What to ask before hiring painters?

18 years ago

I want to get my house painted inside...LR, DR, FR, hall & MBR. What kinds of questions should I be asking when I get bids for the job so that I can decide whether or not to hire them? I will be going to color...right now everything is a light beige w/white ceilings & woodwork. The ceilings & woodwork will remain white but I need color on the walls. I had posted this same question on the Decorating forum & they said to check here.

I just need a sort of check list for hiring painters. We can't do it ourselves anymore.

TIA!!
