No Surprise Pricing
Homeowners deserve to understand what they are paying for before work begins. Good Faith Painting provides a detailed, customized written estimate and communicates changes in scope before additional chargeable work proceeds.
The Price Shouldn't Change Without a Clear Reason
A low estimate can become frustrating when the homeowner later discovers that important preparation, repairs, or scope details were never clearly defined.
Good Faith Painting starts with a detailed, customized estimate so homeowners can see what is being proposed. If a legitimate change in scope is discovered or requested, the goal is to explain the change clearly before additional chargeable work proceeds.
Know What the Estimate Is Built Around
Project Scope
The estimate should identify the rooms, surfaces, or exterior areas included in the proposed work.
Preparation
Visible prep needs such as drywall repairs, peeling paint, caulking, and surface concerns can be discussed before production begins.
Protection
Floors, furniture, windows, brick, landscaping, plants, and surrounding surfaces are considered as part of the project plan.
Paint & Finish
Product choice, finish level, and surface needs can affect the final project scope and price.
Scheduling
Access, project timing, weather, repairs, and sequencing can all affect how the job is planned.
Payment Schedule
Good Faith requires a 25% deposit, with the remaining balance due upon completion of the agreed project.
No Unapproved Surprise Charges
Good Faith Painting uses detailed estimates to establish the project scope. If hidden damage, a homeowner-requested addition, or another legitimate change affects the scope, the change should be explained clearly and respectfully before additional chargeable work moves forward.
