Timber window painting: care for the details around the glass
Prepare a window schedule with photographs and approximate sizes. State which faces need painting and whether the windows currently open and close properly. Ask the contractor to distinguish coating work from timber, glazing or hardware repairs. Detailed timberwork can take more time than its surface area suggests.
What to include in your timber window painting quote
Make the scope specific before comparing prices. Use these details to describe your Ballarat project and ask the contractor to confirm each part of the work in writing.
Inside and outside
Identify the faces to be coated and access to upper-storey windows. Do not assume both sides are covered.
Repairs and operation
Flag sticking windows, loose components and deteriorated timber for assessment by the appropriate trade.
