📋 How to Prep for Your Estimate
Want to make your estimate even more productive? Here’s what to consider beforehand:
Surfaces: Are we painting walls, ceilings, cabinets, doors, windows, trim, closets? Having a roughly defined scope going into the estimate helps both parties!
Colors: Bring ideas! We can offer AI previews by request and partner with a local designer for expert help.
Priorities: What matters most— cost, quality, trust, communication? Let us know.
Timing: We’re flexible, but please note—we do book up fast!
Budget:
Projects over $3,000 require a 20% deposit to hold your spot; the rest is due at completion.
Under $3,000? No deposit—just full payment when the job’s done.
We prefer payment by check, but also accept credit cards and offer financing
Coming prepared means a smoother estimate and a stronger start.
🚫 5 Common Mistakes to Avoid
A great paint job starts with choosing the right team. Avoid these common missteps:
🚫 Going for the cheapest bid: It may save money upfront but often leads to costly fixes later
📉 Skipping reviews and references: Don’t rely on just words—check Google reviews and ask for proof of quality.
🔒Hiring uninsured contractors: Protect yourself from liability and subpar work
🥶 Poor communication before the job: If they don’t listen or clarify during the estimate, don’t expect it to get better once work starts.
🏃♂️ Rushed, surface-level estimates: A thorough estimate asks the right questions and uncovers details to avoid surprises.
Avoiding these pitfalls sets your project up for success.

At 360 Painting, we believe in offering exceptional value, not by being the lowest-priced option, but by delivering superior quality at a fair price. Our pricing is positioned around the 70% mark on the investment scale, striking a balance between affordability and excellence.

💳 Flexible Financing Options Available
If your project is $2,000+ and you have good credit, financing can make your dream home refresh easier than ever.
Why it works:
0% Interest for 12 Months – No interest if paid in full within a year.
Low Monthly Payments (24–240 Months) – Spread out costs with a fixed 9.99% rate.
90 day deferred payments - paint with no money down
It’s perfect if:
You’ve just bought a home and want it move-in ready
You’d rather keep your savings working elsewhere
You prefer low monthly payments over a large upfront expense
The best part? No prepayment penalties, and applying starts with a soft credit check (no impact to your score). A hard credit check only happens if you choose to move forward.
