How to Choose a House Painter
Investments in your home are never taken lightly, and
painting is no exception. Choosing the right painting company is crucial to
achieving a high-quality finish that will stand the test of time, and ensuring
you are happy with the experience.
A professional painting company will provide a detailed
proposal for your project, including a quote broken down into components. This
ensures there aren’t any surprises and if you are comparing quotes you can see
where the differences are. For example, maybe one quote has included the
scaffolding and another hasn’t.
This is also their opportunity to clearly demonstrate that
they understand your needs and concerns. Misunderstandings and ambiguity can
lead to disappointment, so make sure your painter is a clear and proactive
communicator.
While a contractor can tell you all about why they are the
best for the job, there’s nothing like feedback from previous customers to set
your mind at ease. Ask them to provide testimonials and referees and check out
online reviews.
While reviews will give you a good feel for the contractor,
also pay attention to their demeanour at your first meeting – are they
friendly, polite and respectful of your property? The contractor will be on
your property or in your house, potentially for some time. You need to feel
comfortable with them being there.
Ask whether employees are security checked and find out what
procedures are for keeping the worksite tidy, safe and secure. And trust your
gut – if you don’t feel comfortable with the contractor, don’t employ them.
Choosing a painter is important, it means their work must
meet industry standards, and provides you with an avenue to seek recourse if
disputes arise.
