Frequently Asked Questions

A letter is sent to homeowners whose houses are selected to be painted. The letter states that any debris or shrubbery that makes it difficult for teams to paint the house should be removed prior to paint day. This must be coordinated with friends and family members that can assist you.

Painting will begin at 8 a.m. and should end at 4 p.m.

The team captains are instructed not to leave used supplies in homeowner's yards. They are also instructed to leave unopened cans of paint with the home owner for future touch-ups. However, if there are leftover supplies in your yard, be sure to let us know and we will get the appropriate staff to clean it up.

Homeowners choose their paint colors from the color charts shown to them by an inspector or staff member. There are five color options with colors for the house and trim. The homeowner then signs acknowledging that these are the color they selected.

The inspector will meet with you prior to paint day to write a specification on the preparation work and/or minor repairs that will be completed prior to paint day. A contractor will perform the work. Team captains are instructed to meet the homeowner and look around the house prior to paint day. They are also instructed to confirm the colors chosen by the homeowner.

After paint day is over, surveys are sent to the homeowner and the team captain allowing them to voice their concerns and make suggestions. We welcome ideas for improvement.
