What this visit usually covers

A single room is a different job from an empty apartment. Count the rooms and the ceiling height.
Trim and doors take longer than a flat wall. Say if they are included.
A fresh drywall patch needs primer. Paint will flash if the patch is skipped.
Lead-safe work in older coatings is a scope question. Do not ask a painter to sand unknown old paint without saying the building is old.

What to send with the request

Each room to be painted, including the ceiling if it is in scope.
Damage, hooks, and wallpaper that would have to come off first.
The color chip or the can if you are matching.
