain usable.
- Other work, access restrictions and preferred timing.
Plan the order of repairs and finishes
Discuss surface repairs, protection, furniture handling and cleanup before scheduling. Explain any other installation or remodeling work so newly finished areas do not need to be revisited unnecessarily.
Read our broader painting guide. For changes beyond finishes, use the separate Seattle remodeling page.

Does painting include every wall repair?
No. Describe the damaged areas and confirm the preparation included. Underlying problems need their own review.
