Before you send a Springfield request

  • Note any hail or wind damage and whether an insurance claim is open, so painters know the scope.
  • For rentals, give the lease turnover date and whether the unit is occupied.
  • If the house is in the Walnut Street or Commercial Street historic district, or is a local landmark, ask the city about a Certificate of Appropriateness before work starts.
  • For any home built before 1978, ask for the firm’s EPA lead-safe certification.
  • Ask each painter for their Springfield business license and proof of insurance.

Springfield painting questions

Do I need approval to repaint on Walnut Street?

Exterior work on properties in the Walnut Street district needs a Certificate of Appropriateness. Ask the city’s Development Review Office whether your project needs one.

Can I paint the brick chimney on an older house?

In the Walnut Street district the guidelines advise against painting or sealing natural brick or stone chimneys. Elsewhere, ask painters about breathable coatings.

Should I repaint right after hail?

Have the siding and trim inspected first. Damaged boards may need repair or replacement before paint.

Is lead paint likely in my house?

If it was built before 1978, quite possibly. Hire an EPA-certified firm for any work that disturbs paint.

Does a painter need a license in Springfield?

Contractors doing business inside Springfield need a city business license. Ask to see it, along with proof of insurance.

How far ahead do landlords near Missouri State book?

Booking well ahead of August and January move-ins is wise. A unit that is empty for only a few days needs a crew with the dates locked in.

What should I ask after a hailstorm?

Ask the painter to walk the house with you, list the boards and trim that need repair, and price paint and repairs as separate lines so the scope matches any insurance estimate.

Do you cover Nixa, Ozark and Republic?

Yes. Independent painters across the Springfield area can respond.
