Frequently asked questions
Straight answers about paint, payments, timelines and what to expect on painting day.
About the company
How long have you been in business?
Veeto Painting has served families and businesses in Orange County since 2004, and has completed hundreds of individual painting, remodeling and renovation projects.
Do you use subcontractors?
No. Our in-house crew handles the work so every project meets our standards. If a project needs a specialist, like a welder or electrician, we tell you in advance.
Do you take on large commercial projects?
Yes. We manage several commercial projects throughout the year, from offices to retail stores. Contact us for a quote based on your requirements.
Paint and color
Will you help me choose paint colors?
Yes. A color consultation is part of every project. We can also recommend a visit to a local Dunn-Edwards store, whose color specialists give excellent advice.
What paint brands do you use?
We use Dunn-Edwards for almost all residential and commercial projects. We can source paint from other leading manufacturers, including Benjamin Moore, Sherwin-Williams, Behr and Vista.
What are VOCs?
VOC stands for volatile organic compounds, solvents still found in some paints. They can release chemicals such as formaldehyde into the air for years after painting, which can affect health. That's why we choose low- and zero-VOC products whenever they suit the surface.
Is your paint safe for kids and pets?
We use low- and zero-VOC products whenever they suit the surface, which means less odor and fewer airborne chemicals in your home.
Pricing and payment
Why shouldn't I just choose the cheapest painter?
It's the question we hear most, and it's a fair one. In our experience, the lowest bid usually means skipped prep, thinned paint or an inexperienced crew, and the results show within a year or two. We've been hired to fix more "cheap paint jobs" than we can count. Our prices are fair and our proposals are itemized, so you can see exactly what you're paying for. Why pay for the same job twice when it can be done right the first time?
Do you ask for a down payment?
California law limits the down payment on a home improvement contract to $1,000 or 10% of the contract price, whichever is less. That's the most we ask for before work starts.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept personal and business checks made payable to Veeto Painting. Ask us about other payment options when you receive your proposal.
Are estimates really free?
Yes. We visit, assess the project and send a written proposal at no cost and with no obligation.
During the project
How long will my project take?
Your written proposal includes the estimated completion time. We work to finish on schedule and keep you updated on progress throughout.
How many painters will work on my project?
It depends on the scope. We size the crew for each project to finish as quickly as possible with the least disruption to your home or business.
Will there be a foreman or project manager?
Yes. Every project has a project manager and a foreman, and they're your main points of contact.
Where will you store materials?
We can bring a lockable storage container for supplies. You decide where it goes on your property.
How messy is painting?
Messy for our painters, never for your home. We cover furniture and tape off exposed surfaces to protect them from dust and splatter. When we're done, your property is as clean as you left it, just with a completely refreshed look.
Do you offer a warranty?
Yes. Our warranty covers labor on the project, and you're also covered by the paint manufacturer's product warranty. We'll explain the specific terms in your proposal.
