How To Choose A Painter

Getting your home interior painted can be one of the biggest visual changes you can make.  Its also much more affordable than getting a new kitchen or bathroom remodel done.

When considering hiring a painting service there are a few steps you should take.

Explore your options to find the right provider.  Talk to multiple providers (yes, we are telling you to get several quotes).  Get an idea of exactly what each quote entails.  Will they patch and repair holes and marks on the wall?  Will they provide paint and supplies?  Who chooses the colors? Get each quote in writing so you aren’t left arguing about the details at the end of the job.

Ask lots of questions.  Each quote is a chance to learn more about what goes into a good paint job, and can help you refine your questioning for the next provider.  Make sure you get a detailed summary of the entire job and what it will cost.

Check the references of each provider.  Any reputable painting service will be able to provide a list of satisfied customers to you.  Make sure to call a few and find out how they liked the service.

After you have your newly painted home pay the favor forward.  Agree to be a reference or write an online review if you like how everything turned out.  If there are any issues make sure to ask your painter to fix them.  Always keep the written quote handy if the painter forgot anything, it makes asking for things they missed much easier.
