Questions to Ask Chesapeake Painting Services

Final walkthrough and quality control process

Most reviews praise this company's work, but a couple of detailed reviews mentioned concerns about final walkthrough procedures and follow-up on quality issues. Before signing, it's worth clarifying expectations. Ask them directly: "Can we schedule a final walkthrough together before the crew leaves, and what's the process if I find issues after they're gone?"
