Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before starting your painting project.

Questions? We've Got Answers.

Planning a project? We've answered some of the questions we hear most often. If you don't find what you're looking for, our team is always happy to help.

How much does a painting project cost?

Every painting project is different. Pricing depends on the size of the project, the condition of the surfaces, the amount of preparation required, and the type of finish you’re looking for.

We take the time to understand your project and provide a detailed estimate outlining the work involved.

How far in advance should I book?

That depends on the time of year and the type of project. Our exterior schedule tends to fill up quickly during the warmer months, so we recommend reaching out early if you’re planning an exterior repaint.

Interior painting can be scheduled throughout the year, although availability will vary depending on our current projects.

How long will my painting project take?

A smaller interior project might take a day or two, while a full interior or exterior repaint can take considerably longer.

The timeline depends on the size of the job, preparation, repairs, number of coats, and weather conditions for exterior work.

We’ll discuss the expected schedule with you before the project begins and keep you informed along the way.

How should I prepare before the painters arrive?

For interior projects, we generally ask that furniture be moved about two feet away from the walls and that wall decorations, valuables, and fragile items be removed. We can help with heavier furniture when needed.

For exterior projects, it’s helpful to move patio furniture, planters, and other items away from the house and trim back vegetation that may interfere with access.

We’ll let you know if there’s anything specific we need you to prepare before your project starts.

Can you help me choose paint colours?

Absolutely! Choosing colours can be one of the hardest parts of a painting project.

Our team includes an experienced colour consultant who helps customers narrow down their choices, coordinate colours, and find combinations that work with their home and personal style.

We’re happy to discuss colour options as part of planning your project.

What brands and types of paint do you use?

We primarily work with quality products from Cloverdale Paint and Sherwin-Williams.

Different surfaces require different coatings, so we choose products based on the material, condition, location, and finish you’re looking for.

You can also read our paint product recommendations for more information about some of the products we use.

What happens when the painting is finished?

We believe the final walkthrough is an important part of every project.

Once the painting is complete, we’ll review the finished work with you and address any touch-ups or concerns before considering the project finished.

We want you to feel confident in the work we’ve done and comfortable bringing up anything that needs attention.

What areas does Holloway Painting serve?

We’re based in Surrey, BC, and work throughout the Lower Mainland, including White Rock, South Surrey, Langley, Richmond, Delta, and surrounding communities.

Do you offer a warranty on your painting work?

Yes! Holloway Painting stands behind our workmanship and offers a warranty on our painting projects. Full warranty details and coverage are outlined in your painting agreement.

Is Holloway Painting insured and covered by WorkSafeBC?

Absolutely. Holloway Painting carries $5 million in commercial liability insurance and maintains WorkSafeBC coverage.

We take workplace safety seriously and can provide proof of coverage when requested, including for strata and commercial projects.
