Start with the surface, then plan the finish.
A room refresh, an exterior repaint and a cabinet update require different preparation. Start by identifying what is being painted, its current condition and the result you want. Walls with visible repairs, weathered outdoor trim and frequently handled cabinet doors should each be discussed as part of the estimate.
Use the individual service guides to compare the work involved. Interior painting focuses on rooms and occupied spaces. Exterior painting addresses outdoor surfaces and exposure. Commercial painting adds business access and scheduling considerations. Cabinet painting concentrates on detailed surfaces, hardware and finish choices.
What to discuss in your estimate
- Interior walls, ceilings and trim
- Exterior surfaces and painted details

Before you request an estimate
- List the rooms, surfaces or building areas involved.
- Describe peeling paint, stains, damage or previous repairs.
- Share your preferred colors and any timing or access limits.
Clarify the details before work starts
Ask which surfaces, preparation, materials and finish items are included. Discuss access, protection of adjoining areas, cleanup and timing as part of the written scope for your property.

Which painting page should I start with?
Choose interior painting for rooms and trim, exterior painting for outdoor surfaces, commercial painting for business spaces, or cabinet painting for existing cabinets. If the project combines several areas, describe them together when you call.
Can painting be discussed with repair or remodeling work?
Yes. Star Quality also offers drywall, flooring, carpentry and remodeling services. Explain the complete project so the relationship between repairs, installation and final painting can be discussed before work is scoped.
