A good paint job is not only the paint job itself. The customer experience during painting their home or place of business is important. How polite and considerate the painters were, how experienced they were with their techniques and products, all these are important factors.
This post is about the paint job itself. The PDCA (Painting and Decorating Contractors of America) has industry standards. Painting Contractors should follow these standards. Consumers architects, designers and construction industry types will reference them as needed.
Among other characteristics, these standards refer to a painted surface that has to be “uniform in appearance, color, texture, hiding and sheen. Free of foreign material, lumps, skins, runs, sags, holidays, misses, or insufficient coverage. It is also a surface free of drips, spatters, spills or overspray.”
If a paint contractor observes the above Industry Standards, that contractor will likely produce a good paint job.

Preparation before painting will help with a great paint job.
Holes, cracks and dents should be filled, sanded and spot-primed.
Cracks between woodwork and drywall should be caulked.
Walls must be sanded before coats of paint.
Surfaces need to be clean and dust free.
Lines between adjoining surfaces or different colours should be straight.
And of course after the paint job is complete, a thorough cleaning is recommended.
