Painting work is dangerous if you don’t use personal protective equipment (PPEs). Paints, even water-based ones, contain harmful chemicals. Some paints contain lead and asbestos, so you need to check with your suppliers if these paints have these toxic substances. Note also that structures painted in the 70s used lead and asbestos paints. Removing this can be a hazardous activity. Other things to consider are areas where you will do painting work if it has proper ventilation or elevation. Note also the presence of electrical wiring.

Yes. The warranty covers the quality of the workmanship and is guaranteed to last for five years from the paint manufacturer. If problems arise, then the painter can make urgent repairs.

The time frame for the job completion depends on many factors. The scale and complexity of the job and the team’s size determine the time frame for the job’s completion. The terms, or quotes, indicate the job’s completion time frame.
