Full FAQ
Do painters need a license in Georgia?

No state license is required for painting in Georgia. Focus on insurance, a written estimate, and references from recent jobs.

What affects the cost of a paint job?

Preparation is the largest variable. Surface repairs, priming, the number of coats, and the quality of the paint all change the price. Ask each painter to itemize prep and materials separately.

How long should a paint job take?

Timing depends on the size of the project, the number of coats, and the weather for exterior work. A written estimate should include a start date, an expected duration, and a cleanup plan.
