Finding a good painter can be a stressful job. Having your house painted is not just as simple as hiring someone with a brush and bucket of paint and brush. The way you show off your property through its decoration and presentation is an important factor.
Finding a good painter can be a stressful job. Having your house painted is not just as simple as hiring someone with a brush and bucket of paint and brush. The way you show off your property through its decoration and presentation is an important factor to us. Our choice in décor determines the environment we live in and how guests perceive us. For these reasons you want to select the right person to do the job. The following are a number of factors to take into consideration when determining the ability of your contracted painter:
Price
The price a painter charges should fairly match the market value of the proposed work and resemble their ability and experience. You should also check for competitive rates; bearing in mind that an extremely low price that appears too good to be true often is and can mean a lack of quality.
Reliability
How long a painting job takes is of great importance in determining the standard of a painter. If they are proposing longer for a project which others advise will take shorter length to complete then they may be trying to rip you off or are not of the same level of competency as other professional painters.
Services Offered
Certain painters will offer more variety in their services which may be more difficult and intricate than others. You do not want to hire somebody who cannot meet your requirements and more importantly somebody who makes false claims in their ability to perform certain services.
Reputation
Experience does not always mean better and newer painting contractors should not be underestimated but you should, however, take into account those who have positive feedback from past clients.
Quality
This is arguably the most important factor but a hard one to decipher without taking the risk on a painter and finding out the hard way. There are ways to determine as stated before but also through their past completed projects. Ask to see a brochure or selection of the contractor’s previous work so as to gain an insight into the quality of work you can expect and whether their style and technique matches your requirements.
