Interior & Exterior Painting Estimates... What Should You Expect?
Interior and Exterior Painting Estimates... What Should You Expect?
So you have decided to hire a professional painting contractor to do your next painting project, That's a great idea as some jobs should only be handled by the pros. But, how do you tell the professional from the hacks? Whom should you choose? That's a tough question to answer, and I will only address some things to look for when hiring a professional painting contractor. A major consideration is the estimate. We use the estimate as a rough contract, so we try and make it as detailed as possible. I have listed a few things you should be looking for when ever a contractor furnishes you with an estimate. You need to look for specifics pertaining to how many coats of paint and of what thickness will be applied. It should be clearly noted the method of application, spray brush or roller. There is a big difference in over all quality and longevity between spray and roll. It should be clearly listed what brand and grade of paints are going to be used as they vary greatly in price and quality. It should be clearly indicated as to how many painters will be used and how many days it will take to complete the project. Most professional painting contractors both interior and exterior give detailed estimates. So a good sign of a reputable trustworthy contractor is a detailed estimate. If yours is lacking any of the basics I have listed then “Buyer Beware”. I will try and blog other things to look for in my next post.
Peace
