Should a contractor pay for re-painting after having to re-open a wall? Our contract specifies that we are to hire our own painter. The painter came and painted when requested to do so.

The contractor now expects the painter to repaint for no additional charge, and claims this is completely "normal". No mural, just prime & one color of paint.

Is it wise to leave door key to paint contractor? I'm having my new house painted by paint contractor and the whole job will take about 5-6 days. What is typically the common practice here: do I leave the door key with the contractor for the whole week so he can get in/out, OR do I open the door for him in the morning and lock it when the day is done? I don't currently live in the new place so having to drive back and forth to open/close the door for the painters is kind of a hassle. But if I leave the key with him I'm worried he'll make a duplicate of it or something. What to do? Please advise. Thanks!

How get contractors for painting? My dad and his friend currently are employed as painters. They have been painting for about 20 years. I told my dad that he could probably get contracts straight from contractors because of his experience. He said he would, but his English is not too good. I told him I would try for him, but I don't know how to begin. How do I begin? Do I just start calling general contractors and Realtors and just ask if they need painters until someone says yes? Any advice would be appreciated, thank you.
