Jackson painting questions
Does my painter need a license?
For jobs over $10,000, a Mississippi residential remodeling license may apply. For pre-1978 homes, the firm needs MDEQ lead certification.
When should I paint the outside?
Spring and fall are usually easiest. Summer heat and storms shorten the working day.
I live in Belhaven. What do I need?
Start with a pre-application meeting with city staff. Maintenance may only need a $15 Compliance Agreement.
How do painters deal with mildew?
They wash and treat it, let the surface dry and often use paint with a mildewcide.
Do you cover Ridgeland and Brandon?
Yes. Independent painters in those areas can respond.
How many painters will contact me?
Up to 5 for Best Price, 3 to 5 for Fastest Start and usually 2 for Top Quality. There is no obligation.
