Providing great customer service and being able to successfully manage challenging situations are all important parts of being a painter. Tell the hiring manager what you would do in this situation. Better yet - talk about a time that this has happened to you, if applicable.

"If I came across wood rot during a job, I would immediately let the client know before I continued with the job. I would price out the changes and formally quote for the job again. After that, once the client approves, I would begin the job. This has happened to me twice in my painting career and this method of managing the unexpected has always worked out well in the end."
